With #witcher4 on the horizon, now’s the perfect time to revisit Witcher III, but try it with Polish voiceover. It’s a very different, and maybe better, experience. Language shapes the story. That’s why Tales from the Mabinogion is fully voiced in Welsh. youtube.com/watch?v=bB_T7v…

#wyrdwednesday Ever wondered what might happen if a group of writers deliberately gorged on Welsh Rarebit before bed, just to test the theory that it causes nightmares, and then recorded the fevered dreams that followed? Wonder no more. Welsh Rarebit Tales is the unholy result of

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! middleagesinmoderngames.net/mamg25/playing…

I'll be online answering questions for the rest of the day, so please do come by and join the discussion!

#MythologyMonday Manawydan fab Llŷr is the Welsh cognate of the Irish sea god, Manannán mac Lir. However, although they share linguistic roots and mythic ancestry, their roles diverage sharply across the two traditions. Notably, Manawydan is mortal, in contrast to Manannán's role

#LegendaryWednesday Two warriors. One blow. One shot at peace. In the First Branch of the Mabinogi, Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, is given a single strike to slay Hafgan, rival Lord of the Otherworld. With perfect martial skill and discipline, Pwyll delivers the blow... No second

#FolkloreSunday Summer arrives, the trees stand in their full glory, what better time to revisit Taliesin’s famous poem Cad Goddeu, the Battle of the Trees? This treatment by Mark Wigan is lovely, though sadly the printed edition seems to be no longer available.

In Welsh folklore, when the fairy armies of the Otherworld invaded northern Wales, the wizard Gwydion used his magic to animate a forest, every tree from oak to birch to primrose. They fought the fairies and their monster allies in the Battle of the Trees. #MythologyMonday

There are many, both in and out of Wales, but I always come to the same place when I asked this question... Castell Conwy. There's something about it's massive walls and mighty towers that just feels the way a medieval castle is supposed to!

Indeed, we do!

#LegendaryWednesday It was on the shores of Harlech, where this castle now stands, that the giant king of Britain, Bendigeidfran, first saw the approaching Irish fleet. The great king was of such stature that he had no need of a vessel himself, wading out in to the water

#FairyTaleTuesday Another post about Blodeuwedd, the woman magically crafted from flowers, who ends her days transformed into an owl? What can I say, it's Summer time, the flowers are in full bloom, and there's no more apt tale! Look beneath the petals, though, and you'll see

#Legendarywednesday The Pair Dadeni - the Cauldron of Rebirth - was a gift to the Irish from High King Bendigeidfran. Little did he know that they would use it to reanimate an army of silent, undead warriors, in a devastating war that would leave only a dozen survivors.

Fantastic castles, fantastic scenery!

#FolkloreSunday While all know the stories of King Arthur, few remember the tales of his faithful hound, Cafall. In the hunt for the great boars Twrch Trwyth and Ysgithyrwyn, Cafall led the pack, fearlessly cornering the beasts. Legend has is it that the paw print of Cafall can
