  2. JSF is still doing lore videos (although more podcast-like and somewhat less structured) at Sinclair Lore channel.

  3. Excellent resources, thank you!

    Also, in regards to the "Roman calendar horrorshow" it is on the up and up for the most part: I'm more of the opinion that Januarius and Februarius were always necessary to end the year [hence Janus, one of the oldest and original gods of Rome] and Feburarius was needed to hold the festival to begin the year and so neither were really considered part of the year until later Censors, but that's historical quibbling and opinion rather than a criticism of the facts presented.
