Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures In An Age Undreamed Of – Modiphius Entertainment (Late 2016)
I’m pumped about this one and sure we’ll see the same quality as we’ve come to expect from Chris Birch and his team at Modiphius.
From Modiphius Entertainment:
In 1932 Robert E. Howard created CONAN, the greatest character in pulp adventure, changing fantasy fiction forever.
The first Conan story was “The Phoenix on the Sword”, and in it he leapt to savage life. Many stories followed quickly after, mere glimpses into a saga like no other hero had lived. Barbarian and thief, pirate and brigand, mercenary and scout… Conan was all of these things.
He crossed the whole of his world, saw the distant kingdoms to the east and to the south, fought monsters, slew countless foes, braved unimaginable danger, and encountered strange and terrible magic beyond sanity.
Eventually… he became a KING.
Robert E. Howard’s Conan Roleplaying Game: Adventures In An Age Undreamed Of is a brand new roleplaying game based on this incredible character and world. The team includes industry veterans as well as newcomers, with acclaimed Conan artists such as Brom, Tim Truman, Estaban Maroto, Mark Schultz, Tomas Giorello, Sanjulian, and others…
Featuring Modiphius’ 2d20 game system, also seen in the Mutant Chronicles,Infinity, and John Carter RPGs, the Conan core rulebook will contain everything you need to play original characters in the Hyborian Age.
Subsequent books will describe the world in additional detail, presenting different styles of play from the phases of Conan’s saga… Thief, Barbarian, Mercenary, Pirate, the Unknown East, Brigand, Kingdoms of the South, Scout… and King.
Other books will explore sorcery, monsters and demons, nameless cults, secret societies and fighting orders, distant lands, ancient ruins, and lost cities. The game line will be supported with a wide range of ready-to-play adventures and campaigns spanning the breadth of Conan’s world.
The core rulebook for Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of contains everything you’ll need to adventure in the world of Robert E. Howard’s hero, Conan. It is based entirely on the canonical Conan stories, and uses the 2D20 system developed by Modiphius and used in Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition, Infinity, John Carter, and other fine games. This tome presents character generation, the game’s rules, and a wealth of source material, including cultures, geography, religions, magic, gods, monsters, gamemastering advice, adventure seeds, and much more. This work has been developed by an all-star writing team, with close involvement by respected Robert E. Howard authorities, and is illustrated by world-renowned Conan artists.
Full-color hardcover, 368 pages.

Hi Jeff, a couple of months ago I released a new sci-fi RPG which was successfully kickstarted earlier this year – Starguild: Space Opera Noir. About 190 backers have copies, and I’ve had great feedback from them, but as a single person outfit with his first publication, I’ve not been able to get that much exposure for it.
I’ve included a link to the Drive Thru Rpg page for it in the ‘website’ link in this comment, although if you think it would be interesting enough to have a look at in more detail, I’d happily send you a complimentary pdf.
Other information about it is on the starguildrpg.com website too.
I hope you don’t mind me posting this, but you did ask if there were other lesser known RPGs which might benefit from some love 🙂
Cheers
Hi Alex,
By all means, shoot me an email to [email protected] and I’d be happy to peek at Star Guild.
