Elden Ring and George RR Martin together?

Elden Ring and George RR Martin together?

I don’t get excited about epic or high fantasy too much these days. But Elden Ring caught my attention. You have to admit the trailer is stellar. And when I discovered that George RR Martin is one of the world-builders, ie. contributors to this new venture, I had to take a longer look. The question was raised, what exactly does GRRM have to do with this new game? Well, on my first run of research for this blog post, I found that he is, in fact, creating the world that the game revolves in and giving the other contributors or

One of the main turning points in Guns of Avalon occurs when Prince Corwin finds a way to get gunpowder to function in the magical city of Amber. In the Balance is about an alien invasion during the height of World

Meet Dora Machado, she writes FANTASY!

How Fantasy Loves Romance and Romance Loves Fantasy by Dora Machado People ask me all the time why I chose to write romantic fantasy. The short answer is that I can’t envision writing one without the other. The long answer might be more complex. The union of fantasy and romance is a marriage of convenience. The genres complement, enhance and enrich each other. Beyond that, romance and fantasy are the Yin and the Yang, ebony and ivory, Billy Joel and Elton John. They belong together. I love writing epic fantasy. Fantasy is a subversive genre, requiring the mind to bend
