The Maniculum Podcast
Maniculum: little hand, pointing finger; often found in manuscript marginalia. Hi! We’re Mac and Zoe, a professional medievalist and triple AAA game developer, and together, we use modern game design techniques to uncover the origins of your favorite tropes and adventures from medieval manuscripts. In each episode, we explore a new medieval manuscript, its connections to modern TTRPGs, and teach you how to adapt these tales into compelling campaigns and amazing adventures. Whether you’re looking to recreate the noble Arthurian tales or incorporate weird and wacky medieval monsters into your campaign, the Maniculum Podcast has you covered.
Loving this podcast

I came to this show via Zoe being interviewed on The Dungeoncast. Its a phenomenal amount of useable content to put in front of players or to use as character points when i’m on the otherside of the dm’s screen. Definitely going to be making some homebrew tweaks to magic systems in my games based on this stuff.
Wonderful!

I absolutely adore this podcast! I’ve listened to the first 50 or so episodes in a little over a week and love how much I’ve learned. Zoe and Mac do such a great job explaining the stores and I love all of the little tangents!
Too political

Politics seems almost inescapable these days. If you want to take a break from politics, this is not the podcast for you. If you like virtue signaling and are a big fan of elitist echo chambers, then you’ve come to the right place.
Hysterical!

Deeply entertaining. This podcast both makes me want to read more medieval texts AND makes me nostalgic for my D&D days.
