Cities of Hyboria

[LucaCherstich]

This sourcebook is supposed to come out in July (or much later than that....as usual...) but (as far as I remember) nobody ever discussed it here.
Do we know the author's name?
What about the contents?

 

[Hervé]

There's a thread about it somewhere. I guess it will contain the descriptions of the major cities of hyboria (no waaay!?), hopefully with decent maps this time. I hope we'll get the much awaited Zamboula!

Cities of Hyboria looks at the great conurbations in Conan's world, providing details of inhabitants and locations that will provide dangerous adventures. Designed to be slotted into any campaign, with the dark threats that hide behind the walls of mansions, down dark alleys and underneath the feet of travellers in the sewers and catacombs, this supplement provides ample opportunities for fabulous riches to be won or a terrible death to be found.

If this information is indeed correct then I wonder what happened to Vincent Darlage, I haven't seen a sourcebook penned by him in a long time.

 

[MongooseMatt]

Oh, Vincent is working on something, I hear tell. . .

 

[Hervé]

Vincent is also working on a Solomon Kane supplement for Pinnacle, from what I've heard.

True - but we very much wanted to link it to Ruins of Hyboria.

 

[LucaCherstich]

....whose title was already wrong, as complained by the author himself (Vincent Darlage) in these forums....

 

[Spectator]

Can we get conan into some other clothes like Pants!
When In the hell did REH ever mention Conan running around with some muslim prayer rug wrapped around his waist.
I am sick and f'ing tired of that bathmat from Shem he is wearing.
Enough is enough~

 

[MongooseMatt]

I am sick and f'ing tired of that bathmat from Shem he is wearing.

Well, I ain't gonna try to take it off him. Any volunteers?

:lol:

 

[Krushnak]

It looks like he's actually wearing pants in this cover. Maybe the merchant wont sell him any bathmats?

 

[Strom]

"You would sell a slayer such as me haga?" :lol:

Love the monkey.

well...and regarding contents I do not know how a 104-pages products (Cities) caan be compared to a 162-pages book (Ruins).
Cities of Hyboria has less than 2/3 pages of Ruins!!!
I hope that, at least, it has some good content!

This isn't the final page count
