Amra is named
after Conan, who called himself by that name when he was a pirate.
|
Amra is
about various heroes, mostly of sword & sorcery stories set in fantasy
worlds. Amra was started as the organ of the Hyborian Legion, a group
of Conan admirers who met annually at the World Science Fiction Convention;
Legion membership was open to all interested parties who showed up.
