Been looking forward to this one: CONAN: BLOOD OF THE SERPENT is Steve Stirling’s latest, and it’s finally out. Obviously, it’s a Conan story: it has Valeria in it, and the publisher included “Red Nails” in the book so you can read it next. I’ve read far enough into it already that I figure I’m going to highly enjoy the rest.

Modiphius losing Conan RPG license December 31st.
I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, here. It might simply be that Modiphius isn’t interested in doing further Conan RPG material. Or maybe there’s something else going on. At any rate: if you buy the game already, now is the time to finish your collection. They plan to have their stock emptied by June of 2023.

Shock and Amazonment: 3rd edition GURPS supplements that I don’t have!
GURPS CONAN THE WYRMSLAYER, GURPS CONAN AND THE QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST, and GURPS CONAN: MOON OF BLOOD. All of which were available for considerably less than usual, he said after getting the order confirmation email. I really need to go through my GURPS collection and get it properly sorted, though.

Book of the Week: Conan, The Definitive Edition.
Well, a definitive edition. The one I use has been replaced with a new Conan, The Definitive Edition. Ironic, that. The stories remain quite good, though – which is really why I’m rereading them.
ENOUGH TALK*! Netflix to do Conan the Barbarian series.
Whee!
Netflix has put in development an epic live-action series based on Conan, the iconic sword-and-sorcery character created by writer Robert E. Howard…
…the project, from Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler’s Pathfinder Media, is the first in a deal between Netflix and Conan Properties International, owned by Malmberg’s Cabinet Entertainment. The pact gives Netflix the exclusive option to acquire rights to the Conan literary library and develop works across TV and film, both live-action and animated.
This is what is good in life.

The Kickstarter finally coughed it up. I enjoyed it: aside from everything else, you can always tell when somebody’s really a fan, and Rachel Kahn is really a fan of Robert Howard’s Conan stories. That gives her work a strength that I can relate to. Plus, Conan is actually giving her good advice! …Because the character was not, in fact, stupid. Which is something that I wish that Howard’s imitators understood better.
I’d say “Putin the Barbarian”…
…except that Russians get damned touchy about even the suggestion that they’re not as civilized as everybody else; and I while I don’t know whether they’re checked out on the Conan
Not bad; but you forgot the greatsword slung behind one shoulder, Vladimir.
