45th Anniversary Edition - COMING SOON!

 

For the faithful folks waiting patiently for the 45TH Anniversary Edition of The Sword And The Flame, rest assured it is COMING SOON! Please see the work in progress cover art. The cover is being manipulated with AI and not a drawing program at this point, which is a very fiddly process as you can clearly see. The cover needs a lot of work, but IT IS IN PROGRESS as is the last few aspects of the body of the rules.

There has been a lot of negative talk going on in multiple forums about the health of the rules set and the Broms. The Broms had suffered a series of horrible defeats and tragedies, yet Christie still soldiers on! Huzzah to her fighting spirit to survive, persevere, and to keep her family's legacy alive. Her friends and those faithful to her, Lori, and Larry will do everything in our power to get these rules out to the public ASAP.

Thank you to all those faithful for KEEPING THE FLAME ALIVE!

Cheers,

Sgt Guinness
