You voted for it, and it's here! A History-Makers of everybody's favorite bard: Shakespeare. As I hope you can tell, this video was a blast to make.

Quick peek behind the proverbial curtain, the way I'm planning my videos nowadays is in a 2-1-1 format, with two History Summarized alternating with a History-Makers and one History Hijinks (H-Sum, H-Makers, H-Sum, H-Hijinks, repeat). This is basically like Red's schedule of alternating Trope Talks and Myths/legends. So the end result is effectively one History Summarized per month, and HistoryMakers and History Hijinks are each every other month. That means Confucius, the next patreon-voted HistoryMaker, is going up in June. I recognize this explanation might be a little confusing, but I wanted to give you all an idea of how we space out our content, so you can always have an idea of what's coming next!

Next up from me is a deep dive into Japan's Meiji Restoration!

History-Makers: Shakespeare

"The Bard" is not only an essential class in any D&D party, but a byword for England's most famous writer. We've covered a bit of Shakespeare before on OSP — just a bit, really, nothing major, only a dozen — but today we'll look at how William got to Bard-ing, and how he accidentally became England's biggest Historian.
