Quotes From An Upcoming Project

We're working on a little project based on late-Medieval and Renaissance writings.

Some choice quotes:

  • "Make ready the ballistas, catapults, and other such warlike engines"
  • "A true rogue makes a filth-tart of garlic, assafoetida, castoreum, dogs' turds, and pus, to anoint a meeting-place in such sort that the devil could not have endured it"
  • "Thigh-bones squattered all to pieces"
  • "An Apology From Those Who Alleged That the High Priest's Mule Doth Eat But at Set Times"
  • "Sixteen otters' skins for the gloves, and three skins of the loupgarous, or men-eating wolves, for their bordering"
  • "Forerunner of baboons"
  • "Offer the sailors a shave and a little bloodletting"
  • "Couple three foxes in yoke, plough the sea-shore, and grow wheat"
  • "Apply fish roe to the patient's body"

Look for it coming up later this month at Periapt Games!
