Can't wait for Laird's eventual 'antiquity' collection too.

I can't find anything on Audible and I'm not having much luck anywhere else. Doesn't matter if it's official or fan made or whatever. I just want to listen to the red-headed maniac while I work

How do you like your gods in S&S? Is there any variety of how gods work in genre?

I get that they're meant to lean more towards Lovecraft's Elder Gods - super powerful beings who don't really give a hoot about humanity, rather than towards the super active and personable gods we see in a typical D&D campaign... but what about somewhere in the middle?

I'm thinking of the gods we see in Dark Souls - super powerful beings that are tied to the world, but actively use and mess with humanity for their own ends.

Cheers for any discussion or insights!

In High School(70’s) I picked a “Dax The Damed” S&S comic then lost it in a move I haven’t seen it since. The story appealed due to the epically unlucky main character’s (mis) adventures. Any of you folks remember this comic? Can you give me any leads where to locate.

I first read these books in the late 80s and just re-read the first six. Now this one. The chronology of this series is famously confusing. And this book, at one time considered the seventh book as the cover says, is all about confusing chronology!

Anyone else read this one yet? The first half (Emerald Lotus) has my favorite Conan villain ever - and my favorite death.

Do you prefer your S&S worlds to only have humans, or do you like it when there are other fantasy races involved?

Either way, what do you think the strengths and weaknesses of each set-up are?

(Yes, I’m fleshing out my own S&S setting atm)

Cheers!

Hi everyone!

Hope it’s okay to post here, but my indie movie is released on tubi, vudu and Vimeo. Here’s the trailer if you’d like to check it out?

It was made by my wife and I on a super small budget, but we poured everything we had into the story and since we live in Germany, we made the most of our location scouting and crammed in as many period authentic locations as possible. We even have two towers and a village!

It’s about a knight and a priest investigating a masked cult. Enjoy!

A question for the authors (and readers, why not) here - how do you go about writing a full length Sword & Sorcery novel?

If the genre leans more towards a shorter form, and dives into the action relatively quickly - how does that translate to a 60k word novel?

Cheers for any input!

Edit: If you could recommend any 60,000(ish) words S&S novels, that’d be a great help as well!

Really inspired by “the Crimson Citadel” for this one” my favorite Conan story
