Know , oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyberborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chilvary, Koth that bordered on the pastorial lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of all the world was Aquilonia, Reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, Black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, A theif, A reaver, A slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jewled thrones of the erth under his sandled feet. Torn from the pages of Howard's original vision, Conan the roleplaying game is a faithful realisation of the vivid world of the Cimmerian barbarian that allows you to follow in his footsetps and crate adventurers, scoundrels and fell Sorcerers in the Hyborian age. Conan the Roleplaying Game features everything you need to explore the lands of Hyboria, including a complete system of character creation and advancement, combat and sorcery. This pocket-size tome details the world of howard's mighty Cimmerian. The world of Conan stands before you. Only the strongest will survive.
