Conan, Red Sonja & you face unknown horrors of the Hyborian Age!

Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of | Campaign

About the adventure

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure! You are a true hero of the Hyborian Age. Maybe you're a Cimmerian barbarian like Conan, a swordswoman like Red Sonja, a sneaky thief, a wizened sorceror careful to avoid the darker aspects of the dark arts, or a beautiful Princess forced to flee her lands by an evil usurper! Hyboria is a fascinating world to explore - what do you want your character to face? Ancient horrors, swashbuckling pirates, mysterious and unknowable forces, corrupt kings, a complex quest, or a series of tombs to loot. You could face a sorceror who says unto you thus: "You broke into my house, stole my property, murdered by servants and my pets, and THAT is what grieves me the most! You killed my snake…" You don't need to know the game system. We are going for the FEEL of the Hyborian Age. The mechanics are crunchy in places, but we'll learn it as we play with a focus on the story and your characters and true swords-and-sorcery feel of the world.

A well prepared GM who is quick on their feet. Goes out of their way to help the players and make sure everyone is getting a chance at the spotlight.

Robin is very engaging and articulate, and brings a lot of enthusiasm to each session. She keeps things moving and each session feels like a good use of time. Also, while most GMs on Start Playing lose players over time, Robin's very good at retaining and actually adding players. Looking forward to many more sessions with her.

Robin was very good at managing our gaming sessions. Robin allowed us to make our own choices, despite our party's knack for finding traps the hard way!

How will character creation work

We will create a custom character, together, in a pre-session (free), using the game's character creation system (that you do NOT need to know!), a character that fits your vision within the Hyborian world setting. Hyborian characters are considerably more capable than the regular person (this game does not have "levels" but you might think of starting as sort-of 3rd level in a D&D sense- you're not a beginner).
