Picked up the volumes in a recent bundle but struggle with reading PDFs too... luckily I'm off to France in September so may order some in advance to read over bread, cheese and tiny bottles of 1664.

It's for my own record keeping, but might be of interest. #grogsquad

Don't so much need a system (plenty around to choose from), would like a culture sourcebook, collating it together, to delve into. Maybe a project for a I M Banks fan who has plenty of time on their hands! (which is def not me 😆).

Sadly no @embraboffin.bsky.social, who's preparing for his own doomed Germanic adventure in the service of the Scottish football team.
