In 1932 Robert E. Howard created CONAN, the greatest character in pulp adventure, changing fantasy fiction forever.

The first Conan story was “The Phoenix on the Sword”, and in it he leapt to savage life. Many stories followed quickly after, mere glimpses into a saga like no other hero had lived. Barbarian and thief, pirate and brigand, mercenary and scout... Conan was all of these things.

He crossed the whole of his world, saw the distant kingdoms to the east and to the south, fought monsters, slew countless foes, braved unimaginable danger, and encountered strange and terrible magic beyond sanity.
Eventually... he became a KING.

Robert E. Howard's Conan Roleplaying Game: AdventuresIn An Age Undreamed Of is a brand new roleplaying game based on this incredible character and world. The team includes industry veterans as well as newcomers, with acclaimed Conan artists such as Brom, Tim Truman, Estaban Maroto, Mark Schultz, Tomas Giorello, Sanjulian, and others...

...all under the watchful eye of world-renowned Conan experts and scholars, working together to bring you the most authentic Conan roleplaying experience yet, focusing exclusively on Robert E. Howard’s original stories.

Featuring Modiphius’ 2d20 game system, also seen in theMutant Chronicles,Infinity, andJohn Carter RPGs, the Conan core rulebook will contain everything you need to play original characters in the Hyborian Age.

Subsequent books will describe the world in additional detail, presenting different styles of play from the phases of Conan’s saga... Thief, Barbarian, Mercenary, Pirate, the Unknown East, Brigand, Kingdoms of the South, Scout... and King.

Other books will explore sorcery, monsters and demons, nameless cults, secret societies and fighting orders, distant lands, ancient ruins, and lost cities. The game line will be supported with a wide range of ready-to-play adventures and campaigns spanning the breadth of Conan’s world.

Modiphius is proud to unveil the brand new cover forRobert E Howard’s Conan: Adventures In An Age Undreamed Of Roleplaying Game
 
Brom is an iconic name in fantasy gaming and literature. Well known for his work on theDark Sun setting forDungeons & Dragons, he also contributed toMagic: The Gathering, Alternity, Forgotten Realms, Planescape andDeadlands. His covers have gracedMichael Moorcock, Anne McCaffrey andTerry Brook’s novels. Brom went on to work as a concept artist for movies likeSleepy Hollow and Van Helsing as well as illustrating DC, Chaos and Dark Horse Comics.
 
When the new Conan roleplaying game was first announced early in 2015, Brom was unavailable but with the delay in launching, Brom was able to fit the cover in to his schedule. The original art by Sanjulian will take its proud place amongst the other mighty covers by Carl Critchlow, Mark Schultz, Tim Truman, Phroilan Gardner, Alex Horley, Tomas Giorello.

Robert E. Howard’s Conan roleplaying game has been in development for the last year and promises all manner of adventure for those who join the Kickstarter launching soon. The campaign will unlock a wide range of high quality full-colour hardback books, each cover featuring a maor Conan artist, accessories including beautiful dice and stunning collector’s items.
 
Jeff Shanks, award-winning Robert E. Howard scholar and essayist (Conan Meets the Academy, REH: Two-Gun Raconteur, Critical Insights: Pulp Fiction, The Dark Man: The Journal of REH Studies, Zombies from the Pulps!) has been hard at work guiding the Modiphius team for the last year.
 
“As a life-long fan of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, as well as an avid gamer, I cannot begin to describe how excited I am to see this project nearing completion. The dedicated and inspired writers and artists that I've been working with over the last year have been pouring their lifeblood into this game to make it something truly special. Howard's original tales of Conan the Cimmerian leap off their pulpwood pages, teeth bared, sword in hand, to grab the reader by the throat and drag them along on a whirlwind adventure of blood and steel, savagery and sorcery. This game captures that essence like no other Conan product has in the 80 years since Howard's death and I am proud to be a part of it. 
 
Over the last year I have worked closely with the talented creators on this project to make sure that this game remains true to Howard's vision of the Hyborian Age -- an age undreamed of -- and I believe that the final product will show that to be case. I have been honored to work together with such legendary artists as Brom, Sanjulian, Mark Schultz, Tim Truman, Tomas Giorello, Esteban Maroto, Alex Horley, and many others to bring the world of Conan to life and I'm so excited that the fans will finally get to see some of their spectacular work. And finally I would like to thank Modiphius for having the courage to make this game the way it need to be made -- respectful of the source material and true to the core of what makes Howard's Conan the Cimmerian one of the great archetypes of fantasy adventure.”
