Sword and Sorcery Books

If you haven't read any of the old #Conan books then you are really missing out on some foundational Sword and Sorcery stories written by Robert E. Howard. #swordandsorcery Many great authors have read REH's works, including but not limited to: George R. R. Martin Robert Jordan Stephen King

The Wrathgar series by Charles Moffat is so MFing good too. I wish more people would read it so we can talk about the characters and what we think will happen to them later in the series.

Nice collection of Sword and Sorcery and what I am guessing is research materials.

This looks cool as hell. I read the first Imaro book by Saunders a few years ago and enjoyed it. Nice sword and sorcery work and distinctly non-European.

I look forward to people getting their pitchforks, torches, swords, arms and guillotines and getting rid of all the dragons... 🔥 🗡 Also we need a Guillotine emoji.

1500 years ago the Welsh King Owain Ddantgwyn died of his wounds after winning his final battle. He won every single battle during a 50+ year period & was so fierce he was known as Arth Ur (The Bear). In honour of him a Roman named their son Artorius & he too had a successful military career.

Actually knows how to fight. Gets injured regularly. Not a Mary Sue (or Gary Stu). Often resorts to outsmarting opponents. Isn't waiting around for a man to save her. Examples: Sarah Connor Okoye Ripley Motoko Kusanagi Furiosa Brienne of Tarth NOT She-Ra. She is too OP + doesn't get injured.

Dear #SwordandSorcery Authors: I want to see more femalecharacters who actually know how to fight. Make them realistic. Make them bad ass. I want the feminine equivalent of "Die Hard" and "Conan the Barbarian". Like a female version of Rocky Balboa, who isn't afraid to take hits & dish it out.

Sony has decided to focus on selling digital-only games that expire and cannot be resold or refunded when they expire. No surprise, many people are boycotting digital-only games. My wife and I got a refurbished #PS2 console today. Why? Because old PS2 games never expire. Including S&S games...

Good Morning! Are you feeling heroic today?

I really enjoys books 1 and 2 of the Imaro series Charles Saunders. Been trying to find a copy of book 3 that is in new condition. So hard to find.

Ah, but for anyone who has studied Greek mythology... You will know that the original pronunciation of Zeus was Dzeus. Dzeus = Deus (God in Latin) Dzeus = Theós (θεός, God in Modern Greek). Ergo... Christians do believe in Dzeus. They just don't realize it is the same thing. #linguistics 🤔

Good Recommendation #SwordandSorcery

I suspect that a lot of books fall into the #SwordandSaga subgenre, especially since it is the one that more closely resembles #DungeonsandDragons themed adventures that typically feature 4 to 6 main characters. Examples Conan the Barbarian - 1 or 2 The Crystal Shard - 5 Lord of the Rings - 8

In that case there's a book series you might enjoy that has a robot horse: The Warlock series by Christopher Stasheff. The author died in 2018, but you can still find his books being sold online or via used bookstores.

Want dark fantasy? Try "Season of Kings" by A. J. Rettger "Song of the Broken: The Sundering" by Easton J. Thomson "Demon's Tear" by R.E. Sanders "Chosen of the Dark Realm" by David Cornford "Wulfric the Wanderer Treasury" by Charles Moffat See these and more at www.arcanetomes.org/2026/01/ 😃

Do you love old school Sword and Sorcery? Do you crave heroes that bleed, face grim threats, dark magic, and fearsome foes? Don't despair! You can find Wulfric the Wanderer and similar stories at amazon.com/author/moffat If you dare! 🔥

Interesting version of #Conan + #RedSonja. Would be Interesting to also see: #Imaro #Wrathgar #Elric of Melniboné #Wulfric the Wanderer #Tarzan #Raven #HeMan #Superman Etc

Imaro is one of my favourites. 🗡 Right up there with: Conan the Barbarian Wulfric the Wanderer Wrathgar Elric of Melniboné

Where are all the #swordandsorcery fans at? Do you crave dangerous adventures and blood-pumping excitement? Check out Charles Moffat's Wulfric the Wanderer series... And pump a little #excitement back into your life! #fantasybooks

Well worth your time article taking a nuanced look at what is still, by far, the best Conan movie.

2 September 1983 Deathstalker was released. The fantasy adventure film became part of the wave of low-budget sword-and-sorcery movies that followed the success of Conan the Barbarian. #History #HistoryMatters
