Druide? Magier? Lehrer? Barde? Zur Merlinrezeption in analogen Spielen

Abstract

Hardly any other character from Arthurian legend has achieved such popularity as Merlin. Merlin is therefore present in almost every modern adaptation. Each medium deals with the existing material and characters in its own way. This essay explores how the character of Merlin, in whom the fantastic elements of the Arthurian legend are combined and concentrated, is portrayed and utilised in modern analogue games.
