Sword and sorcery Sword and sorcery (S&S) is a subgenre of fantasy characterized by sword-wielding heroes engaged in exciting and violent adventures. An element of romance is often present, as is an element of magic and the supernatural. Unlike works of high fantasy, the tales, though dramatic, focus mainly on personal battles rather than world-endangering matters. Sword and sorcery commonly overlaps with heroic fantasy.

Dinosaur (Dungeons &amp; Dragons) In numerous campaign settings of the "Dungeons & Dragons" ("D&D") fantasy role-playing game, dinosaurs, based upon the actual-life reptiles of prehistoric ages, are present. Some of the dinosaurs used in "D&D", such as "Triceratops", "Tyrannosaurus rex", and "Ankylosaurus", are real ones which used to exist on earth. Others, such as the Bloodstriker, Fleshraker, and Swindlespitter from the Monster Manual III, though labeled as dinosaurs, are made up, and as such are likely better regarded as monsters. Most D&D settings have a location where dinosaurs are known to dwell, and seeing as they coexist with intelligent races, they are sometimes depicted as tamed, with armored tyrannosaurs being used in battle and raptors used as mounts.

Forgotten Realms Forgotten Realms is a campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" ("D&D") fantasy role-playing game. Commonly referred to by players and game designers alike as "The Realms", it was created by game designer Ed Greenwood around 1967 as a setting for his childhood stories. Several years later, Greenwood brought the setting to the "D&D" game as a series of magazine articles, and the first Realms game products were released in 1987. Role-playing game products have been produced for the setting ever since, as have various licensed products including sword and sorcery novels, role-playing video game adaptations (including the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game to use graphics), and comic books. The Forgotten Realms is one of the most popular "D&D" settings, largely due to the success of novels by authors such as R. A. Salvatore and numerous role-playing video games, including "Pool of Radiance" (1988), "Eye of the Beholder" (1991), "Baldur's Gate" (1998), "Icewind Dale" (2000) and "Neverwinter Nights" (2002).

Sword and planet Sword and planet is a subgenre of science fantasy that features rousing adventure stories set on other planets, and usually featuring Earthmen as protagonists. The name derives from the heroes of the genre engaging their adversaries in hand-to-hand combat primarily with simple melée weapons such as swords, even in a setting that often has advanced technology. Although there are works that herald the genre, such as Percy Greg's "Across the Zodiac" (1880) and Edwin Lester Arnold's "" (1905; published in the US in 1964 as "Gulliver of Mars"), the prototype for the genre is "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs originally serialized by "All-Story" in 1912 as "Under the Moons of Mars".

Chivalry &amp; Sorcery Chivalry & Sorcery is a fantasy role-playing game that was first published in 1977 by Fantasy Games Unlimited. Originally created by Edward E. Simbalist and Wilf K. Backhaus in 1977, "Chivalry & Sorcery" ("C&S") was an early competitor to "Dungeons & Dragons" ("D&D"). Historically, the two designers of the game were dissatisfied with the lack of realism in "D&D" and created a gaming system derived from it, which they named "Chevalier". They intended to present it to Gary Gygax at Gen Con in 1977, but changed their minds once at the Con, where they met Scott Bizar who wrote out a letter of intent. After some final changes to get rid of the last remnants of "D&D" (e.g. the game contained a table of "Saving-throws" similar to "D&D"), Simbalist and Backhaus published the first edition of their game - now renamed "Chivalry & Sorcery" - shortly after the release of the first edition of "Advanced D&D".

Swordsmanship Swordsmanship or swordfighting refers to the skills of a "swordsman", a person versed in the art of the sword. The term is modern, and as such was mainly used to refer to smallsword fencing, but by extension it can also be applied to any martial art involving the use of a sword. The formation of the English word "swordsman" is parallel to the Latin word "gladiator", a term for the professional fighters who fought against each other and a variety of other foes for the entertainment of spectators in the Roman Empire. The word "gladiator" itself comes from the Latin word "gladius", meaning "sword".
