GUEST POST: The Essential Hero’s Toolkit by R.R. Virdi

July 10, 2024 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

There are three tools all heroes must possess. Know them by their shape and their names. They are the candle, cloak, and cane.

Magic swords, magical horns, and magic powers. Heroes throughout myth and modern fiction have had no end of magical macguffins to seek or draw upon. But when crafting Tales of Tremaine, I wanted to look back through history, and mythology, to what heroes have often had or needed, but perhaps not always got the spotlight.

So, where did I begin?

July 9, 2024 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

His Ragged Company gives us the chance to splatter and swear our way through a kooky western with all the obscene violence of a Tarantino flick. Seriously, what’s not to like about that?
