Last night while checking to see if a BBC history featuring a mate of mine had come out yet (it hasn't; boo), I discovered that there's a new book about subroman Britain and for approx. the 476th time I disappeared down a dark age rabbit hole, listening to interviews with the author, Nick Higham...

The extent to which subroman elites of the former Western Empire crashed civilization for the tax cuts is actually kinda fun to think about right now

Yes, Nazis can always stop being Nazis.
Jews are who they are, which is an infinite possibility of things other than being of Jewish ancestry.
Now, I admit to some bias against those of Visigothic ancestry, but given the fall of Rome, the wasting of subRoman Gaul, the inquisition, and the Shoah ...

Our Curator Andy headed over to CSI: Sittingbourne today to collect more of the collected #ozengell collection which has finished conservation treatment!

This books makes mention of the Picts, Saxons, and Romans, but the Irish, who were definitely conducting slave raids and whatnot into Britain, during the subroman period get off scot free. Or should I say scotii-free heheheh

things i want to do after GRIST

- a space-travel time-debt game (grist was, but i had the gameplay wrong)

- space harrier with a melee combat system, level replay, and classic pseudo-3d sprite scaling maps

- subroman dungeon crawl starring a giant worm

- tarot thing??

- finish starry void ...

That can be communist revolution, fascism, or blowing stuff up with no agenda.
That's what the test of the last 150 years showed us.
And it's bolstered by the subroman period and perhaps what happened post bronze age collapse.

My favorite contrast is archaeology. Their reports will be something like “Regional survey of assemblages from subaltern inhumations in Subroman Somerset” but the newspaper headlines (especially during funding season) all scream: “Have archaeologists uncovered King Arthur and his Round Table?” 😱

Revenge of the Kingdom of Strathclyde.
Those islands haven't been this disorganized since the SubRoman period.
Next, Scots will take up piracy again.

Well, no.
The easterlings from the Celtic-subroman perspective are Anglo-Saxons.
The southrons are the Franks.
Mordor is Rome, and the earthly corruption of The Church.

When writing my own adaptation of subroman Briton, I imagined Brian Blessed every time I needed to dialogue the character that inherited his command from his Roman father.

If you want to go out of the box:

Anthony Stark is a squire living in subRoman Britain when Doctor Doom falls out of the sky in a flash of lightning, his armor's circuitry largely fried. Tony becomes Doom's apprentice during the medieval fish-out-of-water adventure, and Doom leaves him with his own

the political structure of the subroman client state of the Herodians, which it opposed and sought to gather support against both within Rome and ultimately in opposition to the roman occupation when the priests were outmaneuvered by Herod and his successors. All of this adds up to a “christianity”…
