I like Call of Cthulhu like magic but ultimately think that part of the problem is that it's essentially just a small series of spells. I like thinking that wizards like Thoth-Amon have a fairly vast collection of spells and rituals at their beck and call, it just needs something like the Ring...

I disagree with that, if you mean Conan at 12 could KILL an adult male Cimmerian, All he has to do is slip in the knife in the right place and kill him. Of course, if you mean that Conan as a better warrior than a full adult then probably not. Then again, I have no difficulty believing Conan...

Also, there's plenty of interesting history elsewise as well. I've played plenty of Arabian Nights style adventures and Conan is arguably the opposite of stereotypical fantasy. You might do it a disservice by setting it in mostly European flavored realms.

5. Are you not entertained!? The PCs are visiting the capital city of Nemedia, which is currently under the governorship of Amalric of Tor. Depending on the positioning of the PCs in the timeline, this is actually Baron Amalric's father or son as opposed to the insanely wealthy villain of Hour...

1. Princess Yasmeela, first game. 2. Cimmerian woman were naked when they captured the players. 3. It was implicitly implied that the PCs were rewarded by the Lady of Khoraja for their efforts in "kind" 4. Already happening this game. 5. Not yet, in fact. It's been established that one of...

I may yet post the stats, though I'm not much of a map man, and I'm a terrible web-page maker. ;-) I look forward to reading about your adventures. The edge of Pict territory in Aquilonia is ripe for Wild West style adventures. But good idea. Ah, the joys of treasure hunting! It's...

She first appeared in Hour of the Dragon and Conan promised to make her "Queen of Aquilonia." So she's definitely likely Conan's wife.

Well certainly not in Howard. ;-)

2. The Tower of the Monkey Conan, or your PCs after running The Tower of the Elephant module, have successfully dealt with Yara the Sorcerer and given rest to the pitiful remnants of Yog. However, the Tower of the Elephant still stands in Zamora and remains a potent place of magic due to it's...

I do love that film, I'm still waiting to adapt Grendel. But this was my first adventure in Conan. My second posted adventure will be my second. I hope others will contribute as well.

I always have the idea how to acquaint the players with some of Bohran's more unpleasant qualities, one of them is a former slave that the Slavemaster was once in charge of. But yes, good idea on that.

From a certain point of view. In 1920s New England, a man worshiping eldrich horrors in exchange for gold and power is insane. In Hyborea, it's just sensible.

The Amazons of the Slayer's Guide to Amazons are very much into the "Monster" rather than Wonder Woman style thing. They murder all male children basically are rapidly xenophobic Moon Goddess worshipers that dwell in the jungle. I've harvested some stuff for adventures with them but I tend to...

I have King Bohran's write-up here. My only problem is it lacks that supernatural swerve but I don't want to use another Wizard mastermind after the last two adventures had them. King Bohran An oracle of the Cimmerians secuded King Numendides' father during one of his party trips up along the...

Thanks, I'll use that scene "as is" in my campaign. I definitely want to use this game to introduce the Cimmerians and their culture to our heroes. For me, I want there to be some peaceful contact with the PCs and maybe some love interest (as such can be called in the lust-driven and...
