Absolutely! Every illustration was bursting with real-life vibrancy, and I was particularly taken by the image on p.45 of all the different people across the region showing the variability and individual intrigue. I'm so glad to see a game that proudly shows off all the color we know was there!

Of course, I was most taken by the little guy in one illustration noting how the Firth of Forth isn't really a barrier and his cousins on the southern side speak Pictish too, but every single bit was stunning.
Might have to set up a few digital one-shots to share the love!

Yeah! I remember similar moves by students in my undergrad - plagiarism for quick essays, or essay mills or sharing. This is just a way less verifiable tool that makes it radically more easy, but it's serving a market that has existed for a while...

Until we fix that, AI is not going away here.

I'll be briefly presenting in the New Research Forum tomorrow morning on my (relatively) recent dissertation turn towards the environment as a key component of early medieval landscape research around the firths.
