Thankyou Paul! It was a kids workshop, it went really well - they created a bestiary and wrote alliterative lines about their beasts. Children love making up riddles too, in my experience

Or he sings to time his heists like Hudson Hawk. If you've got a wacky alliterative name you gotta have a gimmick

Daggerheart CRYSTALQUEST chapter 3 begins tomorrow.

The video game has evolved with shoe-horned multiplayer elements: a BATTLE ROYALE!

The only way to escape is to break the gameplay loop. The only way to break it is to win!
A hex-shaped Battle Royale map for my Daggerheart CRYSTALQUEST campaign, featuring hexes and alliterative locales like the Hidden Hut, Trashed Temple, Ridge Redoubt and more!

Any admissions person reading this: all I’m saying though is that you’d be able to cause the alliterative Dr. Davis to happen and I think that’s neat.

To make up the numbers every solo title introduces an alliterative evil business tycoon and they all undercut, mollycoddle, and backstab each other.

Meanwhile… Batman has to go to their tacky parties because of the Wayne Tech board and shareholders. 😮‍💨

not sure how i got into this, but it's very hard for me to write haiku that don't also sound like alliterative old english laments. i don't think anyone is clamoring for that mashup

I'm afraid I don't. I'm thinking about what to do with it once I finish it, but I still have 20 stanzas to go (and I need to review the first section, which I did long ago before I understood Middle English alliterative verse as well as I do now.)

When Adam delved and Eve span… the poems of the Alliterative Revival hold lessons for those today seeking power out of narcissism, vanity or a vacuous sense of entitlement and self-enrichment. Through fear and uncertainty, the poets kept writing, carrying a torch for those oppressed in future times.
The Alliterative Revival - lessons from a time of tyranny which still hold true today
The poems of the Alliterative Revival may date from the fourteenth century but their content has much to tell us about the need for good government today - and how to avoid the tyranny of terrible lea...

Here's stanza #80 from my ongoing translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Sir Gawain prepares to ride to the Green Chapel.

Now the New Year draws near, and the night passes as light limits shadow by our Lord’s decree. But wild weather stirred in the world’s four corners. There were clouds whose keen breath fell cold on the earth, bitter-sharp and biting, a blast from the North. Flakes fell in flurries, flailing around, and the wind whistled past, whirling from the heights, drowning dale and valley under drifting snow. Gawain lingers there, listening, as he lies in bed. Though he keeps his eyes closed, he catches no rest. Each rooster-cry rouses him, for his reckoning’s due. Before daylight dawned, he dressed himself swiftly under a lamp whose light illumined his chamber. He called for his chamberlain, who was quick to answer, and asked for his saddle and his suit of mail. So the fellow went off, fetched back his things, and got him ready to ride as royalty should. First he wrapped him up warm against winter’s chill, then gave him his other gear, which had seen good care. Both his plate-mail and its padding were polished and clean; the rust rubbed from each link until his ring-mail glittered. It was as good as he first got it, Gawain must happily concede. Here and now, each piece was polished and proud indeed – the best between Britain and Greece. So he bid him bring his steed.
