Sometimes I find myself contemplating what my life would have looked like in another era. The glitz and glamor of the 1920s, the innovative years of the Enlightenment; as a historian by trade, it's something I ponder far too frequently (but I'm a modern historian, so no dreaming of the Roman Empire). Having recently replayed Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, however, I've found myself falling down a medieval hole, contemplating what the world would have looked like as your average, working citizen. Enter Bladesong, a simulation game that tasks you with creating unique, fantastical swords that look absolutely beautiful. Man, life could have been so different.
