"If I were dead and you still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness...

...back from the pit of hell to fight at your side." (Valeria - Conan the barbarian 1982)

OK, I've just sent in -

 

 

The above is a much reduced image (taken in the toolset during construction of the test/demo mod) of the complete Map Mats Hyborea. I've included all source files, a hak, 2 erfs, a demo module, a small text file with the 2da lines and a minimal readme file.

 

Hope you like (well can't have AD & Shemsu-Heru as the only cc makers taking part again, can we? '> )

They call it the Fangs of the Serpent.

And this one was thrust into a father's heart by his very son.

And my own daughter has fallen under this Thulsa Doom's spell.

Is there a dagger such as this in her hand for me? (King Osric - Conan the barbarian 1982)

TR>     Really good map of the hyborean age !

             (I'm curious to know the original source)

RE Howard's saga is what inspired me from the first to be interested in D&D.

Who could forget the crucifiction scene with the buzzard?

 

These last few months, RL has kept me too busy to contribute <damn>

Here are some other ideas for folks:

 

"Thak"   <the ape like monster

Aquilonian chariots.

Banners and flags of the realm

Courtesans of the nobility

Senile kings

Evil wizards (Thoth Amon) and any "altars of ancient doom"

The harem girls '>

Princesses

Conan himself (Fyi: I have an old, very high poly 3ds mesh from the net)

 

Inspirational artwork from Frank Frazetta.....

 

Thanks for your efforts guys

More ideas:


Portraits based on the Frank Frazetta art, or any other artist who have works related with the Hyborian age.

 

2D items; For example amulets with the symbols of dark cults, like Thulsa Doom's two head snake symbol. Or holy symbols of the Hyborian gods, Crom, Mitra. Asura, Set, etc...

Placeables of serpent idols, or other cults....

@Killmonger Map originally from TSR 9183 - RS1 - Red Sonja. Stitched the 8 pieces together, resized to make it usable, processed the image to give it a faux bump-map paper/cloth texture and then sliced it into 15 1024 x 1024 "tiles". By doing the latter I reduced the texture size from a 60 meg tga to roughly 10 megs of dds images. After that it was a breeze to create the models, edit placeables.2da and create the hak, erfs and test/demo module.

 

BTW It was Michael Moorcock's eternal champion saga that got me interested in fantasy.

@TR      Wow......Well done, sirrah.

              I barely recall that collage from RS1...

              it was one of those oversize colour mags (?)

              <Thanks for that trivia piece>

 

Great job at the creation of it.

Nice.

 

<Just adored the eternal champion saga within the Young Kingdoms too >

RS1 was a module. It (along with the 2 Conan modules CB1 & CB2) was released around the time of the Arnie movie(s).

 

<Ah! Elric, I started with Corum.>

Crom...

...I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it.

No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad.

Why we fought or why we died.

No.

All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important.

Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request.

Grant me revenge.

And if you do not listen, then to hell with you.

(Conan - Conan the Barbarian 1982)

What daring! What outrageousness!

What insolence! What arrogance!

I salute you."
