me estoy leyendo Red Sonja (de la Gail Simone) y que huela peor que una clase de la ESO después de Educación Física me hace más risa de la que debería

68) Conan is cool with sex workers but opposes sexual slavery. This is one of the weird developments of Conan's ongoing comics career; while he's always been cool with sex workers, his abolitionist tendencies have become decidedly more marked in the decades since REH first put him to paper.

29) All Sword & Sorcery is Pre- and Post-Apocalyptic Some apocalypses are small and local. The raiders wipe out your village. The fire runs through your woods. You're lost, you're alone, covered in ash, you find a sword... S&S is not about history & prophecies so much as it about living in the now.

22) Never go the full George R. R. Martin. History does not have a point. Stories need a point. It doesn't have to be a moral, but there has to be an ending to a narrative. Often in S&S that's when the protagonist or antagonist dies, but the death cannot be purely incidental - or what is the point?

Very funny to compare this to the Valve hardware announcement video, and think back to the Amazon guy on LinkedIn who was like, “why can’t we compete with Valve??? It is a mystery!!!”

20) Classic S&S rewards study. There is a reason why people still read Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Karl Edward Wagner, C. L. Moore, Fritz Leiber, et al. It isn't because their prose is perfect—it isn't—but if you read them with an open mind, see how they write & why, you can learn a lot.

17) Stereotypes are useful; especially when you break them. Robert E. Howard introduced Conan when he scribbled in the outlines of unknown countries onto a map. Conan read & spoke multiple languages, knew of scholars dead 1500 years, knew the customs of the peoples he met. Not a stupid barbarian.

15) Sword & sorcery can be horrific. Many fantasy stories hold that edge, tiptoeing up to horror or even crossing the line. Tolkien had his Nazgûl and Barrow-Wights. Sword & sorcery can be nastier. There's a human evil that gives shape and contrast to the more supernatural evils heroes face.

14) Sword & sorcery can be sexy! You don't necessarily need chainmail bikinis and fur loin cloths with rippling muscles, but they're allowed. Lovecraft said there was nothing in the Conan tales unsuited to a lusty bygone age, but more than that, it's a real world and in the real world people fuck.

13) Sword & Soul speaks to a genuine need. Readers do not need heroes they identify with, they need heroes that resonate with them. Charles Saunders' audience with his Imaro novels appeal to people regardless of race, because the stories are novel & well-written, and the challenges exciting.

7) Michael Moorcock deserves a statue. Dude is still alive and writing. Whichever town he's adopted should build a black sword about thirty feet high engraved with runes that casts a shadow like an enormous sundial counting down to the end of days.

6) Sword & Sorcery is not a unique American literary form, but... ...we did invent it, & it did start in the US for various historiographical reasons. Hardboiled fantasy in the Robert E. Howard/C. L. Moore/Clifford Ball/Henry Kuttner/Fritz Leiber mode was a counterpoint to William Morris & Tolkien.

1) More women should write sword & sorcery. Please, for the love of Crom, save us from the men's rights douchebros that try to turn hardboiled fantasy into some testosterone-driven epic of macho bullshit.

2) Sword & sorcery is always political and philosophical. Read the original Kull and Conan stories by Robert E. Howard. Even in an age undreamed of, Conan was full ACAB.

Wanted to paint this dog

Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen Who Never Was 🐉🗡️ for CMON's A Song of Ice and Fire: Tactics. We ended up going for a more battle-ready outfit in the final game, but I still like the parade armor look here!

“An unidentified stone found in thawing permafrost has been dated to a period predating known bipedal human ancestors, researchers say.”

Despite a staid and regal façade, the Council of Buhgermice are a constant swirling mass of political intrigue. Billious Pitt currently stands with as Mayor, but who knows for how long. The Fuzz, Junk City's police force nominally keeps the peace. Their badges say "justice". Sometimes it happens.

The Cult of the Silver hunt the gate shards for Cantor Polaris. Cantor is a fabulously wealthy, and fabulously eccentric noblemouse with snow white fur and golden eyes. Famous for his lavish parties, Cantor hordes secrets and memories.

Fui a la cocina y fuera de la ventana había un perenquén DEVORANDO una polilla. Gracias por tanto, amigo reptil.

Every time people seem surprised by the playable options in Pathfinder, I am contractually obligated to bring up the best of the "THAT'S PLAYABLE?" ancestries: conrasu. "Conrasus are shards of cosmic force given consciousness who construct intricate exoskeletons to interface with the mortal world."

I think the reason was that the changes in the personalities of the characters were so engaging, and the other aliens were great. I didn’t have much of a chance to paint them and always hoped for another cover before the series came to a close. 2/5

CHANUR’S BREAKOUT (1991) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30” X 22” An opportunity to paint C.J. Cherryh’s catlike Hani was always welcome. I was fortunate to have done several covers for this popular series, yet for CHANUR’S LEGACY I came up with more new concepts than ever before. 1/5

RIP

Lo dicho: tenemos capturas de la mayoría de lo que he comentado (lo que nos dio tiempo antes de que lo borrases o no fue por voz) y somos muchos testigos de tu comportamiento y forma de actuar. Pruebas no faltan, así que ahórrate el inventar y sobre todo: PAGA LO QUE DEBES.

Desgraciadamente me toca recurrir a hacer esto porque se han cruzado límites que se suponía no se iban a cruzar y los afectados ya hemos tenido suficiente. No es ni por venganza ni por tirar mierda, sino para que todxs sepan qué clase de persona es y juzguen por sí mismxs.
