Thanks for doing the stories. Having most of these on paper already, hearing them is a whole new experience, that still feels like the familiar pages. 🍻
Direct quotes- all of it. The best kind. Thanks! my only regret was not knowing what khosatral khel transmutated into when he died. Being an artist I tried very hard to imagine what he looked like after that transmutation.
@@audiobooky good question. First, i want to quote the part that happened, at the beginning "... in the likeness of a man it turned and fell. But, it was not the likeness of a man which struck the sward. Where there had been the likeness of a face, there was no face at all. And the metal limbs, melted and changed. In its death throes khosatral had become again the thing which had crawed up from the abyss milleniums gone..."What I imagined was a mass about 1.5 meters across, having several unstable eyes with merging pupils, with pulsing internal organs which looked nothing like any organs within known paleontology within a translucent membrane which was in the process of destabilizing. With an obscene puddle beginning to to bubble before it lay completely still
please define "fucking" as it applies to this context, thank you. Is it a metaphor or literal? If it is a metaphor, please delineate the similarity between the literal meanin of the word, and the thing that it is meant to describe, thank you.
@@SembuaHumpdediddle If you know anything about linguistics you would know that fuck can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, interjection, adverb... or as used here, which is probably the most common usage, as an intensifier. An intensifier is a modifier that serves to enhance/intensify the meaning of the word it modifies, in this case "awesome". I.e, they used "fucking" to properly convey the emotional context.
You have contaminated the conversation. When Andy will answer, how will we know whether or not his answer will have bee affected by that, which you wrote? You have deprived him of the benefit of self-examination. @@PohjanKarhu
I based a character off if conans ancestor Kull and korgoth of barbaria. These 2 made me a chuck norris of dnd and 8 years of the same campaign my guy became a demi god in dnd 4.0 which was a cool dnd version but comic book esk style game. It was fun while it lasted
who had carven his way. Right after writin "had carved his way", Robert wrote "the carven stairs", so he contradicted his own way of conjugatin the verb "to carve". He didn't write "he walked up the weared steps" but he wrote "he walked up the worn steps". Too late to fix it now, but the reader of this comment can be fixed anyhow.
Have you been taught how to conjugate a verb? Do you know the names of all of the tenses, voices, and moods? If not, then search "English verb conjugation" and learn each one of them. @@swiftmatic
@MoivinSulunker actually, yes, I WAS taught how to conjugate verbs. BY NUNS! Parts of speech, gerunds, participles past and present, the whole fkn shebang. Got it all again three years later in public school. What ELSE you got?!?
Then you know that the past participle of "carve" is "carven". The past tense is "carve". If somebody made an error 200 years ago and 2 billion people copied it, it is still an error. The masses have no authority to set standards. Unless the nones were not grounded in the origins of the verb's conjugation. Anyone who identifies with the masses or the consensus is no gooe. @@swiftmatic
The paintings of Conan don't show the kind of musculature that comes from working, but from bodily sculpting. Did Robert Erwin Howard write anything about Conan's taking time to do bodily sculpting? Bodily sculpting is more feminine on the spectrum than is simply doing work, or even developing pure strength.
Fifty years ago I , as a thirty year old, read all the paperbacks that I could find...
Thank you for taking me back.
It's a pleasure to read comments like this, thank you. You're probably going to enjoy what we're releasing next :)
Me too..read the ace editions in the mid 70's..
Are you 80 years old now, or 80 years young?
Meanwhile, Sphere and Tor editions carefully sorted on a shelf elsewhere...

'Carven' is an adjective describing an object that has been carved.
That has been carven. Don't listen to folks whose standards are that low.

a metal catchin.
On the whole, I enjoy your reading. "bowed", not "bowed". Like an archery bow.
Conan's hair began to lift what?
also a great comic; same story; i didn't know it was a short story, though i should have guessed.
Remember, kids: Cimmerian, not Summarian.
Till we meet again!

@audiobooky That wasn't a dig, btw. I say that in all Conan vids where his homeland is mentioned. You're a good sport.
