Into the Greenwood
Robin Hood is one of the most ubiquitous figures in the English-speaking world. He’s been the star of countless films, television shows, books, games, and branded merchandise from baking supplies to investment apps. Whether he’s wearing a dark shrouding hood or a jaunty pointed cap, there’s a distinct image that comes to mind when you hear the name. Our mission is to dissect that image. Through interviews with academics and experts we’ll be taking a focused look on what one would actually expect of a forest-dwelling outlaw in late 12th century England. How many Merry Men could comfortably dwell within Sherwood Forest? How extensive was the authority of a local Sheriff? Would those tights of Lincoln green be comfortable to wear? You know, the important stuff. Interview episodes will be interspersed with episodes delving into our pop-culture portrayals as we take a chronological look at Robin Hood’s extensive filmography one movie at a time. So string your bows, prepare a lusty laugh, and come join us in the greenwood. Support: patreon.com/intogreenwood o buymeacoffee.com/intogreenwood

George Bickers of Three Sails Studios joins us in the Greenwood to discuss the self-described "love letter to his working class rage" that is the new ttrpg Gallows Corner.
Along the way we also discuss the company's first game, the award-winning Mappa Mundi, and their underlying connective philosophy relating to how the purposeful manufacturing of space can let us create the worlds that we want for our future.
