Although I don't doubt it can be done, especially with the amount of money on the table that could be gained by pulling it off, you do make some excellent points.

And, the entire first season of Daredevil on Netflix saw Kingpin involve himself in the feast for building contracts after the Avengers leveled New York City in the movies.

CONVERSIONS TO THE MONGOOSE CONAN GAME Keep an eye out. There are lots of single adventures out there that may make for good conversion to the Conan RPG. Historical adventures usually work well, and most fantasy game universes where the players races are only human. Low level adventures...

What you say is correct, I'm sure. Those reasons aside, it's still a big missed opportunity. Continuing a plot or theme through several movies (or, in this case, between TV show and movie) does take coordination, but as the new Marvel movies are proving, when done well, the public likes it...

Just stumbled across these films. Mythica. Evidently, there's a ton of them. Looks like crap. Looks very "D&D", though. In the first trailer, the chick says, "I need a thief." Kevin Sorbo is in some of them (maybe all of them, I'm not sure). They remind me of those cheapie 80's sword &...

THE LOST LANDS There are several adventures set in The Lost Lands. Some of the largest dungeons ever created, like Rappan Athuk, find their homes in these lands. Many are published under the Sword & Sorcery label. Most are written for Pathfinder. Now, hold onto your axe...take a...

MIDGARD Another setting to watch for adventures that can be translated to Mongoose's Conan RPG. It uses Pathfinder rules, so mechanical conversion is relatively easy. You'll have to take out the more fantastic elements of the universe and the non-humans. Blurb: If you wanted to...

I did get it right. Where am I wrong? There's a throw away line for Picard to be somewhere else besides the Dominion War. Picard has been relegated to a diplomatic role. That's exactly what I was talking about. The Entierprise is sent out to BFE when we could have had a superb Trek War...

RUNNING GAMES IN ARGOS IV ARGOSSEAN WOMEN -- See the "Chastity" post up-thread. -- Women outnumber the men in Argos. -- Women are charge with traditional Hyborian female tasks in cooking, baking, sewing, weaving, spinning, cleaning and the like. But, Argossean are also trained at arms...

No, it was Insurrection. There was a throwaway line in that film as to why the Enterprise is not in the Dominon War. I'm saying that it was a big missed opportunity that a Trek movie based on the Dominion War should have been made in place of Insurrection. Picard should be fighting the...

The real missed opportunity was Star Trek Insurrection. That movie came out right in the heat of the Dominion War shown on DS9. It was an opportunity to connect the TV and the movie--to have a Trek movie about WAR! All kinds of Trek morality problems could have been presented--those awesome...

RUNNING GAMES IN ARGOS III The People and Education -- Most people in Argos are illiterate. Often symbols, runes, and pictograms are used. -- There are no formal schools or academies in Argos. Children are taught according to their parent's means. -- Wealthy merchants and the nobility...

BEASTS & BARBARIANS B&B is an all-human game world where the atmosphere and tone would fit well with a game set in Conan's Hyborian Age. But the rules have to be completely replaced as Savage Swords it not compatible at all with Mongoose Conan. There are gladiators in the setting, and a...

PRIMEVAL THULE Another game that can be mined for Conan adventures is Primeval Thule. On the one hand, the setting uses non-humans, so those will have to be converted to humans (probably of different races). But, on this hand, the game has a Pathfnder version, which makes mechanics an easy...

MYTHIC BRITIAN LOGRES This is a setting supplement for the Mythras RPG, so it's not that helpful for a GM running a Conan game. But, if there are any adventures ever written for this setting, they'd probably be worth a look. Historical settings are very easily translated to the Hyborian Age.

XAMOXIS' CLEANSING Here's another Mythras adventure that I think would make a good Conan adventure. The blurb says: I bet this one would fit well in Argos, Aquilonia, or Nemedia. The shaman-assassins? I'm in! The panthotaurs? Lots of choices with them. Make them something...

KHAKUN SHRUGS This looks to me like a good adventure waiting to be converted to the Hyborian Age. Here's the blurb: I haven't read through this adventure, but just this had raised my eyebrow. Silver mines. Barbarians. Colonists. Mountains. Sounds like a great adventure for the...

MYTHRAS Another game world that I think would make for a good conversion to Conan is Mythras, especially for adventures set in Hyborian kingdoms (Argos and Corinthia--since those are ancient Greek flared kingdoms). For those that don't know, Mythras is the new name for RuneQuest 6. I guess...

SCARRED LANDS - THE SERPENT AMPHORA The set that I have that I think will work well with Conan, after Conanizing it, is the Serpent Amphora Cycle. Prequel: Serpent Amphora (a free short adventure available at DriveThurRPG). Trilogy Part 1: Serpent in the Fold Trilogy Part 2: The Serpent...

My preference for the various series actually go in order of production date. 1. Star Trek 2. Star Trek: The Next Generation 3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Excellent once Worf comes on and the Dominion War heats up) 4. Star Trek: Voyager (missed opportunity) 5. Enterprise (another...
