[QUOTE="amethal, post: 2715402, member: 22784"] Iron Heroes would be a good fit. Its designed for a game where magic is rare, and generally in the hands of the bad guys. Heroes can expect to have little to no magic items (and any they do have will have horrible disadvantages attached to them) but will nevertheless be required to fight demons and sorcerers. The drawback to Iron Heroes is that a surprising amount of it is (on the face of it) closed content, but its hard to tell because they say things like (I'm exaggerating somewhat for effect) "All of chapter 6 on the effects of wind and snow, fighting underwater and sundering weapons is closed content, except for anything which is already open game content because its in the SRD." This may well not be an issue for you, but Malhavoc's unhelpful starting position regarding open game content would put me off basing anything on Iron Heroes. [Possibly if you write to them and ask nicely they'll happily grant you permission to do anything you like with Iron Heroes. I don't know.] I'm not sure how much or how little of that also applies to Conan (which is by Mongoose, isn't it?), as I don't have it. I have an idea that Conan is OGL rather than d20. [/QUOTE]
