That is my favorite book ever! Cornwell has some other great stuff as well as the Warlord chronicles. Check out his Saxon Shores series if historical Viking era stuff takes your fancy. But the Warlord chronicles is the best Arthurian tale in my books!
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Thanks to my friend Geoff West for the original recommendation. There are 3 books, Winter King, Excalibur, and Enemy of God. They are bad-ass.
