Watched Conan the Barbarian last night. It’s a comfort watch for me (don’t judge).

Still don’t understand why Arnold needed to punch the camel, though. Would love to know the story behind that acting choice.

"Conan, what is best in life?"
"To crush the establishment. See the fair wages come to you. And hear the lamentation of Republicans."

started a new series and "Ravaging" Ron De La Torre's art looks a lot like the good ole Big John Buscema's. Back to the 70s in 2023.

Bound in black stone part 1: Scourge of the dead

#1 has a gazillon covers including a homage to the first issue back in the 70s, but that and most seems to be sold out now with no backorder option (or so I was told).

Einblicke zu Schätzen 4:

Lustigerweise hab ich gerade erst festgestellt, dass meine ganzen Bücher der Reihe von Heyne um 1985 alle ein Foto von auf dem Cover haben. Und das mir als Fan von . Wie konnte das nur passieren, wo es doch unzählige passende Kunstwerke gegeben hätte? 😆

@OskarGhoti @Ghastwood my favourite part of is that you can play it so many different ways, and the rules exist to provide structure and not to trap you. Personally, I love when a DM describes the combat in lurid detail, giving every dice roll a meaning and telling a story. A good example of how an exciting combat encounter can go is chapter 5 of the first story, The Phoenix on the Sword.

coping - the top, typically sloping, course of a brick or stone wall

Stygian - adjective form of "Styx," as in the river; very dark

from Howard's Conan series, where the Stygians are a people, and from Lovecraft's Dagon, where I realized it wasn't just a region in the Hyborian Age.

diadem - a type of crown; a headband worn especially as a symbol of royalty. Originally, embroidered white silk ribbon worn by kings and victorious athletes. Later, a metal band or ring worn around the head, with the "fillet" form. Tiaras are also called diadems.

from Howard's Conan story The God in the Bowl. Conan, and others, seek the diadem of the giant-kings.
