What? It still happens! We’ve finished sickle and peasant staff, so I’ve cleaned those up and uploaded our translation and interpretations: SICHELFECHTEN! aka Sickle fight, but it always sounds more brutal in German: Fuste Agresti aka Peasant Staff. Sadly, I don’t have the German for it, but the bit where you implode Patiente’s face sort of […]

Thoughts on the Peerage Announcement and the Reaction Thereto 5 comments
