Since the furthest adventure (in time) ever written by Howard was Hour of the Dragon, and we just have a few comments about what could be after that -in the line of visiting the far east and exploring a "mysterious" western continent-, all we have seen of Conan's Reign is pastiche. And in my humble opinion, not a very good one -yet I prefer what the current comics of Dark Horse are hinting that the classic Marvel ones. I found King Conan funny in, perhaps, the first docen issues.
So, I wonder, how do you all represent Conan's Reign if it show up in your game? In the Aquilonia sourcebook we have plenty of characters out of the pastiches, but I myself prefer to use some of them and/or change them completelly, depending of what my idea of Conan's Reign is.
I consider the King Conan novel by Carter and De Camp as very, very silly, and the pretended antagonism between Conan and Toth-Amon even silli-er, so the four stories in it are out of consideration. On the other hand, I keep the character of Conan's first son (don't know how to call him yet; maybe Conan, but never Conn), with some different traits.
So, what about you?
