Equality. In my little world, the oldest recognised child inherits title and land. If, by some random events, someone would inherit more than one title, the next generation with more than one eligible heir would divide the titles among them, the eldermost child taking the most prestigious title/richest holding.

Henke is a bit of a legend, true. Almost as good as Ibrahimovich and much more personable! When he went from Celtic to Barca in '04, the two clubs met in the Champions League, the game played in Glasgow. Larsson scored on his old club -- and refused to celebrate. Class act.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Less hate for a dessert you probably have never tried.  There are a lot of scandi-snacks that I might point at that are, health-wise, as questionable as the modern classic you are trying to denigrate.

Deep-fried Mars bars aside, the Scots are alright.

The Scandinavian elites of the 12th century had given up plundering and pillaging abroad for using the Christian ideology to increase their domestic influence and power. Early medieval Sweden was still an elective monarchy, and civil war between competing magnates over the crown was almost a yearly occurrence. Our national patron Saint, Saint Erik, was a king who bit it in one of these struggles. He started a crusade against the Finns and was murdered in a church, they say, so he must've been very holy, even if he ended up more holey.
 
Not that the coalescing kingdoms didn't engage in a little light conquest -- the Danes tried for Balticum, while Sweden managed to snag Finland.

Their believing that doesn't make sense... but this is MAGA, so when do they ever.
 
But I'll bet the opposite way. MAGAts may be fired up, but they're a fraction of conservatives. Trump doesn't work up the majority of Republicans the way he used to. Many of those who bought the "rigged election" line when Trump was president, have no reason to believe it'll be different with Biden in the White House. And that's just Republicans. Trump can't win with just them, he needs moderates and independents, and he's done everything to alienate them. That isn't even considering the impact of his many trials.
 
I absolutely agree that Democrats can't let up. They have to get out the vote. They have to challenge Republican hypocrisy, ineffectiveness, and corruption at every turn. They have to trumpet all that the Biden administration has accomplished. But I'm betting that Trump has doomed the GOP.
 
I guess we'll see who's right. 🤞

Early Medieval Sweden, around the conversion to Christianity, with a dash of the Karolingian Empire without their bloody stupid inheritance laws.

Epic boots.

... Quitter.

Earlier today I was watching a video comparing hex tiles and square tiles in board games. Since both types build landscapes with either hexes (ex. Archipelago) or squares (ex. Carcassonne), I got this idea:
 
1. Play the board games.
2. Take photos of the completed boards after the games.
3. Integrate the photos into your homebrew rpg campaign.

Faster than expected. 
 

I have no idea if I ever posted these before, but anyways, enjoy!
