[RQ-Rules] Harn+ Hyborea

[Tony Den]

Dungeon Dweller wrote of a campaign based in Robert E Howard's hyborian Age.

I couldn't agree more. I ran a brief Hyborian adventure years back and it
was quite a success. It really lends itself to RQ with the kind of old
ruins etc that Conan always comes across. Interestingly, i just ran a
battle with my current group and pinched one of the classic ":ghouls start
coming from everywhere" settings which Conan comes across a few times.

A suggestion - its a bit unethical but what the hey. there is a PBM called
Hyborian War, run by Reality Simulations Inc. (They used to advertise on
the back of Savage Sword of Conan comics). I had a bash at it but it
didn't quite work out for me with overseas mailing etc (days before
internet and e-mail hit it big and before i had a credit card). But I
digress. If you start a game of Hyborian war, you get a free startup pack,
which includes notes on the setting and a really cool BIG map of the
world. May be worthwhile looking into.

BTW - I have some Harn gear, but have never played there. Worse, my
brother now wants us to paly Harnmaster instead of RQ!
