Conan
 |
Black-haired and sullen-eyed was Conan¸ a thief¸ a reaver¸ a slayer¸ with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth. Cycles of legend revolve around his name¸ glimpses of a world before history¸ where evil wizards performed dark sorcery¸ and where the fate of an empire turned on the strength and skill of a single sword.
GURPS Conan¸ a worldbook for Steve Jacksons Generic Universal RolePlaying System¸ lets you enter the Hyborian Age¸ when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles across the stars... Zamora¸ with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery; Zíngara with its chivalry; Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs; Hyrkania whose riders wore steel¸ silk and gold; and powerful Aquilonia¸ the proudest kingdom of the world.
