So, I'm in this as one of the interviewed experts.

I have Things To Say about accuracy, but it was not as bad as I feared, if not as good as it could have been. (Curious if those unfamiliar with Alexander found it disjointed, as I expect it may have felt?)

But I'm in it, if not my best lines, dammit! And they gave MY breakthrough research on Hephaistion (Mr. Logistics) to *somebody else*. (WTFH?) Not that they understand such things matter.

I just read James Romm’s “Ghost on the Throne” about the conflicts between Alexander the Great’s generals after his death, and now I urgently need someone to make a -style political drama series and/or a about this period.

It’s got battles, intrigues, murders, dynastic feuds, badass princesses, and an outlawed Greek accountant-turned-general who takes command of an army of elite spearmen by summoning the literal ghost of Alexander. It is wild.

30/6 Playlist for your book/MCs?

I do--even put it up on the: Alexander's playlist:

We know loved music, and may have been a tolerably good kithara player himself...According to our sources, he was especially inflamed by martial melodies, although that might just be what later authors thought he ought to like. Nonetheless, I took it to heart and decided he'd be a fan of heavy metal, a little pop, and--of course--Queen.

Day 5! ! What inspired your love of time travel?

For me, it owes to being an historian. A natural extension, I think, is wondering what it would be like to go back in time or for people to come forward. Over on Tumblr, I've answered several "asks" about Alexander in the present.

I picked for mine (not ) because he's younger and more adaptable. Also because I want smash the romantization of Hadrian-Antinoos.

As Pride month opens, read a duology unafraid to front-and-center one of antiquity's most famous friendships. Make homophobe heads explode. loved a man more than his wives (whether or not he was still sleeping with him). Love is love. The story of the young Alexander before he became "the Great."

I'm going to play Successors (4th edition) this weekend, so I downloaded the rules.

They're 40 pages long and begin with a disclaimer that they're a reference, not a tutorial. "A better way to learn the game is to have someone teach you. Watch a video or two online if you can."

So I found the videos -- three parts. The first part, on victory conditions, is 20 minutes long.

This video was quite well done. The game promises to be a wild ride of territory-conquering, heir-assassinating, and corpse-stealing.
