But this is the first time @backerkit.com has ever tried merging multiple campaigns and so we have a pair of hiccups.

The only way to save humanity and unite the people is more Sword & Sorcery paintings on the side of vans.

To our lovely backers outside the U.S. and Canada, WE FEEL YOU.

A medium-term goal is to get distribution in the UK so we can dramatically drop shipping charges for people there and in the EU.

All we can say for now is "We're working on it."

Without exaggeration, one of the finest pieces of paleofiction I've found anywhere. Weird Stone Age horror as high art.
In Perfection’s Shape I Writhe. ~5k words. to be published by @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social. pleistocene paleohorror, ammonite worship, disapora feelings, ritual mutilation, comfort by any means; this one isn't out yet or free to read but NESS issues are so gorgeous i couldn't overlook it

"I Thought She Was Afeard Till She Stroked My Beard" by Joanna Russ is probably one of my favorite short stories of all time. The Adventures of Alyx collection is fantastic, some of the best sword and sorcery I've ever read

When a sword-and-sorcery hero from another world crash-lands in ours, his greatest battle will be with the American justice system. This is Barbarian Behind Bars! #comics #comicbooks

Barbarian Behind Bars melds high-fantasy spectacle with cynical prison-yard grit. It’s what happens when you drop a mythic hero into the concrete jungle—and let the sparks fly!

We've just sent the smoke test of the big ol' survey covering all three crowdfunds (NESS 2025, BH&BA, and Sometime Lonely Towers). This means 5% of backers should have their survey in their inbox, so there's a 1 in 20 change *you* have your survey.

The main survey will go out soon.

I'm at Galactic Journey again, reviewing Swords of the Barbarians by Kenneth Bulmer, a not very good sword and sorcery novel. Plus reviews of books by Philip José Farmer, Ted Thomas and Kate Wilhelm.

Bombarded with "Holiday gifts for HIM/HER" which are full of scented candles and hot sauce? HELL NO.

Get them HEART-RACING SPINE-TINGLING LOIN-GIRDING fiction of the genre which will be filling bookstores next decade.

Be better than bleeding edge. Be NEW EDGE.
