When I was waiting for the original Mongoose Conan game to come out, I took all my old paperbacks and The Hour of the Dragon and made a word doc for each character, such as is being done here. I put in a couple of altered/re-written stories, but stopped after a certain point. Most are Howard, and my index cites the sources I used (not much use unless you have that particular printing, but back then I didn't know about these forums).

Anyways, I've emailed it to some who've asked me for it, I haven't edited it, just ran through the stories in a week.

then I took the list and turned it into a word table of names by country, which I've added from sources like the Shadizar boxed set for example, or from those 2 editions of Signs & Portents when they listed names for some countries.

Anyways, if anyone wants it, feel free to write. The character list may be slightly more useful than the name list, as my gut reaction to Tlazitlans was different at the time from what many wrote in several threads on it here. Anyways, I'm not on these boards so much anymore since my game is dead, but like I wrote feel free to ask for [either] list if you want, just PM me.

For what that's worth, hope it helps. At least it may help come up with some ideas how to do it yourself. :p
 
Bregales, I don't know about anyone else, but you are welcome to e-mail me anything you want anytime. And particularly on something as awesome as what you just stated, makes my little list sound pretty pathetic.

Thanks!

Hope it'll be worth it, I just emailed the docs to you. Don't think your posts are pathetic at all, it's good work, and as you've used other sources besides Howard (something I only did VERY limitedly) yours is more expansive than mine. If nothing else, maybe it'll help save time. Any questions, feel free to ask/write back/PM, etc etc. :)
