The next sword-and-sorcery tale of Oshala the Hex is now available.

This tale includes the fate of a past love, the fate of a dark future, otherworldly slave-drivers, feats of acrobatic skill, travel to realm of dreams, a cursed graveyard, an ancient tower of learning, a twisted prophesy, close combat on the top of a spire, a people freed of their fetters, and a broken heart.

From the blurb:
A world of dark sorcery—a time of sharpened bronze.

The pale tower of the Academy has governed the city of Lytrops with wisdom and learning for centuries. When Oshala the Hex finds the entire city forced into menial labor and her lover beset by restless spirits, what price will she pay to break their chains?

This is a 6,900-word short story in the sword-and-sorcery genre.

The story is now available for purchase at these fine retailers:

Sunday Morning Swords: 25 September 2016

Sunday Morning Swords: 25 September 2016

#ChillSundayAM

Good morning!

Here's our organizational thread for #SundayAMSwords. All are welcome regardless of familiarity with the game! Comment below if you're interested in playing this morning and mention if you're comfortable being an Overplayer and whether or not you have play Swords before.

When we get an Overplayer and three or four Rogue Players, those players will run off and start their hangout. For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group. We'll probably wait until 9:30 EST to start the last group. If you can't make that, check back in a few hours. I hear rumors of other games firing up later in the day for those who wake at a more civilized time. If you don't see one, feel free to fire on up yourself.

Use the hashtag #SundayAMSwords should you desire to chat about your game on the social medias. And bring your breakfast or brunch. Adventurers need their sustenance! And coffee.

P.S. Got some tips on how to do this and links to useful files here:http://www.worldswithoutmaster.com/blog/2014/7/14/sunday-morning-swords

Has anyone here played Sorceress Bloody Sorceress from World's Without Master? How long does it take to run?

I'm hosting a story games night for 9 people next week and was wondering if it's quick enough to work as an icebreaker before we split into 2 groups for our longer games.

*Okay, okay, because of the nature of Swords they actually all decided to die while I happened to be Overplaying. DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME, OKAY?
Has anybody tried running/playing SWM without an Overplayer?

So much fun! Thanks everyone for playing! Phil Vecchione Senda Linaugh

Thanks Rachelle Shelkey for overplaying the other table!
How are people feeling this morning? I can't be overplayer just yet, but I'm keen to play.

Phil Vecchione rocks! He gave me a brand new set of dice for #SundayAMSwords at Queen City Conquest.
