(Though I'd swap Kusan for Kosala personally, not a fan of Kusan) The question is, should the Hyborian map stay the same, or should the world turn into "modern" Europe with Hyborian outlines? Decisions, decisions.<br /><br />I am indeed familiar with DAR, it's distilled brilliance. I'm actually looking about the many different RPGs out there, they seem to be more imaginative than most books that come out these days.Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-62747155883448917442010-09-26T05:03:35.457+01:002010-09-26T05:03:35.457+01:00Another thing to consider is that the Napoleonic E...Another thing to consider is that the Napoleonic Era was 'just' after the Golden Age of Piracy - I can totally see BĂȘlit and Conan commanding a 40-gun frigate against the Aquilonian East Kusan Company, flying a flag that bears a suspicious resemblance to a Frazetta painting.<br /><br />Also, for even wackier fun, you could try mixing two or more of the above - for example, Post-Apocalyptic + WWII gets you something not to dissimilar to 'Day After Ragnarok' (which you may have blogged about before, either way I'm sure you've heard of it).T.
