A trifecta of links

I’m a little short of new material this week, so I thought I’d take a moment to point out some interesting links from around the web.
The second issue of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly is out. The guys over at HFQ put out a very enjoyable first issue, and they’re back with three more short stories and two poems (love that!) for issue no. 2. It’s free, so what are you waiting for? Go on over and do some reading.
A review of the Tantor Media audiobook, The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian . Hey, the author really seems to really know his REH 
. Seriously though, SFFaudio.com, a cool Web site that you should be checking out, allowed me to post a review on their web site. I’ll be very happy if it brings a few more REH readers into the fold.
How to Arm a 14th Century Knight. Great video and very instructive, if you like this sort of thing. I’m in the midst of reading Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell and had my interest in armor piqued. It’s a good read so far, but I’m not sure whether I buy Cornwell’s assertion that a longbow–even firing a bodkin-tipped arrow–could penetrate that type of protection with ease.
