[QUOTE="grufflehead, post: 2749807, member: 35977"] You may have already been to these but for others interested, here are a couple of sites about Gemmell's world(s): [url]http://www.drenai.com[/url] [url]http://www.dodgenet.com/%7Emoonblossom/legendof.htm[/url] (check out the 'Atlas' section in particular which has one interpretation of what the world [I]might[/I] look like) I used to have more but I'm now subject to a webfilter at work, so I can't verify if the others are still active :\ One of my great bugbears about running adventures in popular published milieux is do you have named characters appearing and if so, what if the PCs decide to do something awkward like kill one of them? ;) The first 'official' IH adventure 'Song of the Blade' got mixed reviews as AFAIR it had been written as a more generic fantasy scenario, then shoe-horned into the IH rules - that may actually work to your advantage. 'Dark Harbour' is the first one specifically written for the system and gets good reviews. I plan on getting a copy soon. I did also think about Conan scenarios, and you might like to check out a company called O0ne games - they produced a series of adventures (available on pdf from dirvethrurpg and possibly other places) called "The Legend of the Sttel General", "20 sides of Evil" and "Warriors of Dream". I don't own any but I've seen a comment somewhere that they might be very suitable for a Drenai-type game. O0ne also seem to do some nice encounter maps which are also available quite cheaply on pdf. There's a thread on the IH forums about a new adventure from Goodman games called "To Duel with Dragons" and word of another one called "Warrior Legacy". I hear you :) I seem to spend so much time reading odds and ends (far more than running or playing!) that I also 'lift' from pre-written stuff and adapt to suit the bigger plot I've come up with.
