556 - Uncle Abraham's Romance

About this episode

This episode explores the ongoing influence of medieval history on roleplaying games, particularly through the lens of Ars Magica.

The Ars Magica roleplaying game is currently complete, but the community is still mining great gaming material out of medieval history as part of a Share Alike License. The Games From Folktales podcast gives you new, odd, useful material each week, for roleplaying games set in European-styled fantasy settings. A range of Ars Magic materials based on the Games From Folktales podcast are available on Drivethru , Itch , and Patreon . Your support allows the podcast to continue and to makes advertisments unnecessary. If you're unable to support the podcast financially, please enjoy the Pay What You Want titles for free.
