Modiphius is thrilled to launch the Conan Roleplaying Game: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, where heroes raise blood-spattered swords against dire sorcery, exotic lands beckon to the daring, danger and treasure lurks in forgotten ruins, and where loathsome creatures haunt the spaces beneath the earth… as well as in the throne-rooms of mighty kingdoms.

Comics are a funny thing, as sometimes you’d like to think about certain comic characters coming together, but it seems totally impossible for one reason or another. Yet, in recent years we’ve seen some of the most improbable team-ups ever happen. Batman and Green Hornet teamed up for the second time in history, then Batman met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Justice League is currently teaming up with the Power Rangers,and now, Wonder Woman is about to meet Conan The Barbarian. Yep, this is happening, but what makes this exciting is that this will be written by legendary comic writer Gail Simone, who has done runs with Wonder Woman so great that fans have been begging her to come back and do more with Diana, and now they got their wish. Oh, and she’s happy to do Conan too! “I love crossovers, I love Wonder Woman, and being able to bring the undisputed greatest warriors of the DCU and Robert E.

Conan’s Barbaric Cimmerian Adventure, Bargain Bin Reviews

Review of “Conan” for Xbox 360,   So I thought a series of “bargain bin” reviews might be in order. The majority of gamers find themselves browsing through the 75% off bins, on occasion.   Conan has been most recently portrayed in film by Jason Momoa, however he’s also had successful runs as a Marvel and Dark Horse comic. His origins however stretch further back to the 30’s, a creation of Robert E. Howard’s imagination.
