Download conversion of "D2 Shrine of the Kuo-Toa" for Conan

[topdogg]

Announcing a free adventure download, "HD2 The Shrine of the Black Ones"! This is an homage to the original classic adventure module, "D2 Shrine of the Kuo-Toa", by Gary Gygax, reimagined for sword and sorcery gaming in Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age using Mongoose’s Conan RPG ruleset.

Many of the original's high fantasy elements have been removed or toned down, but the module should be instantly familiar to those familiar with the classic scenario, as much of the text is verbatim from Gygax's original manuscript. I have turned the subterranean Shrine into a ruined temple on a nameless island, changed the Kuo-Toa into Black Ones, and the Sea-Mother into a tentacled horror from the Mythos.

Check it out today, and let me know what you think! More conversions are coming soon...

That is awesome! I think I may do a conversion of your conversion, if you have no objection!

Not at all. In fact, someone else is doing a "conversion of my conversion" back to AD&D 1st Ed rules (how ironic is that?

By the way, I came across your Sword & Sorcery Saga rules a few days ago, and found it a very interesting read. Well done!

Thanks! It's been a lot of fun to work on. If it takes off, maybe I'll build a web page for it and we can crib stuff off each other!

Too bad. As a European, I had to shake my head in disbelief over the whole "Superbowl Nipple Scandal" thing. Apparently, an RPG book can contain images of monsters, scenes of sacrifice, bloody combat and slaughter, but a nipple (which everyone has, and has seen before!) is something we need to be protected against seeing?

You (not you personally, but your society as a whole) need to loosen up a bit.

Holy hell, is that cool (ample bosoms included )! Unfortunately, my party is at 4th to 5th level, so running it isn't a possibility, but still. Eagerly awaiting the next one.
