Join the Swords Against! party as we launch our Backerkit.
What can I say about Mr. Stackpole? I first encountered his work browsing through Battletech books back when I worked at Bookstop. I recognized his name and realized I had a Tunnels & Trolls book that he wrote — City of Terrors. I mean…the guy is living the life every nerd envies.
His story, the Warlock’s Champion, has that old school feel, and I really dig it. It took me back to summers, hiding from chores, and reading from my stack of fantasy books. It’s truly an honor to have Michael in our first issue.
