I find myself thinking of the Hawks & #Lawplay sessions I ran over the summer (and am writing up), so to this list I therefore add:
#LangobardRPG: oh, that's exactly what this scenario is about... You've acquired a raptor, but, there _might_ (😉) be legal implications about how and where you got it

My TTRPG prep for this week:
D&D: One of your players wants a bird? Here's several different bird stat blocks to choose from.
MÖRK BORG: One of your players wants a bird? Sure, hopefully the player gets attached to them before they die miserably.
13 Omens: The bird is a ghost.

Thought I'd slid through the door at the last second for this year's #MAMG - then saw there's still the weekend!
I'll (hopefully) talk about "From 'Docufictions' to 'Lawplay': On Speculative Engagement with Early Medieval Law". Because, of course, what else?...😉

Just realised while I have run 4 sessions of this #LangobardRPG scenario over the last two weeks - all incredibly enjoyable! - I didn't take a single selfie of the respective groups... Oops!
Also, we only got into the very start of part .II. twice, but hey. Most importantly, there were shenanigans!

For those interested in the #LangobardRPG session, here's a snippit of introductory text that I'm preparing for the scenario-as-written.
It's written to be a bit 'GM facing' -but maybe that's just good for managing expectations

![Hawking and Lawplay
Motivation
To be able to hunt with a raptor, you must first have one. While there are numerous permitted means of acquiring a hunting bird in the early middle ages, there are likewise many illicit ways. And these means can surely result in accusations and the pursuit of justice through the emnity of the faida [feud] and recourse to the law. For this one to two session scenario, each player character should be suitably motivated towards the acquisition and ownership of a raptor—typically a goshawk, else a sparrowhawk or peregrine falcon—whether they want it to hunt with themselves (for prestige or to fill the cooking pot), to gift it to another in the hopes of gaining favour, or else to maliciously prevent another from owning it and deprive them of the benefits it would have bestowed!
Scenario
The scenario should typically be split into two main parts, with the referee making at least one or two significant opportunities throughout, in which the player characters get to fly their birds.
The first part focuses on the .I. Acquisition of raptors by the player characters, and growing Suspicison as to who perpetrators likely are when illicit means have been employed. And with the referee (and ruleset) facilitating the onset and escalation of legal troubles, there should hopefully be many grounds for pointing blame and levelling accusations with relevant legal officials. By the end of this section, at least one of the characters (hopefully more, if not all) should be directly embroiled in one or more .II. Causae [law suits]. In the second part of the scenario, then, the player characters develop their role as the accusers, or the accused—depending on the nature of the shenanigans that occured previously. But, if all goes well (from the perspective of the troupe!), the dispute will have erupted between the collected characters, and the players will end up portraying both sides as the events unfurl.
If the acquisition scenario somehow passes witho…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fsevh2wqcophqnuqajfdvboy/bafkreicmrtqlb5sh3r3p3miie4vx3cwupfpxmouqo73pfzknxbvkw23mzu)

Just ran a work-in-progress play test of the "Hawking & Lawplay" one shot scenario I've been working on for my early #medievalsky set #TTRPG (the #LangobardRPG) with work friends
Seems like everyone enjoyed themselves, and got invested in the legal content and intrigue, as well as the story

I'm absolutely in favour of this (as a GM it's what i keep my stash of the good XP for)
For #LangobardRPG i've brought it into the mechanics, so that by talking about how what you're trying resonates with your motivations (basically feelings) affects the chances of success when the dice clatter

1. Speak about your characters feelings, often.
Even the secret ones that should probably stay in your character’s head. This gives other players something to react to!

And, last but not least, very slowly preparing a TTRPG based on the Lombard laws, that is more in my head than written down, but which I do enjoy play testing every now and then... #LangobardRPG, in which players investigate (or commit!) crimes in Lombard Italy in the second half of the 7th century.

Why is it easier to work out mechanics for this TTRPG when posting them as (sarcastic?) posts about why the idea doesn't/shouldn't work, than it is to just write them in a document 😉
Incidentally, I think I've fixed the problem with the mechanics for conspiracies in #LangobardRPG 🤣

Just to add, the difficulty modifier also equals sum of d10 rolled against, so a group of five conspirators would be +4d10¹ to the lead conspirator's skill roll, but +8d10 to the difficulty they had to beat... While six conspirators would be +5d10 to skill, and +13d10 to difficulty.

Love the evolution of a chapter idea in the "writing-as-research" phase. This week, the chapter has shifted from:
1. Magical practices across the Lombard laws, and how to adapt them for TTRPG
2. Focus only on laws on arioli [soothsayers]
3. Laws on arioli as case study for design of #LangobardRPG

Well, that sounds fantastic, and depending on the when (because, geography), I'm theoretically interested in hopping over to join in. And will happily talk about medieval studies and TTRPGs, the ongoing process of turning the Lombard laws into a TTRPG and/or run a play test of my #LangobardRPG :)
