Getting ready to start our first serious Conan game this weekend. We've done a few one offs to see how it was, everyone liked (except magic but that's discussed in another thread). I was going to wait until Shadow of the Sorcerer, busy in real life don't have the time to put into a my own adventures so i typically take packaged adventures and put my spin on them, lookout if i ever win the lottery it'll be like i was in school again and will be gaming all the time
Anyway November (I think that was the release date) is to far off and I got to roll me some dice.
I'm going to run them through The Black Stones of Kovag-Re, but I'm waffling were to start the players off. I want to come back a bit more west then Zamora. I've given great thought to Aquilonia b/c I've got a lot of detail thanks to the book, and I know I'll involve them as mercs skirmishing against the Picts, but it seems a little to civilized for me. So back east I go and come to Corinthia, Koth, and Ophir all are nice and central located and ancient lots of adventure material in ancient, but of the 3 Corinthia seems the most civilzed so out it goes. I was liking Koth a lot but I read the last paragraph in the Road of Kings entry for Ophir and I found my starting point . Ophir ancient, and fractious with merchants in Lodier mentioning the phrase 'Ia Xuthalla' in nearly every conversation. What's not to like?
I'm going to set the Black Stones in the Karapash Mts. the pass will cross into Nemedia. Any suggestions on Ophirian sounding names? I need to rename the town, Oleska, Bogdan, Juliana, Iovinivus, Lubomyr, and Vesna. This would be easier if I would've settled on Aquilonia it's listed in the relocating section
For those that have ran this adventure is there any thing I should be on the lookout for? The party wil all be 1st level and there should be at least 5-6 players, once it was out I was doing a Conan game I had to turn folks away there's a lot of folks wanting to play this fine game.
