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

@ Joy
Getting old?

Seriously though, people want way too much for some of these used. Why is that?

Samurai Cat Goes to Hell

I'm down.

Why is issue 2 of the Magicians Skull not available on Amazon? Am I overlooking it?

Andre Norton liked to incorporate cats into her books.

He-man rode Cringer. Cringer was a big cat until he became Battle Cat. He-man was Sword & Planet/Sword and Sorcery.

Not sure if this helps or harms... :/

Thank you.

Is it still available to watch? I looked but didn’t immediately see it...

The Dark Crystal

Cannot recommend it. I expected it to have more in-depth scenes, and they were present, but not in the quantity I wished. I get the same experience whether I read the book or watch the movie; and the movie doesn't take quite as long to enjoy.

Lol, more spice I guess.

@Jack
You’re right. As an adult I have a hard time watching either. But watching Willow with my grade school kid was a treat b/c for him it was a great adventure(aside from the kissing, lol). I think a lot of people love both movies b/c they watched them as children. Now they are ‘beloved’ movies from the past. And your place among us is safe; differing opinions spice the discussion.

@Seth

I watched the first two episodes and haven’t gotten back around to it. I don’t watch a lot of TV...

I think I'm gonna join in now with:



The Dark Crystal

Anyone ever read this one:

The Treasure of Atlantis

This is a pretty interesting series I’ve been trying to collect. I don’t see them often out in the wild.

Has anyone ever read

Atlantis: Isaac Asimov's Magical World's of Fantasy #9

A new collection of Schuyler Hernstrom's shortstories will be available May 4th. Most of the stories were printed in Cirsova magazine but a few have never been printed before. I have read several of these stories before, and I strongly feel like it would appeal to this august group. The cover alone makes me want to say, "Shut up, and take my money."

Very tempting. Thanks for sharing Joseph!

Welcome!

@Stewart The Wellman book is pretty awesome. Although the final Kardios story was published in DMR’s Renegade Swords.

Peter Fugazzotto’s novella Skin comes to mind. Or Tanith Lee’s Companions on the Road.

Just Blade of Tyshalle. A modern vaccinated disease gets released in a alternate world where magic works. And it’s done to clear the way to rape the world of its natural resources. Surely I’m not the only one in the group who has read this...?
