About

The stars are right over Camelot. Despite Merlin’s arts, and the goodness of the land, the stars are right. Dread things rise up from the sea, worse than any Saxon. The ground grows cursed with strange colors. Strange cults proliferate through Logres. Shadows rise over Avalon.

While we will happily accept horror, and our collection would be remiss without horror, we’re also looking for a wide-range of genres. Mystery, sword & sorcery, fantasy, pulp, adventure.
