Over on Kickstarter one of the greatest ever line-ups of Conan artists has come together under the banner of Robert E. Howard's Conan Roleplaying Game: Adventures In An Age Undreamed Of
Each book in the roleplaying game line promises to be a beautiful high quality full colour hard cover book featuring a major commissioned cover art by one of the legendary names assembled along with truly authentic and evocative content by industry veterans and newcomers...
As you can see some of the big legends have come together like Brom, Joe Jusko, Ken Kelly, Cary Nord, Mark Schultz, Tim Truman, Esteban Maroto, Tomas Giorello, Val Mayerik, Tom Grindberg - the list goes on. There is also a stunning Adventures In An Age Undreamed Of Art Book for £40 which brings together all these works if you don't fancy learning the game.
What you will likely appreciate is that the roleplaying game is being produced under the watchful eye of world-renowned Conan experts and scholars working together to bring you the most authentic Conan roleplaying experience yet, focusing exclusively on Robert E. Howard’s original stories.
This includes:
Jeffrey Shanks, award-winning Robert E. Howard scholar and essayist (The Unique Legacy of Weird Tales, Conan Meets the Academy, REH: Two-Gun Raconteur, Critical Insights: Pulp Fiction, The Dark Man: The Journal of REH Studies, Zombies from the Pulps!).
Patrice Louinet, well known for his expertise and seal of approval for the Conan board game by Monolith, will be working alongside Jeffrey Shanks to ensure the Conan roleplaying game is of the highest standard. Patrice was Editor of the definitive, three-volume Conan series (from Del Rey Books (US), Wandering Star (UK) and Bragelonne (France). Awarded Lifetime Achievement award from the Howard Foundation (USA, 2014) and the Special Award from the Imaginales (France, 2012).
