Minoan Tauran Brigand

Sold to nomadic mercenaries as a child, Boreas’ developed into a hardened veteran. He fought in the throne room of the Naga King during the Battle of the Serpent Kingdoms. He served alongside Andamen soldiers to cull ghoul hordes in the Great Darkness War. Yet it was not until Boreas shipwrecked along the shore of a Mediterranean temple that he experienced freedom. Recovering from his injuries the Minotaur adventured across Europa, eventually discovering the truth behind his enslavement.

Atlantis: the Second Age, is a tabletop role-playing game published by Khepera Publishing. It falls within the same genre as Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, published by Modiphius Entertainment. The rules in Atlantis are notably more time consuming to resolve than Conan; however that complexity facilitates player character diversity. Khepera Publishing also tackles integration of unsavory setting elements (such as drugs, incest, and slavery) more directly than Modiphius Entertainment.

Conan of Cimmeria

Posted on: by: Comments: Leave a comment
Conan of Cimmeria

Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, is a tabletop role-playing game published by Modiphius Entertainment, based upon the iconic barbarian and legendary world created by Robert E. Howard. Each major sourcebook features a short section entitled, “Hihter Came Conan…“, which catalogs an evolving character sheet for the Cimmerian. Chronologically this begins with Conan the Thief and ends with Conan the King.

Interesting enough, Conan has an illegal build, even if one ignores talents not cited elsewhere in the product line (except his character sheets). In addition, Conan, as featured in Conan the Thief, is not an example of him at his earliest start. The entry has applied dozens of experience points. I made an attempt to extrapolate an inexperienced version of Conan, based on “Hihter Came Conan…” without the house rules. One who is a young man yet to begin the world spanning adventures that transform him into a timeless legend.

“Jack of all trades, master of none,” describes the Modiphius framework for their Conan. Strong an ox, multiple skills, decent swordsmanship; but lacks charisma and fails to dominate in combat.

◾ Uncivilized: Conan suffers one step of Difficulty in Social tests when dealing with people from more civilized countries. On the other hand, his Upkeep cost is reduced by 2 Gold. (CONAN the Barbarian, page 7)

Corvus the Sagittarii

Posted on: by: Comments: Leave a comment
Corvus the Sagittarii

A man of seething spite, Covus survived unbroken decades on the battlefield. The bastard son of an Aquilonian soldier, he was abandon amongst militiamen as an infant. Raised to master the Bossonian bow, Covus became an archer whose exceptional marksmanship has slain many bandits and invaders from safe distance. Even as he approaches advance age, his sharp vision and steady precision remains undiminished.

In “retirement” Corvus become an adventurer. He does so not for wealth, not to witness wonders of the world, but to find purpose. Did the gods intend him to be an inconsequential nobody history casts aside and forgets? In truth, Covus already knows the cruel answer. Yet stubborn pride refuses to accept fate. Thus he travels across distant seas and far continents, in search of immortal glory.

Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, is a tabletop role-playing game published by Modiphius Entertainment, based upon the iconic barbarian and legendary world created by Robert E. Howard. This adventurer meets all five requirements to qualify as a Bossonian Archer (CONAN the Scout, page 28) at campaign start.

◾ Bossonian Archer: When using a Bossonian bow, add the Fearsome Quality to Corvus’ attacks. Conversely, any other type of bow feels wrong to Corvus, and when using such a bow his Difficulty is increased by one step. (CONAN the Scout, page 17)
◾ Hunter: When in the rural parts of the Bossonian Marches, the number of successes required for any Survival tests Corvus attempts is reduced by 1, even if this reduces the Difficulty of the test to Simple (D0).

◾ Regimented: Corvus may reroll any failed d20s when attempting Society or Command rolls with military non-player characters, but must accept the results of the second roll.

Aslan the Siegebreaker

Posted on: by: Comments: Leave a comment
Aslan the Siegebreaker

The wealth Aslan’s parents believed their daughter would inherit, were seized through treachery before she was born. Her mother successfully fled the betrayal, though died delivering her first and only child into destitution. Aslan was raised in poverty by sympathetic outcasts; left with only a torn scroll as connection to the past. While immensely grateful to her adoptive caretakers, such life diminished opportunities to reclaim her birthright.

Aslan eventually joined a troop of Turanian mercenaries, possessing colossal strength and exceptional unarmed fighting. Her moment of glory occurred during the siege of a Hyrkanian fortress. In heroism unseen since Acheron and Atlantis, she alone brought down its vaunted impregnable gates. As reward Aslan was released from compulsory enlistment.

Shou the Bladesmith

Posted on: by: Comments: Leave a comment
Shou the Bladesmith

Shou became a swordsman for one reason: Lixue. Born the same day and inseparable throughout childhood, a young Lixue would seek Shou once his daily responsibilities at the village blacksmith were complete. As seasons passed she developed into a flawless beauty; so much so it became a curse. Word spread of the maiden’s allure until the Empress decreed Lixue as her own. The evening before she was surrendered, Lixue and Shou laid together in requite passion.

The years thereafter Shou sojourned the continent, honing sword techniques into perfection. With each battle Shou’s blade encounters fewer equals; with each duel he prevails with greater ease. Shou has no delusions of the challenge awaiting him, assailing an impregnable fortress and combating the finest imperial legion, yet Lixue was always worth dying for.

To justify an abysmal Awareness score, this adventurer was role-played as achromatopsia: meaning he could only see the colors black, white, and shades of grey.

Ordo Dracul

Ordo Dracul
Blood in the Water makes it possible to acquire Vlad Dracula, Ceres, Cibele, and Miriam in a 100 Ducats scenario… at the cost of an Ill Tide. Though the Strigoi have seen significant nerfs since their initial debut, the Lord of Vampires and his Brides remain among the deadliest melee combatants. Therefore taking an Ill Tide is worth the -5 rebate, as most penalties are single turn affairs the Brides’ collective abilities offset. Choose between Starved Dhampir and Harpies for Henchmen. Harpies are Flight capable, but also Mindless and cannot score Victory Points. Starved Dhampir begin weak, but receive Bodyguard and Companion from Vlad Dracula at onset.

Name: Nanashi Gombei
Rank: Chunin
Age: 164
Sex: Male
Faction: Hasuba Ninja Army
Cover: Toxicologist
Conviction: Self

Bloodstream laced with lethal poisons. Olympian dexterity and durable physique despite advance age. Lack of ambition averts promotion beyond Chunin. Upset at the ineptitude of younger generations when forced out of retirement, “one last time,” to chaperone a mission.
Life ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐

Ninpo Close Combat (Poison), Ranged Combat (Acupuncture), Poison Eater, Tough, Mechaninja: Vampirism (Engineering)
Ohgi Dim Mak (Poison): Fugu tetrodotoxin concentrated to an incomprehensible extreme. This Ohgi is used in place of an attack. Choose a character that is within one Plot Value as the target. Choose four Categories at random by rolling dice, and the target marks those Life Points as lost. If a Category is chosen where the Life Point has already been marked, the target may choose which remaining Category to mark instead.
Notes Roleplay as an expert toxicologist whose experimentation has gifted him unnatural longevity. Battles opponents through poisons and acupuncture. Possesses techniques that transfers a target’s lifespan to extend his own.
