Is Cao Cao a hero, an antihero, or a villain? #ThreeKingdoms

A very underrated military tactic. #ThreeKingdoms

The great @DZhou3kingdoms takes us on a journey through #ThreeKingdoms era #China, and explains how powerful rivals were, and why it was so hard for others to band together in the face of fighting. @histodons

I've also used the chance to get a 4 volume set of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhuge Liang. There’s a traditional story from the #ThreeKingdoms period about the strategist #ZhugeLiang hearing of a rival army approaching a fortress he didn’t have enough troops to defend, so he ordered most of his army to retreat, the city gates to be opened, and went outside and played chess. A scout reported what was happening, and the commander called the battle off, believing it to be an ambush, because the great strategist would never allow himself to be caught off guard. #MastoArt

I had shelved this project indefinitely because, though I think there are a LOT of interesting things to examine about later Han frugality (aka political posturing during a time when food was scarce), what I really wanted to do was compare the translations... and now I can! 😋🍚

A three kingdoms Rpg Kickstarter caught my eye because the setting is one of my favorites. The fine print (written on a picture so hard to even spot on mobile) says all art is Artificial Plagiarism.

Which is why it all looks like it was ripped out of Dynasty Warriors.

I couldn’t stop laughing when their innovative new Rpg mechanic was that all dice explode.

Couldn’t bother to read further.

🤮

#RomanceoftheThreeKingdoms nerds will be like "Fanfic sucks, I hate it and everyone who reads it"

My friend, what do you think The *Romance* of the Three Kingdoms IS exactly? 😂

In related news, if you haven't read The Halberd at Red Cliff by Xiaofei Tian please do, if you're at all interested in #ThreeKingdoms it'll be a great gift to yourself.

Who else gained a new appreciation for the #threekingdoms period this year?

(I'm obsessed with Zhuge Liang courtesy name Kongming and need to know other ya boy fans exist)
