Conan not me

Yep, RSI has a version of a game, with Conan, himself, making special appearances, called Hyborion Wars, pretty cool.

Does anybody remember the world of Conan the barbarian?

Before Atlantis sank?

Robert E Howard (Lin Carter & others) wrote loads of stuff on this subject.

It would make an excellent wargame. No elves, dwarves or goblins, but
nations could invoke their patron god /demon. Thieves should have a role.

Anybody interested, come back.

Richard.

On that point anyone seen any Dune RPG or similar sources? I want to run a
RPG campaign based on it at some point. (Just saw the Dune miniseries).

Yep - acting was worse in my opinion! Everything else pretty much better -
it's on my Christmas list! :slight_smile: I agree - it's something I would love to
design as a PBM Dune game - one of our friends has the rights to Where's
Lies the Power which was a Dune variant which worked well as a hand-mod.
Back to the RPG - like the W40K RPG I think you can do it just needs a
certain perspective. Sam recently ran a reasonably successful political
campaign which I thought not possible to do so that gives me hope.

Clint (should get back to work really)

I agree the acting in the Mini-series was horrible and I hate the way
they basically ignored the soliloques also. I think the way the
director handled the inter struggle within Paul was much better and
closer to the book in the movie than the series, but the movie was a
little whacked as far as the Weirding way was concerned.
