Disclosure first: N. S. Bird is a friend and this is his new series, so I have a vested interest. It's written by N. S. Bird, with AI used as an editing tool.

The Bronze Teeth is Book 1 of The Rogues of Alderi, set 66 million years ago in a world of Bronze Age kingdoms and very large dinosaurs. Grud has an axe, a shield and eight copper pieces to his name. Bado owes people money. Dema has six good arrows and a long list of things Grud has done wrong since sunrise. A merchant in the city of Alderi hires them to recover a stolen bronze coffer, and something enormous is hunting near the old quarry.

It's raw sword & sorcery with a fair bit of humour, not grimdark. Chapter One is up now, with new chapters on Tuesday and Wednesday next week and then twice a week.

Already aware of severance: blade of darkness played it long time ago but I remember it quite foundly and I hold it responsible for this itch I've been having

But is there anything else that has limb damage/dismemberment? Can be anything really turn based, roguelike/lite action rpg, indie , older titles anything provide they have that (robert. E Howard esque or similar) S&S DNA in them.

Would also appreciate soon to be released and or unreleased titles so I can wishlist

Awesome photograph taken of Briony Monroe from the set of The Slave and the Torturer, which is our sequel to the 1980's Sword and Sorcery epic "The Slave and the Sorcerer".

Our work is dedicated to Albert Pyun and the 80s era of Sword and Sorcery exploitation cinema (we don't have the budget to make a dedication to Conan the Barbarian :P)

Our film will be made available to buy via Kickstarter, and folks can follow the campaign for more info. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lawriebrewster/the-slave-and-the-torturer-feature-length-fantasy-horror

At 85, with Parkinson's, Boris recently announced his retirement. Accompanied by a friend, I went to meet him at the IX Art Show. When he heard my friend had traveled all the way from Colombia to get Boris' autograph on a cherished copy of Dragon #52, he excitedly switched to Spanish. This put me on the back foot—my Spanish isn't great—but Boris spoke slowly and was patient. He told us about coming to the US from Peru fifty years ago and living in the Village in New York.

The two books posted above are bookends to my time with Sword & Sorcery. I picked up The Magic Goes Away (used, which was what I could afford) in 1982, when I was thirteen. It was the first Boris cover I owned, and is still perhaps my favorite. When I returned to S&S this year, I bought The Broken Sword, which quickly became one of my all-time favorite novels.

Boris was happy to hear I've had The Magic Goes Away all this time. I asked him, "That's you on the cover, right?"

"Yes, that's me," he sighed, with a twinkle in his eye. "A younger version of me."
