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

I'm not on here much, but if you're working on medievalism or games, you're going to want to take a look at this keynote paper on @MabinogionGame over at the @MidAgesModGames conference.

[Tales from the Mabinogion @MabinogionGame]

My keynote for the Middle Ages in Modern Games conference is here! I talk about why I'm making a game about Welsh mythology in the Welsh language, and the importance of language and culture in video games. There's also some new footage from the game!

I will stop plugging this eventually, but Boydell currently have a hardback sale on with code BB060, and this includes The Middle Ages in Computer Games. If you want a physical copy, this makes the price more reasonable.
