Unless the boss is intending to use a game system, the phrase ‘sword and sorcery’ is just a shorthand way to describe oldschool low fantasy worlds. Conan the Barbarian fits the themes and genre ‘sword and sorcery’, for example.

Usually the magic is evil, heavily negative in connotation, old, and misunderstood or feared. Shamans and druids and natural world phenomenon like giant beasts, dire wolves, massive serpents, etc, are to be feared and awed.

Cults to demons, sorcerers of evil power, old ruins, and a low technology base are all things to expect in ‘sword and sorcery’ worlds.

Conan is often half naked, scarcely armored, with weapons of steel being rare and coveted. It’s [i]typically[/i] more ‘tribal chieftains vying to be king of the known lands’ and less ‘the knights of king arthur on a quest with Merlin’

Tribalism, fear, dark nights, scary monsters, powerful and mighty heroes. That’s the vibe usually.
