Comic Books and Graphic Novels » CONAN back at Marvel » 4/13/2019 5:24 pm |
I've not been overly impressed with the new Marvel Conan material, but I've been following the first few issues. Gives me some game ideas, if nothing else.
I did treat myself to their new Savage Sword of Conan Omnibus, and that's just a fantastic collection of the classic magazines - comics, articles, etc.

Mine arrived this morning, out in foggy northern California. All safely packed, and looking very sweet!

My copies arrived the other day (well protected). Very pleased as a backer - very pleased. Love the covers.
Rules Discussion » House Rules? » 1/19/2015 7:08 pm |
So, based on yesterday's one person game, my house rules worked out as:
* Warlock can have a familiar
* Warlock can cast a spell through familiar
* Warlock can make Concentration check and cast through a familiar while paralyzed.
I'm not sure I'd use them long term (esp. that last two), but they worked out well enough for the PC (and just).

The adventure played out really well. All said and done, we went for about three hours - picking up in a nasty dive tavern towards the north end of things, and ending with the PC cashing in on a half-century old unclaimed reward for the head of a necromancer.
The adventure worked well with little embellishment or change-over. As always, a DM's sharp eye is needed to make sure all the descriptions, etc. come together. I used AS&SH monster stats whenever possible (for all of them, I think).
It was pretty tough for a single PC (with one 0 FA hireling).

I'm really glad if it helps you out! I'm looking at using the search for the Necrimancer as a seed in one form or another (him, his crypt, books, etc.). The first PC just rolled up ... Melnebonian ... er, Hyperborean Warlock. ;) Maybe a quest to steal some forgotten, forbidden spell book.

Perfect, thanks Brian! At the moment, I am in need of something just like this and for just this level range, so the timing is perfect. I have used a few different Advanced Adventure modules in the past. Naturally, some are better than others, but in this case, I think it will be a helpful starting point regardless.

I'm flipping through Expeditious Retreat Press' AA25: Beneath the Heart of Empire at the moment. This one seems like a good reskin / reset to AS&SH. It's a sewer crawl beneath a mighty city that's seen better days (and built up over itself).
I think moving it to Khromarium seems easy enough.
General Discussion » A Red and Pleasant Land » 1/13/2015 2:23 pm |
I think Red & Pleasant Land would make a very interesting Dreamlands location in an AS&SH Hyperborian campaign.
