Episode #1 : History and Role-playing Games with Jon Hodgson (Beowulf: Age of Heroes) and Davide Mana (Brancalonia: The Spaghetti Fantasy Role-Playing Game) - History and Games Lab Podcast

Although there are very few purely historical role-playing games, history still plays an important part in their design. In this episode, hosts James Holloway and Gianluca Raccagni spoke with Jon Hodgson of Handiwork Games and Davide Mana of Acheron Books about their work on upcoming historically-inspired role-playing projects: Handiwork's Beowulf: Age of Heroes and Acheron's Brancalonia: The Spaghetti Fantasy RPG. Both games are now successfully funded on Kickstarter.
