My Rating “Red Sonja” The Hyrkanian City-State of Razadan was notorious for the thieves’ guild who influenced everything from commerce to politics within the crumbling walls of the dominion. A reputation rightly earned and sung about in taverns as far away as the port city of Kyros. So, when key figures inside the larcenous sodality […]
My Rating “The Conquering Crown – Part 01: The Implausible General” The lands of Aquilonia continue to deteriorate under the maniacal leadership of King Numedides. While Count Trocero of Poitain attempts to strengthen ties with Tarantia, to the west, King Ferdrugo De Ramiro III of Zingara plots to overthrow the mad king. If Poitain does
My Rating “The Nomad” A stranger has come to the gates of Tarantia seeking council with the King of Aquilonia. Yet, the Black Dragons – the ordained defenders of the city, bar his entrance as they would any common vagrant. There would be no audience with Conan or his royal vassals that day. So the
My Rating “A Nest Of Serpents – Part Four: The Nest Breath ” Sorcery can be a powerful ally if one chooses to employ it. For Conan, he despised the practice no matter who wielded it. So, when the Darfarian shapeshifter known as Zula clutched a magic amulet around his neck, Conan’s face turned sour.

My Rating “The Tower Of The Elephant!” The Heart of the Elephant, what mystery does it hold? According to the loudmouth Zamourian, drunk on Artesian wine, immortality. Or, was it the key to Yaga’s sorcery? Conan was going to find out. A tavern brawl erupted from a nearby table, giving Conan the opportunity to slink
My Rating “A Nest Of Serpents – Part Three: Power And Influence” A life debt is a powerful thing to hold over anyone’s head. To have such an obligation, even for one such as “Amra Of Akbatana”, can take a lifetime to repay. Fortunately for Conan, his savior is tasked with destroying the voice of
My Rating “A Nest Of Serpents – Part Two: Diamond In The Dirt” Into the pit! Conan is now a slave of the Stygian sorcerers of Keshatta, and they want his blood for their grizzly entertainment. As the barbarian locks weapons with a behemoth gladiator, the roar of the crowd fills the arena with fresh
My Rating “Darby O’Gill And The Little People” Lord Fitzpatrick has arrived in the village of Rathcullen to acclimate his new caretaker to the duties in which he will be employed. As you see, over the past few years the Fitzpatrick Estate has fallen into a bit of disrepair. Tis not due to neglect nor
My Rating “The Crimson Calypso” Hyboria has as many legends as it does heroes. Some are celebrated through song and poetry, while others are mere whispers, passed like vagabonds from lip to ear. In one such susurration, a warrior; nay a she-devil with a sword, would find herself entangled by half-truths and treachery. This is
