Message: <blockquote data-quote="Water Bob" data-source="post: 7586685" data-attributes="member: 92305">Ideas from CONAN and the Shadows of the SinnI have been working on a sandbox for 1st level characters that I've titled Conan and the Shadows of the Sinn.  It is set in Argos, near the border with Shem.  The recent 2011 movie, Conan The Barbarian, serves as background for the adventure.  The events depicted in that film took place some three years ago.  I have elaborated quite a bit on the plot, expanding the ideas provided in the film quite a bit.  When I finish it, I may post all of it here for your reading pleasure.  Or, I might write it up as play records.  We'll see.  But, for now, I am just listing some ideas I have in my GM's notebook about the game.  You are welcome to steal these ideas (I've stolen some of it from various places as well as made up stuff from scratch) and warp them to your own needs.  I think of this as neat ideas that might spur on creative thoughts for other GMs and their games.I won't post a lot--just enough information for another GM to grab it and run with it.  Of course, I'll answer questions if you have any.---   ---   ---Ikhtanabu XulSorcerer.  Member of the Cabal of The Sinn.  He served as advisor, teacher, mentor, and elder sorcerer to first to the Witch Queen, Maliva, then to Marique.  Maliva’s power grew to a point to where Xul feared her—feared her power would surpass his own.  Through secret means, Xul ensured Maliva’s capture in the forests of Ophir, where the Witch Queen was burned alive, her husband and child, in chains, watching.Khalar Zym and Marique escaped captivity in Ophir, rescued by the faithful.  The two returned to the Shaipur.Marique’s studies under Xul intensified, though the young girl was no where near at the level of ability of her mother.  Marique became convinced that Xul had her mother killed, and the young girl attacked and killed Xul using a silvered, fork tongued dagger.Marique continued to learn on her own, using Xul’s vast library, but her progress has been slow without the guidance of her mentor.Ikhtanabu Xul ruled from his Red Tower in the city of Sa’leen.  This is in Argos, on the border of the Shaipur.  It is said that the Red Tower fell, completely destroyed, the moment Xul died.Just FYI...Ikhtanabu Xul is a name I nabbed from the adventure The Necromancer's Knife, which is one of the ten adventures included in The Spider-God's Bride.Milo is King of Argos, sitting on his throne in Messantia.Maliva is the dead wife of Khalar Zym in the Conan movie.  I made her "The Witch Queen," thinking that she grew to power first, was burned alive in Ophir, and then was succeed by her husband and child:  Khalar Zym and Marique.Khalar Zym is the bad guy in the 2011 Conan movie.Marique is Zym sorcerous daughter from the 2011 Conan movie.The Cabal of the Sinn is completely my own creation.</blockquote>
