Hey everyone! Just a reminder that October 23rd is the fourth annual celebration of Sword & Sorcery known as THE DAY OF MIGHT.

Inaugurated by the mighty Skull, though rumor has it Howard Andrew Jones may be its true author, this is a day to "Bang a gong, light a candle, crack open some two-fisted adventure and reflect on all the many ways in which sword-and-sorcery is the genre that can easily beat up all the other genres, take their lunch money, and spend the proceeds on horns of mead and sacks of uncut wine."

You can read more about it here: https://goodman-games.com/tftms/2021/10/23/the-skull-declares-today-is-the-day-of-might

Our head editor will be celebrating by spending the day working on bringing new Sword & Sorcery works into the world, then sitting back in the evening with a favorite tale or two and a ferocious hound snoozing at his heels, dreaming of chasing Weird creatures through strange vistas.

HOW WILL YOU BE CELEBRATING?
