Hi Toothill man.
The Road of Kings is the actual title of the Gazeteer.
As for details, it's a 200 page hardback in full colour, written by Vincent Darlage (winner of an Ennie for his Conan d20 gaming site).

Hey Paul, any chance that this book could be 192 page? Hell, 208 or 224? The Conan book already has a hefty price tag and it seems a pity to increase costs by sitting the final page count at 200.

192 or 208 - both of these would likely come in at around the same price. On the one hand, I could butcher Vincent's text down to fit into a 128 page book. On the other, as a piece of scholarly work on Hyboria and as a game supplement it's excellent. Based on that, we decided to up the page count.

Look at it this way. How many years have people been waiting for a defuinitive gazetteer of Hyboria?

Too long!
I've been waiting for a solid Conan game for around 20 years - as all of my youthful attempts using D&D, Dragonquest, Stormbringer, and the Palladium system never really worked. The TSR version never seemed to show up in the stores I bought games at, and GURPS was far too late, and far too GURPS.

You and me both. To find myself directly involved in this project is a bit of a dream to say the least.

What will really make Conan stand out is the qulaity of the support material. We have some of the top Conan people available working on this.

I feel the same way!
Lets see... I'm 41 ...discovered Conan when I was 13. That would make, roughly, 28 years that I've been waiting.Mongoose Old Bear said:Look at it this way. How many years have people been waiting for a defuinitive gazetteer of Hyboria?

Something interesting must be happening at age 13. I am 33, but was given a couple of Conan books to read (Conan the Adventurer and Conan the Usurper, Ace editions) at age 13.

it seems to be something about the imagination of 13 year old boys
