(Indy sez: Mike Stackpole’s a bud from way back, a former REHupan, great writer and all around good guy. A “Bêlit” series is news to me, but I’m actually looking forward to finding out about it. I guess if we’re gonna have Howard Pastiches, “Make Mine Stackpole!”)    The Worlds of Robert E.

Join members from three established role-playing-game companies discuss the process of turning Howard into gaming magic.

Howard’s World of Horror RPG. Moderated by Bill “Indy” Cavalier, editor of the Robert E. Howard United Press Association. (Indy Sez: I’ll also be presenting some History on Howard’s Influence on the creation of Dungeons & Dragons, the RPG that started it all! It’d be great if Gary Gygax & Dave Arneson showed up!)    A Historical Look at Robert E.
