The Song of Lost Lanora
Here's a Hyborian Age adventure I wrote for the 2d20 Conan game and converted to AS&SH 2e.
I didn't get a chance to make any cool OSR maps for it yet.

Re: The Song of Lost Lanora
I did not, but purchased pdfs of the book and the adventure compilation. I like the ideas behind the scenarios, but they are written with presumptions of player actions and otherwise encourage the DM to move the characters from scene to scene, you know, for the story. I started my Dungeon World campaign with the scenario included in the main book but broke it down into set-pieces and dangers, which took some work, but was better than trying to herd PCs through someone's fan-fiction.

Re: The Song of Lost Lanora
@Jim - That sums up well how I feel about the 2d20 fluff and adventures. Railroad through someones fan fiction (that isn't very good.)
You're lucky you didn't back it all. I went in for way too much and regret it.

Re: The Song of Lost Lanora
Hopefully the next person who gets the license is familiar with how rpgs are actually played and how sentences are actually written.

@Jimm - That made me actually LOL pretty hard. Thanks!
