Fun way to begin my 2024 reading!
All 3 stories are a hoot!
Shelnutt's duo are cleverly delivered in a fun-filled escapade!
Gomez introduces a delightful gentleman of derring-do in a dark mystery!
Wilson gives us a terrific battle featuring a promising warrior versus foes deadly and dastardly.
Well done y'all! Thank you SRM!

Three More
Three more stories in the more traditional sword and sorcery genre.
The first story is centered around a thief and a barbarian, their uneasy friendship, and their adventures.
The second story centers around two individuals, without giving anything away, that needs to be read, enjoy.
The third story has a return of an individual named Brock, whom appeared previously in this mag, facing down a creature that will immediately bring to mind a Basilisk.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Savage Realms returns with a spectacular April issue. This issue features new stories by Jeff Shelnutt, Matthew Gomez, and the return of Chad Wilson.
The Spider's Eyes by Jeff Shelnett
A disparate pair of rogues attempt to assail the same temple and relieve it of its worldly goods. Neither is completely prepared to undertake this venture alone, and neither is happy to see the other. With much banter they forge a tenuous working agreement. What could go wrong?
This duo reminded me of a certain pair from Lankhmar. Classic.
A Gentleman of Blades by Matthew Gomez
"He had grown up in this city, spent his life here and knew it like his own face in the mirror – always changing, and not always for the better, but the shape familiar."
An old business associate comes seeking help. You see, Reynauld is in the business of favors. The daughter of this associate has been kidnapped. Reynauld decides to handle this personally. Tearing the city's underworld apart, Reynauld soon learns this problem runs deeper than the abduction of a single girl.
Reynauld is a consummate professional, and very dangerous to cross. It just became personal.
Stone Figures by Chad A.B. Wilson
Brock returns. He arrives by boat to a village that has been under attack. No one has seen the assailant and lived. As he investigates, he discovers life-like statues littering the village. Learning the identity of the assailant is only the beginning of his problems.
Wilson also has a story of Brock in Savage Realms May 2021 issue. He has also published Brock stories elsewhere; enough that an eventual collection wouldn't be ruled out.
Remember that Savage Realms keeps the door open for submissions year-round and that fans sometimes make the best authors. Who better than someone who loves the medium? I cannot wait to read your story within these pages.

A mix of good and okay, not the best of the series of magazines so far, but it had a couple of good songs. Two of them were really truncated and the last one didn't have much of a fantasy feel to it despite being a fight between soldiers and what apparently are cockatrices of some sort. The first story was very good though.
