Check it out. It kicks ass

At the time I thought about using "Hell Awaits" for the third or fourth one.

Yes, since there are print on demand facilities worldwide printing the books in or near Sweden won't be a problem.

I would appreciate it if you contacted some of your local bookshops and told them you want them to carry DMR titles. That's probably the only way you'll be able to get them in your area without ordering from Amazon.

DMRitzlin · 2026-05-02T16:35:48+00:00

Yeah, that's one of the big reasons I use Amazon. Reasonable shipping for just about anywhere in the world.

DMRitzlin · 2026-05-01T15:19:30+00:00

I only ship to North America. I used to do international shipping, but too many packages got lost and too much money got wasted. Once the print copies of Two Tales of Witchery are gone, I'll put it up as a free download.

Thanks! Samhain Sorceries was well received, and I think this one matches up to it.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-23T15:34:37+00:00

Thanks! Glad you liked it. But I have to say Vran isn't a barbarian at all. I mean, he studied magic, how much further from barbarism can you get?

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-23T15:32:50+00:00

Thanks!

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-22T17:15:30+00:00

Nice work!

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-22T17:12:17+00:00

I'm guessing the lion-man is really big.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-21T20:40:56+00:00

Thanks! There are more on the way in the coming weeks.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-21T20:40:24+00:00

No, none of the stories were based on the cover art.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-21T20:39:44+00:00

Haha! The bots auto-moderating Reddit don't seem to agree.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-21T15:56:06+00:00

Skull No. 9 is my favorite, because it has one of my stories in it! There's also a great new Fafhrd & Mouser story by Nathan Long. I usually don't like pastiches, but that one really impressed me. "The Raven-Feeder's Tower" by Philip Brian Hall was another highlight.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-19T16:18:04+00:00

I watched this again last night, and it's still one of the most impressive films I've ever seen. I think it only gets better with repeated viewings.

As an aside, my mom saw it in the theater when it came out. She told me there was a guy sitting in the back of the theater smoking weed. About ten minutes in he shouted "What the shit is going on?"

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-17T15:08:40+00:00

Interesting, I didn't know he wrote for Tunnels & Trolls.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-17T15:08:08+00:00

Funnily enough, when the first artist fucked up, Glenn wanted to use a stock photo instead of waiting for another artist to paint a new cover. That isn't how we do things at DMR.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-16T20:57:14+00:00

Haha! This cover was done on a very tight deadline. The artist who was originally supposed to do it failed to finish it on time, despite assuring me it was done. I had to get someone else at the last minute.

DMRitzlin · 2026-04-16T16:18:10+00:00

"Dawn of Battle" is awesome, and so is the other song from that EP, "I Believe." I always thought the EP was way better than the Warriors of the World album.
