Proinsias Mac Cana was the professor at the time, so he put together a couple of phrases in Old Irish, which is why ostensibly Brythonic/proto-Welsh characters are speaking Irish.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Excalibur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Excalibur</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CelticStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CelticStudies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OldIrish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldIrish</span></a></p>

Jeff<p>Looks like I'm running a backup game for our <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Masks</span></a> group. The players are okay with another <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MasksANewGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MasksANewGeneration</span></a> game but with a lighter tone. I'm thinking about a mix of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QuantumLeap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuantumLeap</span></a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sliders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sliders</span></a>, and the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CrossTimeCaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossTimeCaper</span></a> run of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Excalibur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Excalibur</span></a>, one of the series that really got me into collecting comics. </p><p>The overall idea will be a team of heroes who are forced to hop through different dimensions, probably heavily influenced by movies, TV shows, or books that I'm into. Everyone seems to want something lighter in tone and I can certainly do that for them!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GMLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GMLife</span></a></p>
