Turan and Shem - Need Adventures!

[quigs]

I'm GM'ing a game next week and I need a good module/conan story to run as an adventure for my group of 2. We're using Savage Worlds as the ruleset and my players wanted to stay in Shem or Turan after finishing The Coming of Hanuman.

So far, the only stories I found were "A Witch Shall Be Born" and "Iron Shadows of the Moon"

Are there any others out there I could use? They don't need to be by REH necessarily (although his are preferred).

Reavers of the Vilayet

Conan Unchained

both take place in Turan. I don't know how advancement works in Savage Worlds, but they're 5-7th level adventures in d20.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch! This is exactly what I needed, although I found Reavers myself immediately after posting this thread, doh!

Unchained seems like a logical choice for the group to begin with, then I plan to use Reavers after it, then Iron Shadows of the Moon to finish off this region. Then it's on to Khauran!

And SW uses a very vague progression of 5 "ranks" for characters. Each rank corresponds to about 4 d20 levels, so the group will still be "Novices" when they start Unchained, but could very well reach "Seasoned" by it's end.

Ancient Kingdoms:Mesopotamia from Necromancer Games (and written by our good ol'Thulsa! :wink fits perfectly in the shemite eastern desert and makes a wonderful Conan adventure.

The REH stories Hawks Over Shem and Black Colossus contain some good material about Shem and its peoples. They can both be found in Conan the Freebooter. :wink:

Thanks guys! My players are part way into Conan Unchained! and they are definately worried After being attacked by shadow monsters and captured by the Kozaki (and subsequently escaping during a Turanian attack) they are now practically naked in the steppes of Turan, with only a few waterskins, some blankets and rugs, a targe, and a couple scimitars.

I have a feeling though that they are planning an attack on the Kozaki, as one of the players was asking about Karaz and his fighting style.

Excellent!....... :twisted: Heh-heh-heh!

I had a great time with CB1, which is for me the best hyborian campaign starter so far. When I ran it I fleshed out each chapter so the characters spent some time as mercenaries soldiers for the Turanian army, then they went nomads with the Kozakis before turning pirates with the Brotherhood. I added a couple of side adventures in each chapter and the whole stuff was really Conanesque ! with its meager 30 pages or so, CB1 held my party for nearly a year of campaign play!

While they roam the Vilayet, you can still send your players to Xapur, the island of Khosatral Khel, from The Devil In Iron story.

There's room enough for a bold warrior to take Tarlas'place as the Hetman, but I feel this must be done the Kozaki way, not slimply by butchering him or Karaz. I just hope your players don't plan to storm the whole tribe in a frontal assault! In my campaign, the heroes spent some time as slaves in the Kozaki camp before they were judged worthy of joining the tribe. From there, they were Kozaki and thus tried to climb the ladder to the Hetman position.
Strangely enough, the chapter with the Red Brotherhood follows quite the same pattern.

That's sounds awesome! As you say, VERY Conanesque.

I fell totally in love with CB1 when I read it, but unfortunately that was after I had already started my campaign and had gotten hip deep in other story lines. Perhaps I'll swing my campaign in that direction down the road, and if not, then it would be a great place to start my next Conan campaign!

I wrote an adventure which is set in the Kharamun desert called "Night of the Jackal". The full synopsis is in another post and was edited into better format by Aholibamah. There are a couple of posts between the two of us explaining our thoughts and opinions on how the adventure could be made better. I have no idea how to set up a link from here(fairly computer illiterate ). I will however "bump" the original thread and hopefully this time it will not be spammed. :x
Anyway,I hope you enjoy it.
I did write several others way back in the mists of time, "The Veil of Ashtoreth" and "The Moon Gods Isle". Both were set in the Turanian sphere of operations.The latter is still on the boards somewhere.

 

[Hervé]

I managed to get The Moon God Isle and Night of the Jackal (I really love this one!)back then, but I've must have missed The Veil of Ashtoreth. Did you post it on this forum?

 

[tarkhan bey]

Thanks Herve. I only ever put a very brief synopsis on the forum. The Veil of Ashtoreth was the first one I wrote and it was back when the Conan RPG first came out. It was in the first ever few pages of this forum but is long since gone. If I get a chance I will repost it in the next few weeks. As well as the usual Conanesque shennanigans, it has an attempt in it to give origin to the worship of the Shemitish pantheon and the birth of the Shemites as a race. It may not be to everyones taste(Howard scholars and purists mainly) as it works on the assumption that the deities of the Hyborian Age are real entities.
