The World of Conan - The Shadow of the Sorcerer
Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, Conan | Campaign
About the adventure
FIRST SESSION FREE Come now wanderer and enter an age undreamed of. A time of magic and monsters, and heroes like Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja. A time of sorcerers hellbent on remaking the world in their twisted image. Using Modiphius' award winning 2D20 rule system, it'll be on you to save the prehistoric world with a blend of savage combat and cunning trickery. This promises to be a Sword and Sorcery adventure worthy of any issue of Weird Fiction, allowing you to become a Pulp adventurer that would make even Robert E Howard proud. So grab your gear and prepare to make history, and maybe even some coin. But beware how long you choose to stare into the darkness of Hyboria; as sometimes the darkness stares back...
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

How to prepare
This game will use FoundryVTT's in built video chat system so a functional computer and mic are required, with a webcam being preferred but not essential. This game will also be hosted on the Forge server, so a login to that is required. This can be done for free at the below link: https://eu.forge-vtt.com/account/signup Other than that, just picture your character and prepare for adventure
What I provide
This game will use animations for theatre of the mind, animated battle maps, and music to punctuate the action and build tension. All within one browser interface, along with the video chat. A rule of cool GM with an extensive knowledge of the system and loads of sources to draw from. I also do the voices
Gameplay details
This is a high fantasy setting with evil monsters that will occasionally step outside of the walls of "Saturday Morning Villainy". Every effort will be made to portray these villains as cartoonish and ridiculous but they will not be above resorting to mind games and trickery. This will use both the Luxton Technique and an Open Door policy so that we can create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone
