Epic Fantasist. It me.
pinned post!
Hello all you new friends! I write, I read, I enthuse about various TTRPGS, and I'm part of the British Fantasy Society. My signature karaoke song is the Cutting Crew's I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight. My cat has 3 legs and a hard stare. I'm older than I look.

Well, my days of treating the bookcellar as a fallout shelter from the idiocy of authoritarianism and pissbag fascism are certainly becoming more relevant.

If you donβt need convincing that women can fight, this collection is for you. And if you do need some persuasion, this collection is also for you β though you might end up a little more paranoid than before, as not all fights are direct confrontations or fairly fought.
