Auf dieses Bild aus einer Handschrift um 1600 war ich vor längerer Zeit gestoßen. Nachdem ich zwischenzeitlich mit anderen Dingen ausgelastet war, habe ich gestern endlich den Blogbeitrag dazu abgeschlossen.

Wenn du wissen willst, was da auf der Decke abgebildet ist - oder falls dich interessiert, wer die Patentante von Elisabeth von Hessen-Kassel war (du kennst sie vermutlich sogar), dann schau hier: https://gespiele.hypotheses.org/5974

Hi, I'm scholar from Germany, part of a team working on a new Middle High German #dictionary. Apart from #German language and literature I studied Comparative #Religion, leading to a PhD thesis on Erich von Däniken and ancient astronaut #mythology.

In my spare time I dig into the #HistoryOfGames and try to catalogue German #roleplaying #fanzines.

I also enjoy time with my #choir and like baking #bread.

@gordian Not sure what a "modern" board game is, but you might like Adrian Seville's study on "The Cultural Legacy of the Royal Game of the Goose". You can download the front matter and introduction here: https://www.academia.edu/39991130/The_Cultural_Legacy_of_the_Royal_Game_of_the_Goose #GameOfTheGoose #BoardGames #GameStudies #HistoryOfGames

Short article by Alex Andriesse on @publicdomainrev, talking about how games have ingrained world views, sometimes openly propagating (or marketing) certain opinions. Some games have the players progress through history to reach whatever is considered the apex of evolution. https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/progress-in-play-board-games-and-the-meaning-of-history

Der BoardGameHistorian-Blog hat mich interviewt. Wenn ihr wissen wollt, was ich so zur #Spielforschung blogge, wie ich versuche, das an #LinkedOpenData anzuknüpfen, und welche Themen mir im Hinterkopf rumkrabbeln, dann lest:

Time for an #introduction - I just migrated here from an overcrowded server. #neuhier
I'm a German #academic (lexicography of Middle High German), #disabled , into #games and #gamestudies about the #historyofgames and #dice

My areas of interest also cover German #ttrpg #fanzines and #choir #singing (and #conducting), last but not least I care about
#democracy #climatejustice and, you know, our present and future in general.
