Fans of my current S&S Adventure Starter (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7cav44145d9a1g2UEdQcmVSUWM/view?usp=sharing) might want to combine it with Jeremy’s gem here for some extra Robert E. Howard action for your own improved version of Conan the Destroyer with some additional screenplay adds by way of Lankmar. Also the humans only playbooks might be a good add: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7cav44145d9dUd3dkM0SERhQTA/view?usp=sharing

“Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky.

“Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky.

“Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the Earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered; and the earth shook. And fire and wind struck down these giants – and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. And we who found it – are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery… You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one—no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts… This you can trust…”

— Conan’s father, touting “The Riddle of Steel”

First Apes, now sharks on the brain. Actually it was a map posted on the internet that inspired this starter, it made me think of Fritz Leiber’s wonderful story “The Sunken Land” and J.E. Holmes charming fan novel “Maze of Peril”. When I’m trapped in a difficult eldercare struggle, this is what keeps me sane…

At least till Cthulhu calls…

Ray Otus’ wonderful new Dungeon World zine Plundergrounds issue #1 Ape City (http://www.patreon.com/rayotus)…

Ray Otus’ wonderful new Dungeon World zine Plundergrounds issue #1 Ape City (http://www.patreon.com/rayotus) inspired me to think how easy it would be to run classic Planet of the Apes adventures with Red Box Vancouver’s Dungeon Planet Dungeon World expansion.

This is the result. Enjoy, you damned dirty apes…

Special Qualities: Undead

A revenant in folklore is an animated corpse that is believed to have revived from death to haunt the living.The word revenant is derived from the Latin word reveniens, “returning” (see also the related French verb revenir, meaning “to come back”).

Medieval European stories of revenants have some common features. Those who revive from the dead are typically wrongdoers in their lifetime, often described as wicked, vain, or unbelievers. Often the revenants are associated with the spreading of disease among the living. The appropriate response is usually exhumation, followed by some form of decapitation, and burning or removal of the heart. Several stories state that revenants drink blood.Revenants are therefore another example of the widespread historical belief in vampires.

Many stories were documented by English historians in the Middle Ages. William of Newburgh wrote during the 1190s, “It would not be easy to believe that the corpses of the dead should sally (I know not by what agency) from their graves, and should wander about to the terror or destruction of the living, and again return to the tomb, which of its own accord spontaneously opened to receive them, did not frequent examples, occurring in our own times, suffice to establish this fact, to the truth of which there is abundant testimony.”
