"Last Kings of Alantha" is, as previously announced, a stand-alone sword and sorcery adventure module, written as an homage to Robert E. Howard's short story "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth", which has it all: swords, sorcery, intrigue, mystery, monsters, and themes of civilization versus barbarism. And...

Nice, thanks for the tip! (y) I googled his name, and the first thing that pops up is a new adventure called "Lovely Jade Necropolis", inspired by the writings of Clark Ashton Smith. I will definitely have to check this out! :)
