Jason’s comments from the Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" group.

Phil! Your description of the Kane shorts as providing more psychological insight into Kane is spot on! I've enjoyed the 2 novels I've read thus far, but I really enjoy the shorts even more. I've selected Death Angel's Shadow for my reading delight.

I am reading Death Angel's Shadow (I've read Bloodstone & Dark Crusade. Interestingly enough and previously unknown to me, the opening short actually follows Dark Crusade, a neat point of synchronicity I must say). 5 pages in and I'm already loving me some Kane.

Suh-weeeeeeet banner sir! I'm in, making my selection today.

Hi A.R.!
Thanks for the great words about WFH - especially the formatting ;)

Fun stuff and high adventure, if I may say so :)

Sweet, congrats Jason. And is that...yes, it is - a new Normand cover! Nice :)

Phil wrote: ""Remember that time when...?" is an awesome way to kick-start an S&S story, IMO. Robert E. Howard stated that he wrote the Conan stories as if Conan were standing over him, relating anecdotes of hi..."

Love the mental image your comment created for me Phil :) And that WWII example is a pretty darn strong one.

Sweet - does sound good, and cool to hear there were enough compelling stories to immediately release 2 volumes. Not so cool my story didn't make the cut, but hey, I'm looking forward to seeing whose did.

Ah, apologies then :)

Charles, Mortlock is Bruce Durham's character.

Not that Ty is not a very good writer, but Bruce is also a very good writer :)

:) A friend at work has played it twice through to level 81 and completed the overall quest. He's also bought and done all 3 expansions. And now he just started a new character using one of the cat-people to challenge himself.

I tell him some of us have lives...yet I'm green with envy ;)

Shoot, whenever I allow myself to play it's at least an 8-hour fest/trance. I can't quit, even when I know I haven't moved in hours and I have to get up and head out the door soon.

That's why I don't allow myself to play very often. I'm only level 42 so far.

Awesome! Thanks for posting, I had missed this. I've enjoyed the Gaunt and Bone tales I've read in the past. Another good score by Lou and Pyr!

Love the write-ups Paul. Sounds like I gotta get me some Kemp, Egil, and Nix!

Thanks for linking this, very cool!

Good tale Steve. I enjoyed the full circle return to having 3 Sons...though I also enjoyed the suspense you held me in wondering if you would pull an unthinkable and have a Son renege on his oath! Glad to read another of your stories my friend!

Yes, these all were great discussions, and the ones I was a part of were also great fun. It is most enjoyable gathering with friends to discourse on a topic of mutual interest to all.

Hey, you stole my words -- but as long as a Jason says 'em all's good!

Another spectacular banner Seth!

Sweet quotes, post, and article! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks all! I have a passion for this title and can not wait to put it in people's hands. It's been a long time coming...unfortunately there seems to be yet another snafu delaying release. The printer says the black gradient of the text is inconsistent and rejected the file. A proof copy should be in my hands Monday and I will review it. I'm not sure how/why that would happen as I didn't do it intentionally, but hopefully it's a simple fix.
