Map of Gurps CONAN?

René said:
A friend of mine volunteered to scan the German GURPS CONAN map. I'm no lawyer, since my question: Would it be legal to post this map to someone on this forum who could host it at his webpage? I fear it wouldn'T be legal...?

Just ask the publisher.
 
Has anyone else seen the map that comes with the Conan PC game by TDK(released in Europe only)? It has quite a different take on the official Hyboria Map.
The major changes I recall are that the southern sub-continent (Black Kingdoms et al) are shifted west, under the hyborian kingdoms. Asgard ends up almost to the east of Cimmeria, the Styx runs Northeastward and Turan, Zamora and Stygia look like a lot closer neighbors.

I wonder if this is the one by Ringer for GURPs?

Could be - but Styx runs from SE to NW.

I have the scan of the map and the permission from the German publisher (you have to add the www-adress and "mit freundlicher Genehmigung", i.e. in English "with friendly allowance" (?)). Does some CONAN-fansite owner volunteer?
I have already mailed to http://conan.playwithbob.com, but received no answer.
 
Your right, the Styx is running SE to NW.

I like the way Zamboula is on this map, on a trade route between Stygia and Turan, if I remember correct. Instead, of between Zamora and Turan, given the history of the city as Stygian and then Turanian. But I'll play Conan with any map.

Thanks for the correction.

Yes, Zamboula's location is much more logical: way nearer to the Black Kingdoms. On the Mongoose map all the black slaves which are said to live in Zamboula would have to travel so many miles through desert I doubt more than a handful would survive (yes, CONAN is cruel, but the the slavers are not stupid).
Another thing is that the Hyborian kingdoms form a much smaller part of the continent and e.g. the Black Kingdoms are 1. a really large landmass and 2. have many square miles of savannah etc., not only jungle / mountains.

René,
You can send it too Dale Rippke at (http://www.dodgenet.com/~moonblossom/heroesof.htm. He is a dedicated Conan fan and Howard scholar who wrote great essays on the Hyborian Age. He appears sometimes on this forum. He will appreciate the material very much.
Though I translated his most excellent Conan gazetteer, I never thought of providing him with this map (probably because I didn't have a scanner then).

Good idea! I mailed him just minutes ago about IMARO, the black Conan - so he gets two mails from me.

I can put it up on my fan site (see the www button below). My email address is also below.
 
If someone wants to order GURPS CONAN German because of map, one of the few available copies is here:

(search for CONAN with button "Suchen" on the bottom)
 
I just got a look at the German GURPS map and it's really closely based on Lee Falconer's Starmont Map. Looks great, though...

I'd love to buy it, but alas, I have no German knowledge, and I do not see where I can order to the U.S. from them (I don't get that impression from viewing the site)...

Their email is

versand@rollenspiel-shop.de

Since virtually everyone in Germany who went to school in the last decades speaks more or less good English, don't hesitate to write them.

I hope I could help!
 
Another shop that offers GURPS CONAN in German is

http://www.rpg-shop.com/catalog/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=17f1d08249b6b23159c388ee28e6969c&keywords=conan&x=0&y=0

You can contact them via KONTAKT on the left side near the bottom.

Be sure to ask, if the book is German, since I can't say this definitely from the cover image dsiplayed.
 
Well thank you Mr. Helpful! I sent an email, but at worst I could have a friend in Germany get it for me and send it on, we'll see...
 
Sorry, I get that too now, but I swear it worked...I swear (trust me, I am swearing).
:oops:

I can't even get too it by following the link from the site's home page. My advice would be to not run any configuration wizards though.

Hope you like the map as I do (it's map on our gaming table) - you even get some 80s flavor with the illustrations on the borders for free :wink: !

How much shipping / delivery did you pay? I ask, because I regularly oder books and RPG stuff directly from the US and would like the to compare the shipping costs.
