[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 1300438, member: 10638"] [b]Actual Gaming In Hyboria[/b] Yes, all of the conan stories are back in print. As for GAMING in Hyboria, I can tell you from 20 years of gaming and the past 5 years in Hyboria that it is a grand change from typical D&D. Typical D&D is Tolkien's stuff in the newer likes of Greyhawk, FR, and upcoming Eberron. It focuses on a kind of softer, more politically-correct form of european-centered fantasy. Hyboria is vastly different in that isn't midieval. It's not dark-age. It's ancient. With gods like Baal, Ymir, Crom, Ishtar, Mitra/Mythras, and Yog it represents an age and attitude that is very different from crosses, princesses, unicorns, faeries and elves. I have always run these games more like LotR, Star Wars, Legend, Star Trek, and Princess Bride. Our games thus have elements of an older world. There are races of enslaved peoples working to build the pyramids in Stygia. There power-hungry priests of all gods and wizards who actually are there to exploit the people and who use magic to do so. The world is dusty and scorched. Man is not superior to nature and he cannot forget where he came from. Healing, both magical and natural exists, as do the pleasures of the body and mind. There are adult bases, as well as comic relief, but most of all the world is brutal and unkind. The modern movies that I think are most like our games are: Mummy Mummy returns Scorpion King Indiana Jones Tomb Raider Conan Stargate James Bond Time Bandits Heavy Metal Cowboy movies You can see our house rules and discuss conan games to your heart's content at: [url]www.yahoogroups.com/group/d20conan[/url] The Conan RPG will be due out soon, however it is an OGL system. jh ..
