MadDog,
Yes I wrote that adventure and it never became available as an online Pdf to the general public; only to those members of the SOC. However if you would like a copy then give me your email address and I will send you one.
By the way, I have another adventure coming out this month called, "The Staff of Ibis". Hope you like it.

Or even as a free download. At least that adventure that was part of the SOC program. :wink:
As to the adventure being made available as a pdf download, free or not, is up to Mongoose. They are the men in charge and they get to say "what is what" in the Conan world. 
However, if you ask those guy's directly, then maybe they would consider given it out as a free download, since they done it already.
As to there not being a listing for Conan and the Staff of Ibis, well it's because it's a secret release and it will be in a pdf format.
I hope that covers it?

"Danger in the Westermarck!" Review
I do own Thunder River, but have yet to run a Pictish Wilderness campaign, but were I to, I think this mini-adventure would be a nice intro with which to acquaint the players before diving into the much more detailed ideas of TR.
The PCs' mission is relatively straightforward: obtain a strongbox from Picts who purloined it. Overall it is fertile reading, but possesses a couple of very minor deficiencies.
The weird, or supernatural, element could have been amped up a notch or two.
Maps of meager craftsmanship, could be better, more like dnd flavour than Conan/Hyborian.
A scale would be immensely helpful, although not too hard to improvise.
Six numbered sites on map not explicitly keyed to the text.
stats lacking for some npcs or animals. Providing them in an appendix or afterword should have been useful.
"normal" vs. "not normal" wolves.
"Dark Altar of Katar" review
Very nicely thought out. Good flavourful backstory.
There's something much more exotic and mysterious when one thinks of the distant land of Vendhya, and this adventure immediately got my creative juices flowing.
"Millennia" is plural for "millennium." So the phrase "crafted over a millennia ago" does not agree with regard to number.
The vial of glowing liquid mentioned in E2 is intriguing.
The map in this module shares my same complaint as the DitW module: They look more in the vein of D&D and could have been more atmospheric by being hand-drawn and b/w.
The npc name Vadavaa, Sanskrit for "mare"??? If true, very clever.
In all, "Katar" much more competent and imaginative writing than "Westermarck." My few complaints do not fault the writing as much as the maps.
