This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century American science fiction and fantasy author Poul Anderson's essay "Of Thud And Blunder", which begins by parodying a passage of swords and sorcery fantasy. While making exceptions for L. Sprague de Camp, Fritz Leiber, and J.R.R. Tolkein, Anderson criticizes many of the heroic, historical, or swords & sorcery fantasy fiction for engaging in bad storytelling. He charges them with oversimplifying, not engaging in needed research, and not devoting thought or common sense to their story writing. 

He discusses a number of different matters that a fantasy author should attend to, including: social classes and the lives of producers, the nature of pre-modern cities, diseases and sanitation, politics and religion, travel by land and water, and arms, armor, combat, and poisons.

Swords of Fate

Swordplay club in Northampton creates community through ancient weaponry
Twice weekly, First Churches of Northampton is filled with the sounds of clanging swords.


(Verse 1)
In Northampton town where the old church stands,
The First Churches hall with its ancient plans,
Twice a week when the evening's near,
The swords come out and the heartbeats cheer.
With sabers and rapiers, longswords in hand,
The clash of the blades makes a joyful band.

(Chorus)
Swords clang, oh swords clang,
In Lyman Parish Hall where the steel does bang.
From olden days to the modern throng,
We dance with blades in a warrior's song.

(Verse 2)
Ken Mondschein leads with a historian's grace,
A salt-and-pepper smile on his weathered face.
With a bandana bold and a scholar's wit,
He teaches the art where the brave ones fit.
From French bâton to the steel's sharp gleam,
We train with care in a swordsman's dream.

(Chorus)
Swords clang, oh swords clang,
In Lyman Parish Hall where the steel does bang.
From olden days to the modern throng,
We dance with blades in a warrior's song.

(Verse 3)
Cyrus Yau leaves the hospital's strain,
To fence with friends and ease his pain.
Jessica Gee tosses gloves with flair,
While Bryan Larkin drills through the air.
Menachem and Vigdís, they spar with might,
In the Neo-Gothic hall by the candlelight.

(Bridge)
Oh, it's not just fightin', it's a thinker's game,
Like chess with swords, no two moves the same.
With pool noodle blades and a circle of love,
We welcome all ‘neath the stars above.
No hate in our hall, just the nerds' delight,
With bad puns flyin' through the candlelit night.

(Chorus)
Swords clang, oh swords clang,
In Lyman Parish Hall where the steel does bang.
From olden days to the modern throng,
We dance with blades in a warrior's song.

(Verse 4)
The swords are blunt, and the gear is thick,
But the heart of the fight is what makes it tick.
From '80s tunes to the spadone's swing,
The past comes alive as the steel blades sing.
For ten to twenty-five, come join the fray,
At MHS, where the brave ones play.

(Outro)
So come to Northampton, where the old church calls,
Where history lives in the parish halls.
With laughter and steel, we're a welcoming crew,
The swords may clang, but the heart shines through.
Be brave, be bold, let your fears take wing,
Join Massachusetts swords, and let freedom ring!

(Chorus)
Swords clang, oh swords clang,
In Lyman Parish Hall where the steel does bang.
From olden days to the modern throng,
We dance with blades in a warrior's song.

67. Into The Kostanski-verse - Deathstalker, Swords, & Sorcery

This House Steady (Granny’s Words) is a soulful fall reflection about family, faith, and love that stands the test of time. Bobby Ticklez captures three generations under one roof and the warmth that fills a southern home. It’s cozy, heartfelt, and full of gratitude. The song feels like sunlight through a kitchen window on a cool autumn morning. This is a real life dedication to the songwriter, Jerdal Whitaker’s, grandmother and her impact on him and his family.
