It's release day! The Middle Ages in Computer Games is out now, addressing topics including grotesque violence, playing with the Dark Ages, misplaced moralities, and engagements with race, gender and sexuality. There's a 35% discount at Boydell and Brewer with code BB135.

My book, The Middle Ages in Computer Games, is out on 5 November. It's almost certainly the most extensive consideration of the theme to date touching on games from Age of Conan to Zork. The digital version is £20 and you can get a 35% discount with code BB35 @boydellbrewer

Most people seem to have already done this, especially recently, but a reminder that if you want to keep up with what I'm up to, what I'm working on etc, the best place to do that these days is Bluesky rather than here!

OK press/content creator/influencer types, my game comes out in 2 weeks and I want people to know about it! Would you like a review copy? An interview? A bribe? A fool to taunt cruelly on your podcast? I am your little dancing monkey for the next fortnight and my DM's are open...

One of my former students is adapting and directing a play. If you'd like to see a young team put a feminist spin on Antony and Cleopatra, take a look! And look out for the show in Wellington in December! boosted.org.nz/embeded-share/…

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m moving to Glasgow in January for a one-year research stay at the UoG and am looking for an affordable flat share - preferably not too far away from campus. If you know someone who knows someone … or if you could share this I’d be forever grateful!! 🙏🏼💙 Thanks xxx

Just a reminder that this Pakistan team haven't been paid for four months - that's not okay.
