Purpose of this post: to acknowledge the fine work done by Greg Lynch on two Conan supplements I just finished reading. Vincent D usually gets a lot of praise around here (not at all undeserved, mind you; his books are also great), but, by Crom, its time for some Greg-love too!!!
Just finished reading Tower of the Elephant. It was excellent; true to the original while adding in just the right amount of new stuff (that all felt appropriate). I think it will be a fun adventure to run, and I look forward to more books in this 'Classic Conan'-series.
I also recently purchased and read through Messantia. I had held off buying it for a long time, getting other stuff instead, mainly because I'd not heard much talk about it at all here on the forum, and because Shadizar wasn't my favorite supplement (it was alright, but there has been better stuff). Messantia I dug a lot, though; it got me really psyched about setting up some adventures involving merchant house intrigue and gladiatorial arena-fights. It was also the Conan supplement with the least proofreading issues that I've seen so far (no cut-and-paste stuff that seem to have crept into a lot of the other books).
So, a big thumbs-up for these supplements, and keep up the good work Greg!
