Derek Smalls’ Two Handed Sword
Hmmm. I’ll confess up front this feels a bit weird. I feel that perhaps pieces like the one I’m about to write should have been made for Magnum Opus Press, since they were kind enough to pay for the creation of the existing covers. But then I can perhaps assuage that guilt with a hearty…
