HITHER COMES CONAN to Seattle - EMERALD CITY GAMEFEST?? Our group of organizers is looking for someone to run a CONAN game at the upcoming EMERALD CITY GAMEFEST. Several gamers associations in the Greater Seattle/Puget Sound area are joining forces to organize a day of games and...

I feel the new comic go a long way toward the style and feel of the setting... I've never been interested in reading fantasy novels and stories as much but I AM interested in getting the right flavor for my Conan stories. So I use the comics (both Marvel and Dark Horse) to gather ideas on...

How do you (or how have you) used WARS from Culture to Culture in your plots? Give me some ideas for battles or wars that would be cool to have happen... I'm running my campaign mostly in the King Conan timeperiod and I'd like to eventually have my players be involved in larger scale...

I'm wondering on average how much you use monsters, demons and such in your adventures? Does every story have a monster somewhere in it? How often is the threat of the plot simply "human"? How often is the threat human and NOT involving sorcerors/magic? What do you feel is "Conan-y"? in...

I suck at making and playing scholars and sorcerors. I've never been good at it - in D&D or any other game... My question for folks is WHAT are the big things YOU consider with making a proper Scholar/Sorceror for the Conan RPG?? I'm thinking mostly about stats and numbers. I can come up...

couple things - thanks for the efforts... I do use Google Images. I do not want to use Illustrations. I do want to use Images from films and actors - real life looking. I'm also just looking for NAMES of movies that might have possible images to google. thanks -kev-

My gang has been trying our best to use images from movies and images of actors (famous and unknowns) to "populate" our Conan game. We use our Yahoo Club to post all the pics of NPCs and PCs. Does anyone have any suggested links to find excellent pictures that fit in genre? Either...

This interests me. I've just now started using iTunes. Can you give me some details on how you do this... Logistically and such? details are great help since I'm still learning to use it effectively. I just got an iPod so I've been ripping all my classical and soundtracks... Would it...

So I'm thinking of running an adventure in Stygia with my PCs, one is a Stygian scholar and the others will likely be jamming with other NPCs (since being in Stygia is rough for non-Stygians). Any suggestions for cool plot ideas? or the must haves when in Stygia? How about locations? Cults...

okay... that helps. I'm more than willing to go with the concensus of this forum because I've found everyone's arguments pro/con much more insightful than me trying to dig around and find articles on this myself. Kinda the why not use the massive resource with these forums than spin my wheels...

It's hard to explain other than IT'S GOOD... The newest series seems to be a much closer in style and substance adaption of past Conan stories. The art is very cool as well. Ultimately you have to give it a chance and see for yourself. For the most recent comic it gave me the idea to do a past...

Hadn't thougth about lower stats for being kids... I'd probably want to say that you have maximums for being children rather than just minuses to current stats. The reason I was liking the idea for commoner as a possiblity was that it kinda sets the mindset more than specifically being about...

The big reason not to use this is - I don't have it. I haven't seen it. There's no resource online for it...... (that I know of) EVERYthing else I've found researching it says 10k BC. What are the reasons for not using that time period? I'm okay with changing to that - I just want to know...

If any of you read the monthly Conan comic (you should!) you'll know that the most recent CONAN (2004) #15 http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=fullsize&issue=18716561177%2015 "Wolves in the Woods" told a story from Conan's early life - age 8 I believe. If you had...

So okay... All those sources seem to place Conan's reign between 18,000 BC and 10,000 BC With the Hyborian Age ending around 9,500 BC. Unless anyone can pinpoint anything further I'll just choose a year in there and use that to be as close possible. Again - the reason I wanna do this is...
