mastodon 4.7.3New Edge Sword & Sorcery takes the genre's virtues of outsider protagonists, thrilling enery, wondrous weirdness, and a large body of classic tales and alloys inclusivity, mutual creative support, a positive fan community and enthusiastic promotion of new works into the mix.
Our Kickstarter is now LIVE for issues 1 & 2! If we successfully fund, the magazine will feature a brand new sword & sorcery story by MICHAEL MOORCOCK!

Yes, we are doing a Kickstarter for issues 1 and 2 in February. We are VERY excited by the talent we have lined up and can't wait to tell you who they are.
Just learned from a Mexican fan of the Spanish-Language Sword & Sorcery Magazine Revista Quinta Raza. There is a large fandom for the genre in Central & South America that we'd love to learn more about.

Once upon a time:
"Huh. Twitter's down? Well, I'll check back in an hour or two It'll likely be up then."
Now:
"Oh crap. Is this it? It's finally over. Isn't it?"
An hour or two later, with the site restored, you can't help but feel a little disappointed it wasn't over.
Our new Kickstarter Pre-Launch is now up! Official Launch is February 2!
