Sword
In all the talk we’ve had about specific swords over the years, we’ve never really talked about swords as a group of things all by themselves. So, let’s fix that this week. In this episode we talk about the history of swords, how they developed, and which ones were really important. It’s an overview of the whole things from their primitive beginnings to what we know think of when we think about swords in fantasy and gaming. And even fantasy gaming. Along the way we discover something very important about swords and discussions of them, and maybe ghet some insight into why D&D doesn’t really bother explaining much about them. You can support us on Patreon if this is the sort of thing you enjoy, and we hope it is. Find it at: https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek
