Howard's Hyborian Age fiction (most know it as the original world of Conan, developed in the 20's and 30's and since abused by countless authors). I am considering starting a RQ campaign (whenever I can find players!) in the Hyborian Age. Has anyone else tried this? If not, do any of you have any suggestions or opinions? It is an ancient world and I think it will fit well with the RQ world. >> Hyboria is a great place to play RQ, but you have to revamp the magic system drastically. All 'cast" magic essentially becomes Ritual magic, taking time and probably lots of magic points from acolytes/captives/whatevers. Ingredients become far more important than they do in most RPGs (though most fantasy fiction emphasizes such complexities), and tossing in healthy doses of astrology can't hurt. Most of the PCs are going to be guys with swords and maybe a magic item. The adversaries are other guys, and demons of one kind or another. Remember the cardinal rule of Howardian demonology. If they are solid enough to hurt you, they are solid enough to be hurt. Good luck with it, hope you find some players!

Yes, I think so. But I add the spell before divide the speed. P.e. An human climb 1 m./A.C. (1/3 mov per asault). If an human cast a Mobility 3 he will climb 2 m./A.C. (that's 1/3 mov per asault).

YGMV. In fact, as I understand it the gods have practicaly no say at all. The Orlanthi at least believe in the compromise of the gods, whereby the gods made a pact that defined the way magic now works. Even excomunicated priests keep their divine magic, but only on a one use basis. This is why divine magic stolen by Vivamorti vampires and Thanatari head-takers works. So Sergio, why does Orlanth deny his magic to slightly naughty Sartarites, but fully endorses it's use by vampires and chaos fiends?

I have no reason to believe that every sailor who knows the spell will want to cast it if they can. You also seem to suggest that a spell caster has -no idea- whether he cast his own spell successfully, or not... I think that is cracked. The captain just casts the spell again until he succeeds. The reason Open Seas has returned sea travel at all is because sailors have confidence that it is safe to leave the harbor.

Both Steve Jackson Games and Chaosium have link pages that list used game sellers. It is usually a better buy, though sometimes you get a steal at auction.
