[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 7124544, member: 92305"] [b]SCARRED LANDS - THE SERPENT AMPHORA[/b] The set that I have that I think will work well with Conan, after Conanizing it, is the Serpent Amphora Cycle. [b]Prequel: Serpent Amphora[/b] (a free short adventure available at DriveThurRPG). [b]Trilogy Part 1:[/b] Serpent in the Fold [b]Trilogy Part 2:[/b] The Serpent and the Septer [b]Trilogy Part 3:[/b] The Serpent Citadel [img]https://static1.squarespace.com/static/560969c0e4b0a76350dc96ab/560d5cb7e4b0db2bbb87f524/562fc9b7e4b0081d8c769c3e/1445972408140/SL+The+Serpent+in+the+Fold.jpg?format=500w[/img] They're written for 3rd Edition D&D, so they are easy to covert mechanically.

The mythology and sorcery in the adventures seem to me easy to translate into a cult and a witches and a powerful sorcerer. It would take some work and imagination, like any conversion, but I think there's a lot there to make an excellent Hyborian Age adventure out of the set (pardon the pun!). [/QUOTE]
