Bestiary of the Hyborian Age


Book Description

Tales of dripping fangs and ripping claws echo out from around flickering campfires, drawing travellers close together to avoid the beasts that wait just beyond the dim light. Alleyways hide assassins that want more than coin from their victims, and sometimes the movement in the shadows are the shadows themselves. Hyboria is a dangerous place filled with deadly beasts and hungering predators - any of which could spell the epilogue in an adventurer's epic tale at any time. For the first time in the history of the Conan Roleplaying Game all of the creatures, animals, demons and beasts of Hyboria are gathered between two covers. Some will look very familiar, like the Ape Men or the Zombie, but new creatures like the Dark Spawn and the Pictish Hound will give Games Masters a whole new arsenal as well. Compiled together for Games Masters everywhere to unleash upon their players, the Hyborian Bestiary gives over a hundred statistic profiles and plot hooks for the denizens of Conan's world.

Conan and the Spider God


Book Description

Conan is back, and at the top of his form! SFWA Grand Master L. Sprague de Camp was revered in the genre of fantasy for both his fiction and nonfiction. Booklist praised his novel The Honorable Barbarian, saying: "The action is brisk, and the worlds and characters are described with de Camp's deft, light touch . . . thoroughly agreeable entertainment," while Kirkus Reviews said of The Pixilated Peeress "the unassuming style and verve of the telling keep the pages turning. Pure prose junk-food." But more important, L. Sprague de Camp wrote Dark Valley Destiny, the definitive biography of Conan's creator, Robert E. Howard, leaving little wonder as to why Conan and the Spider God is considered one of the finest novels in the canon of Conan. Son of a blacksmith, a former slave and thief, Conan the Cimmerian has risen to the rank of Captain of the Royal Guard. But as usual, trouble is his bedfellow. Forced to kill while defending himself, Conan must flee the vengeance of the High Priest of Erlik. Foraging through field and forest, meeting friend and foe, Conan cuts a bloody swath through assassins and bounty hunters all the way to the sinister temple of Zath, where he encounters the huge and hideous Spider God. Facing certain death, Conan becomes both the hunter . . . and the hunted. Conan and the Spider God is a thrilling adventure of the mighty barbarian, from one of the genre's most revered authors.
