Today is the 220th birthday of Alexandre Dumas! 🎉

[montalais]

Today is 5th of December, and on this day in 1870, Alexandre Dumas (père) died. Let us toast to the stories we still enjoy after all these years, the anecdotes and the characters we love.

On a toujours associé la campagne  à l'amour et l'on a bien fait : rien n'encadre la femme que l'on aime  comme le ciel bleu, les senteurs, les fleurs, les brises, la solitude  resplendissante des champs ou des bois.

Approximate Route that Napoleon took from Elba to Paris in 1815:

Includes alleged newspaper article titles recounted by Alexandre Dumas.

I’ve never read any of Dumas’ books, but was he mildly obsessed with Napoleon? All the time I see stuff he wrote about him. He wrote a whole thing detailing the Paris apartment Napoleon lived in during the early 1790s. He wrote plays about him, included him in his books, and even researched newspaper titles about him.

Hello, apologies for potentially bothering you, but are you still working on that Doubtfell Dumas pdf you've mentioned in a couple posts a while back? My players in my Curse of Strahd game have just come across him (because I rolled a random encounter at the end of the session when half the players had to leave and didn't have the energy to actually roll it xD), and so I'm curious to know whether any progress has been made on that front, although I can imagine it's probably slipped your mind in the face of everything else going on in the world lately. Regardless, I would be more than happy to purchase it whenever it releases at whatever price you see fit. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, and have a lovely day. =)

You know what, fellow DM? Your players deserve nice things. I'm going to sit down as soon as I can and finish that up. I'll slap something together for it and get it up on itch.io as quickly as I'm able! Thank you for reminding me!

Ooh, thinking about Edmond Dantes as an Odysseus figure. A man is forced to leave his home and loved ones, sails home twenty years later to find his home and himself deeply changed. He tells lies to everyone on the way, be they ally or enemy. He has a great capacity for love, but he is also vengeful and takes his vengence too far at times.

I love d'Artagnan because he basically made the three guys who wanted him dead adopt him as one of their own and only a few months later they're all risking their lives for each other, a true icon

So I’ve been LOVING the new english translations of The d’Artagnan Romances (Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, Le Vicomte de Bragelonne) and while waiting for his edition of the next book in the Ten Years Later chunk I found out that he is releasing the chapters serially online RIGHT NOW! https://musketeerscycle.substack.com/p/court-of-daggers

Like you can be actively reading the story as a weekly serial the way it was originally published!!! This is such a cool flippin thing for them to be doing and I’m even more hyped than I already was!

"Los tres mosqueteros", de Alejandro Dumas

Our external existence is as a sleep, of which this thought is the dream; and, whilst we are subjected to its influence, time has no longer any measure, nor is there any distance in space: we leave one place, and arrive at another, and are conscious of nothing between.
