[QUOTE="JZavoda, post: 6148868, member: 6747561"] As written it doesn't have the huge nation-states at war with one another, but several of the briefly described entries (and the setting is very barebones so a DM can personalize it easily) such as the Witch-Queen's Yitharium, the Kimmerains, and the Picts would suite a Conan style campaign very well. Khromarium (the largest city) could easily hold such adventures a "Tower of the Elephant" and Yitharium is ripe for an adventurer to lead the desert nomads against it reminiscent of "A Witch Shall Be Born". The AS&SH rulesystem is very much like 1eAD&D and I take what I like from it for my own AD&D homebrew and leave what I don't care for. The campaign is a real mix of Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Lovecraft, A.Merritt and assorted pulp writers with some Leiber, Moorcock, etc... mixed in. But as DM you decide what you want to focus on. It is a framework campaign which you, as DM, flesh out. I've been ruthlessly changing it to my liking, but I still have the original framework ideas supporting a good deal of my work on the campaign.
