Here we discuss the "sword and sorcery" tradition of fantasy literature, which includes Robert E. Howard, C.L. Moore, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock, Karl Edward Wagner, David C. Smith, Gary E. Gygax, and many more. “Sword and sorcery” emphasizes active protagonists, supernatural menaces, and preindustrial (mostly ancient and medieval) settings. Sword and sorcery continues to influence visual art, fantasy RPGs, CRPGs, film, comics, music, and much more.

Is anyone here familiar with Three Lobed Burning Eye magazine?
I'm considering adding it to the list of magazines I'll submit my short stories to. They have a pretty good payout, but give themselves 90 days to come to a decision and don't accept simultaneous submissions (as in, stories that are also being considered by other mags). My S&S stories are all about the same character, and I'm hoping to build up an audience for the full-length stories I'm also sitting on.
I haven't read anything from 3LBE. Are they a decent fit for S&S, and is the genre fandom aware of them?

I've made a free game inspired by Sword and Sorcery adventures. It's called Greydark and it plays like a short pulp story. Contrary to most RPGs nowadays, you will see no numbers, even if there is an XP system in place. It should take 15 minutes, at most, to finish. The link is in the comments.

Current Sword and Sorcery: Where do you recommend I get started?
I feel I should read more in general, and S&S in particular. I have enormous nostalgia for Conan the Barbarian, whom I first got to know through the old comics, then the old movie, and eventually the original stories themselves. But outside of that, I really don't have much experience with the genre. Who would you say are the current notable writers? Which anthologies should I check out? And what other good spaces are there for discussing the genre with fellow fans?
