Hyborian Elessar
Mongoose
Fairest greetings, all!
Just wanted to take a brief moment to step forth from out of Lurker Land and let everyone know about a new Hyborian Age/Conan-themed LARP (live-action roleplaying) group starting up in the Atlanta, Georgia (USA) area.
The game system is fairly simple, yet detailed enough to be interesting, and will do its best to simulate the Swords and Sorcery setting of everyone's favorite barbarian-king. Combat will be relatively brutal, cinematic, and "realistic" as possible (within the context of heroic fantasy, of course ;-)), using both foam latex weapons and homemade versions (a.k.a. boffer weapons). Sorcery will be dark, grim, and at times, horrible and twisted, just like in the tales.
Also, the group is non-profit and will utilize an original rules system, so as not to overstep any copyright boundaries or other legalities. As such, we'll be gathering for game-events out of the enjoyment of portraying characters in REH's world, and for few other reasons (save for fellowship, exercise, etc. =)).
At any rate, thought I'd inform everyone on these hallowed boards of this excellent news. The rules are still being developed (heck, we don't even have a name yet!) and we plan to hold our first playtest probably in mid-February.
Please feel free to post or email any questions you might have (rohirricbard@yahoo.com), or join our fledgling Yahoo Group at: groups.yahoo.com/group/AnAgeUndreamedOf.
Many thanks for your time and apologies to Mongoose if this post in inappropriate or otherwise uncool. Hope to see some of you out there when we get underway!
Take care 'til then, by Crom and Mitra! :twisted:

Possible Names: Hyborian Steel, Hyborian Saga, Savage Swords, Savage Steel, An Age Undreamed Of, etc.
