Still, I love #CallOfCthulhu , and I am always up for more interesting historical setting. Plus, the "default region" is ancient Germania, so I might actually use some of my German #folklore research for this...

#Germany #folktale #folklore

Vaesen is a game that should be right up my alley, considering it's a #ttrpg based on European #folklore and set in the 19th century - i.e. the topic and time I am studying myself.

Alas, so far I have been unable to find the time to actually read it. But hey - if anyone wants to write a Germany sourcebook for it, I am available as an expert consultant. 😉

I have translated and released the tale "Der Schwarzkünster"/"The Practitioner of the Black Arts" from this book on my Patreon:

#Germany #folktale #folklore

I'm constantly reading through old, German-language folk tale collections in the public domain for my #folklore translation work, and this is the volume I am reading now - the first volume of a massive three-book collection on the folk tales of #Silesia.
