I actually ran this for the first time, last month, for my Castles & Crusades Conan game. The adventure is extremely rail roady, and in my opinion, poorly written. I ended up re-writing most of it using the fragment 'Snout in the Dark' as a guide (SPOILERS): Nahab is a small independent...

Look up "Ronan font", "Crom font", "Prophesy font", and "Allembert font" in your serch engine. "Ronan" and "Crom" are virtually identical. Ronan is free at myfonts.com; Crom is free at 1001fonts.com Allembert is free at myfonts.com Prophesy is a for-purchase font ($25) at fonts.com

Found it. It's Allembert.

OK, I'm a font collector. I like using fonts that mimic the official ones for handouts for my games. I have the "Conan" title font, known alternately as "Ronan" and "Crom", which was used for paragraph headers. I have the chapter header font, known as Prophesy. I am looking for the font used...

Ruins is a great book (thanks Vincent). Cities, however, is sub-par in my opinion. First, Cities does not even use the same format (based off the DMG) for generating cities that have been used in every previous Conan rpg publication (Compendium, S&P, etc). Concepts such as wealth level...

Thank you VERY much for the positive feedback. My group is currently in a C&C campaign that I'm not running. Next chance I get to run (several months down the road), we're doing C&C CONAN!!!!!! rabby--if you see any errors or omissions, please, PM me.

Here is my Castles & Crusades conversion for Conan. Unless otherwise stated, it uses standard C&C SIEGE rules, combat rules, movement rules, etc. I have converted Conan classes, races, equipment, and spells, as well as a page called "Adventuring in the Hyborian Age" which covers things like...

Are your PC's in the jungles of 'Nam? /lurking

That is similar to how I've always seen it. Based on Pirate Isles, the average pirate capatin is 7th level. Similarily, based on Free Companies, the average mercenary company leader is 7th level. It seems that 7th level is perceived as the epitome for 'generic' no-name NPC's. 'Name level'...

Su-supernatural ability (spell like) Ex-extraordinary ability (generally special class ability or racial ability). Basically a non-spell like ability.

I have not run Lurking Terror of Nahab yet, but I own it. It manages to be convoluted and railroading all at the same time. I have severely re-written it to make it playable, based losely on Howard's fragment story Snout in the Dark.

I tend to use the following guidelines for Conan/3.5: lvl 1: priest out of seminar, apprentice craftsman, warrior out of 'basic' lvl 2: average priest, craftsman, warrior lvl 3: head priest of small temple, expert craftsman, veteran warrior/sgt. lvl 4-6: head priest of large temple, master...

Quote from this website: The perfect companion to Ruins of Hyboria, this book provides several fully detailed city-based encounters that can be played throughout the Hyborian Kingdoms. Each is laid out to be run after just a glance of a few moments, ensuring a Games master is never caught off...

Based on this thread, is it safe to assume that none of us are really thrilled with how "Cities" was put together, and that we really all wanted something different?

Too bad. I was looking forward to this book. I have no intrest in a random encounter/random ward generating book. I was really hoping for something more in line with Ruins, that it would be 160-odd pages, with 20 or so famous Hyborian Age city writeups(similar to Aghraphur, Khemi, and others...
