    I’ve never been drawn to games like Mörk Borg, but your adventure was a wonderfully grotesque delight! Loved it and Really fantastic to see another actual play show that isn’t just d&d. Would you accept game submissions/donations from indie ttrpg designers, and if so how could they be sent in?

Can't wait to see what the next game will be.

    Remember that the German aristocracy had a practice called Mensuren where they would do fencing standing from point blank range where it was illegal for one to dodge. All attacks were aimed at the face as well, and it was seen as an act of courage to take a razor-sharp rapier to the face. That's why so many 19th century to WWII German officers had scars all over their face. So the duke would just come off as a badass 100 years ago.
