Since i get much inspiration from this forum, i tought it might be time to give something back. I´m about to start a small campaign in the Black Kingdoms this summer, using the old Mongoose D&D rules, perhaps in the Microlite version. For miniatures i take everything i can get my greedy hands on.

Since some things will be recycled for other projects, so bases will not always fit, buildings could be done better, etc. Especially if the short campaign will be a success, there might be a follow up with a short campaign in Cimmeria or Aquilonia and i dont want to start all over again.

I started a blog, so i can keep all the information together for ease of my players. The adress is http://hyboriaadventures.wordpress.com. I´m sorry that it is in german , but posting in english would take away more time from painting and building.

Here are some pics, from things i have done so far:

Will be sending away a sculpt tomorrow which might fit with your project.When I get a casting back and painted I will post the picture.

Good start to the project.There are loads of miniatures which would fit.Looking forward to seeing what else you post.

I love seeing Conan inspired stuff.

I'm really tempted to start a project myself.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your welcome!

If you have any questions, i will gladly try and answer them in english. I now how well bablefish or Google translates texts to other languages.

Today i added 2 articles of the technical kind. One about stripping miniatures of old paint and another about how to use childstoys for serious playing.

Thumbs up for your project. The Conan setting is very interesting and I hope to see more of your progress in the future. Your pics so far look very goodd´.

Nice work. Who makes the Archer?

Very nice - managed to resist the urge when Matakishi was doing his Conan thing and am getting sorely tempted again. Might have to make do with reading a few more Conan novels for now!

Where did the apes come from?

All I wanna know is

Will there be a giant Snake or snake temple?

@Faust I´m afraid your chances to get the archer are pretty slim. He was done in 1988 by Hobby Products a german company that no longer exists.

I´ve got some of the miniatures by that firm when i started roleplaying. I later learned, that they had their office just down the street from where i life now.

@Thantsants The apes are from www.obeliskminiatures.com, another german company. They didn´t do any new models lately, but you can still get their miniatures. They have some nice baboons and hyena too, but a crappy homepage.

@Cherno At first i wanted to go with a spider theme. I even got a cool spider demoness miniature, but spiders are not that typical for Conan. He either fights other humans, snakes or winged apes. Sooo, i will have to build a snake temple, yes.

I will probally build an actual temple building and a dungeon beneath to explore.

Great start to your new project. I eagerly await seeing more stuff. Interesting that you started in the Black Kingdoms rather than the obvious more northerly kingdoms.

luidinuovo · « **Reply #12 on:** April 08, 2012, 12:56:15 PM »

I like,more.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The motherf*****g snakes are done, so we can start gaming!

I turned this:

into this:

Toy rubber snakes with a little inspiration from google picture search.

@Scurv Sounds great! I will look out for them. Last friday i got some more Hobby Products minis, even a forest giant, that was really cheap. Will post a picture of him, when we reach the nothern kingdoms.

@Odo The idea to start in the Black Kingdoms came to me, because i wanted to reuse some of the terrain or miniatures in other games. I´m playing Haqqislam in Infinity the Game, so i can use the buildings with a little touch of scifi there too. The jungle terrain will be used in Freebooters Fate for the amazons. Saves a lot of time that way.
