I remember Mamoa as being a great Conan, but the movie was 1000% awful.

I'm making a d100 pen and paper game tonight out of Howard's world, specifically I'll be throwing the characters into something similar to the Tower of the Elephant. That however brings up the idea of magic. How would you guys handle magic in Howard's world? I don't quite remember any wizard throwing a fireball at someone.

Xotl posted:There was a Hero System setting book that tackled this idea. The idea was magic is slow to use, and costly to the user. There also often involves summoning something powerful to do what you want, rather than actually channelling pure energy to create the result directly. Yeah, since I didn't want to make magic too involved, I gave the character a magic ring that gave him access to three spells novice level spells from the Lore of Metal in Warhammer Fantasy Role Play 2e, that could only be used as long as the ring was in his posession, and he had to roll more dice in order to account for the Tzeentch's Curse table just because I wanted there to be a backfire effect for trying to tap the rings power. Yara the Sorcerer ended up having spells that were aligned with his description as in The Tower of the Elephant, but thankfully they ended up playing that true to how the story ends and not fighting a guy who could gently caress them over in a heartbeat. Two out of the three adventurers ended up falling off the side of the tower as it was falling apart though and died on impact lol. Thank heavens their falling bodies didn't hit the guy who actually survived climbing down the rope!
