"Co-operative Conan with 'Sellswords & Spellslingers'" Topic

In a year and half filled with dispiriting news and developments, sometimes the world whispers in your ear that not all is destined for despair.

A friend who had had a catastrophic health crisis over two years ago that had left him incapacitated made unexpected contact with me recently. I hadn't heard from him in two years, and assumed I wouldn't again. But the world is a funny place, and his hard-fought recovery not only brought him back from the brink, but brought him across the country to the very city I currently live in.

When I invited him over to the house a couple of Saturday's back for our first-ever game, I wanted to get something on the table that I felt we could pick up quickly and was confident would be fun. I settled on my thoroughly playtested adaptation of the Conan yarn, "Beyond the Black River" using my modified version of the Sellswords & Spellslingers rules. This was the first convention game I had ever run, and I've now GM-ed it at several more conventions. We had a grand time!

You can read at my blog about this unexpected reuniting with a friend and our fun time playing a miniatures game together, a hobby near and dear to both of us.

I love Conan. Thanks for posting.

Thanks. I downloaded your scenarios, curious how much you adapted SS&SS.

Awesome table and minis. Congrats on getting back in contact with an old friend. And thanks for posting.

Exactly what wargaming should be about, good friends and good games.

Thanks for all of the kind words about the post. It felt right to share some good news. Glad folks appreciated it!

Great battle report, really enjoyable to read. What figures did you use for the Picts?
