They were that but still weird, sorcery tinted, tightly paced action stories. The main characters were still individualists and men of action, the stakes remained personal (okay maybe not always in Elric's case), the women were still beautiful, the treasure was still tantalizing, and all the wizards were still depraved bastards. That is Sword and Sorcery.
