There is some of the later stuff that's BETTER than the REH stuff, however REH set the stage with his stories that appeared in WIERD TALES, etc. Also, people seem to think that they are reading REH if they get the 10 books edited by Sprague deCamp. Hmmm. Think about it folks. Some of the stories were so completely re-written by de Camp, that you wouldn't recognize them. So, again, REH set the stage. Anything after that is juicy background material, that SHOULD be included in the d20Conan sourcebook and excluded by DM's that don't want it in their campaigns..not the other way around. I'd rather see a sourcebook where there's stuff that I can take out, rather than not having enough to work with (which is what you'll get if you only use the REH stuff).
