Quote from: darthfozzywig;1030840Old D&D modules made for this include:

B4 The Lost City - this is basically Red Nails, so perfect for Hyborian Age

I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City - again, pretty much perfect for this

CB1 Conan Unchained - AD&D Conan adventure. Railroady, but still has some good stuff

I3 Pharaoh - literal sandbox, as it's in the desert. The latter two in the series are more railroady, but this one would be great in Stygia

B6 The Veiled Society - works for a trade city in Argos or Zingara

D2 Shrine of the Kua-Toa - another "lost city filled with creatures from a bygone era"

L2 Assassin's Knot - could reskin the location for Zamora pretty easily

N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God - set it anywhere in Hyboria with honest folk falling under sway of a Naga out of Stygia's past

X1 Isle of Dread - anywhere in the seas. Perfect as-is.

X2 Castle Amber - hear me out! This one is all based on Clark Ashton Smith, a contemporary of Lovecraft and Howard. It's weird, but hey, why not?

Great list!

Quote from: Malrex;1030800I may be biased, but The Red Prophet Rises. Bryce Lynch said it was Conan on 11.

The description certainly sounds Conanish.  Tell Lynch his review sold you a copy.

There was a pastiche novel set in the Border Kingdom with a locally worshipped Bull God, IIRC.
Any connection - inspiration/riff/shout-out/whatever?

Oh, and Welcome!

Hmmm..its possible it inspired my co-author. I had started off with a Blood Cult but he said it was too much like Warhammer or Warcraft or something so he suggested the bull theme and we ran with that. The main things that inspired me about the adventure was the artwork of the cover and the centaur on the back cover. Then things blew up and through Dean Spencers (great artist) patreon I was able to get some of the other art pieces for the interior. Art is always what inspires me for my patreon and bigger adventures.
Sorry, didnt mean to hijack the OP's thread. Darthfozzywig's list looks pretty spot on too.

Quote from: Teodrik;1030880Great list!

Happy to help. This topic is near and dear to my heart.

No worries, it's a thread about Hyborean adventures, if you think yours fits, it's fair game.
Besides, for this place, that's not a thread jack.

Quote from: JeremyR;1029571Eh, Alphonso Warren is widely considered just about the worst OSR module writer there is, because he writes them as stories, not adventures. Among a number of Advanced Adventure atrocities, he also wrote an awful adaption of A. Merritt's People of the Pit.

.

I have no knowledge of this guy's backtrack. But the adventure I mentioned does not seem to be anything more than a traditional lost city-dungeon crawl with no real overarching story or plot except from "here be serpent people...". But I've only skimmed it over yet.


Otherwise Freeport and the Necromance Games/Sword&Sworcery/Frog God Games stuff is all good suggestions. I have before thinking about doing something with Abberations.

Seems to have a good Hyborian Age vibe.

Isn't pretty much anything S&S a hyborian age usable module?

Quote from: RPGPundit;1031556Isn't pretty much anything S&S a hyborian age usable module?

Well, since Howard more or less invented the whole genre as he went along, yes anything S&S might be of interest. Though since Hyborian Age does have a bit of pseudo-historical touch I think that too much gonzo is harder to work around. And things of more grand cosmic scale, like Elric for example, makes it harder to adapt.

Excessive gonzo, yes. But Conan certainly stands up to a bit of gonzo.

No one mentions Tunnels and Trolls?  Most of the Solo Adventures seem to have an S&S vibe.  I'm personally fond of A Sworded Affair and Naked Doom, but any should suffice, I figure.

Quote from: Teodrik;1029563So I would like to hear your suggestions of adventure modules fitting to use with the hyborian age setting. Stuff already published by Mongoose and other licensed Conan stuff, things published on xoth.net (lots of good stuff, check it out!) etc. needs no mention.

Preference to stuff fitting for conversion with OSR games like old TSR modules, anything interesting from the d20 boom perhaps, or just anything else that general fit in regards of tone and setting.

Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea has several modules that are quite good:  http://www.hyperborea.tv/products.html and you can do far worse than to mine reviews from Melan for ideas @ http://beyondfomalhaut.blogspot.com/search?q=review (in general I think you'll find more OSR adventures that fit the S&S criteria than d20/3.x/4e stuff).  

In terms of good, worthwhile content from the 3.x/d20 glut, if you've not checked out the best titles from Necromancers Games you should (Wizard's Amulet/Crucible of Freya, Tomb of Abysthor, Vault of Larin Karr, Bard's Gate, Demons & Devils), and you might look for some of the other good d20 publishers:  MonkeyGod Enterprises (Black Ice Well), Wyvern's Claw Designs (The Watchers series; solo city adventures for a thief PC), Valus (regional campaign setting from Different Worlds), Paizo's pre-Pathfinder "PaizoHawk" Greyhawk APs were good (Shackled City, Age of Worms) along with many of their other Greyhawk Adventures (see my index at So I would like to hear your suggestions of adventure modules fitting to use with the hyborian age setting.
