WADY 20: Creator Guide: Sword & Sorcery
In Episode 20 of We Aren’t Dead Yet, we take a swim into the lake of Sword and Sorcery, the sub-genre of Fantasy Literature known for smaller stakes, higher pace and plenty of escapist action. Vivid, gritty visceral imagery soaking typically muscle-powered loner or small group protagonists in the blood of their enemies, through a fast-paced magical world, Sword and Sorcery focuses on smaller scale, more personal conflicts, moral ambiguity and tons of action and adventure. This is the land of Conan, Kull and Jirel of Joiry. Here, there be monsters.
