We'll be posting papers all this week for our fifth Middle Ages in Modern Games Conference: these will be available on our website (kindly hosted by @Exilian) at https://middleagesinmoderngames.net/

In previous years MAMG was based on Twitter, though you can read past papers as edited collections: as of this year we've moved off X to our own website, and we'll signal-boost those papers over numerous platforms. We encourage and welcome folks to go to our site and comment on any and all papers of interest!

Right, with couple of toots already out it's time for an !

We're the Middle Ages in Modern Games conference: we're a small independently run annual event that specialises in short-form, written papers on how medievalisms and medieval societies are used in modern games and gaming.

If that sounds good, do follow us and read along as we post links to our papers! Boosts on this welcome so we can find interested people.
