[ID: A digital drawing of Melancholy from Pen & Sword, post-transformation. She is in profile, facing one side of the screen with her shadow mirrored behind her. Mel is a tiefling with gray skin, white hair, and black eyes. The shading in the piece is harsh blocks of black, like chiaroscuro, fading Mel into the black of her shadow-double.]

What is Pen & Sword? Pen & Sword is an Extremely Professional D&D Actual Play Show using 5th Edition D&D. Campaign 0 is set in the world of Exandria in 837PD. Why "Campaign 0"? The recorded episodes of our campaign began with the PCs at level 11. This campaign could include large, world-changing events, so we decided to film the late game of our campaign to document these events. As it is not a full campaign and it may alter the world we plan on continuing with, "zero" felt apt! How do I watch Pen & Sword? We have a handy recap video that goes over the events of our Campaign 0 party pre-recording! It can be watched here if you are interested, though it is not entirely necessary. (Please note that the recap includes spoilers for Critical Role's "Call of the Netherdeep" adventure module.) Episode 1 can be found here, and all subsequent episodes can be found on Pen & Sword's YouTube channel. Episodes premiere live on Twitch (most) Mondays at 6:30pm ET and are uploaded to YouTube 24 hours later.

‘Tudor Feminists: Ten Renaissance Women Ahead of Their Time’ by Rebecca Wilson

Genre: Adult Non-Fiction – History Published: 2024 Format: Hardback Rating: ★★★ I enjoyed this book – it was good to learn more about some of the people I knew less about like Arbella Stuart, Grainne O’Malley, and Aemilia Lanier. I had only heard of Lanier in passing, knew she was a poet, and O’Malley I largely knew about through Greg Jenner’s excellent episode on her on his ‘You’re Dead to…

Holding Hands (And Making Friends)

Summary:

Hikaku has fought with the Senju all his life.

(He doesn't know them as well as he thinks.)

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Fandom: Naruto Relationship: Senju Tobirama/Uchiha Hikaku Word Count: 805 (Complete)

Entry for @tbrmweek​

Day 4 - February 16: details | pen and sword | robes

This story was very much inspired by the artwork on Tobirama's secret Naruto Kayou Card.

Hikaku holds out his hand, lowering his defences before a clan who were his enemies a moment ago.

The example set by Madara-sama and Hashirama-sama is one they are all bound to follow, but it feels strange to offer a gesture of trust to someone who he was previously determined to disembowel.

Tōka-san looks vastly amused at his predicament but she takes his hand anyway.

There's no poison on her skin, no hesitance in her grip, nor does she attempt to crush his fingers, but he still feels like he's escaped a trap when she lets him go. Kunoichi are always to be respected, but Tōka-san is fearsome even for one of her kind and Hikaku has felt the bite of her naginata more than once.

She turns her cheek, grinning as she shows off the scar on her jaw from his kunai, and he smiles ruefully.

Well, they are all shinobi here, it is true.

Read the rest on AO3.

REVIEW: Revolting Recipes From History (2023)

A Book by Seren Charrington-Hollins In our modern era, most people in developed countries can take a trip to the grocery store with a reasonable amount of comfort in knowing that they will likely not be made sick by whatever they purchase. Even with the advent of processed foods and manufactured snacks, it is very rare that a food safety recall happens at any given time. This peace of mind was…

Book Review: The Real Bridgerton by Catherine Curzon

If you think the tv series Bridgerton is scandalous, you underestimate the upper classes of the eighteenth century. Catherine Curzon has taken the most outrageous happenings and placed them in a collection, each verified by historical evidence, it is a well-written account of the era. However, I found the repetitive nature of the scandals wearying. It gives little away to say the vast majority…

Genre: History First Published: 2021 Format: Hardback Publisher: Pen and Sword Series: N/A Rating: ★★★★★ I absolutely loved this book. I have always been very interested in the history of the monarchy and believe it is an essential part of England’s history and an important part of the future as well.
