Hi all,
I'm looking for a ready-made short (maybe one-shot)
Conan adventure to play with a group of players new
to GURPS, but not new to role-playing.

It hasn't to be a GURPS adventure, it can be generic
or other systems as long as it keeps with the Conan mood.
Moreover I'm not looking for hooks (I've found a lot of)
or Campaign, only a short ready-to-play scenario.

A GURPS one, with NPC will be first choice of course!

I've made a LOT of research on the internet (both
web and usenet), and:

- I have GURPS Conan AND all four solo scenario
(and I know there is plenty of adventure hooks
in the sourcebook).

- I have TSR 1985 Conan RPG AND all 3 adventures
(CN1, CN2, CN3)

- I have the two AD&D adventures CB1, CB2 about Conan

- I have "Barbarians of Lemuria" a free Conan style RPG
http://www.geocities.com/simonwashbourne/barbarians.html

- I have "Barbarbarian" (a free italian light rpg)
and all the adventures
http://digilander.libero.it/ICoboldiBerserker

- I'm aware of Conan RPG by Mongoose and the
supplement "The Scrolls of Skelos"

- I've downloaded the free adventures at the very
good "The Hyborian Age d20 Campaign Site".
http://hyboria.xoth.net/

- I'm aware of the "Conan for 3rd Edition" fan site
http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/hosted/adilbrand/conan.htm

- I know there are some Yahoo groups about Conan RPG
and Live, however the major part are abbandoned.

- I've read all Howard stories and the majority
of his fellow writers' ones.

I'm also aware that I can make my own adventures by
drawing inspiration from Conan tales, adapting existing
scenario with similar Sword & Sorcery setting or
converting solo modules.

I've made this some time ago, I used to DM a Conan
campaign and was a lot of fun.

Given the popularity of the character (Conan), the
beautiful sourcebook (GURPS Conan) and setting
(Hyboria), and the diffusion of GURPS, I wander why
there isn't the depth of download I espected.

Well, this post started as a request and ended up
being a list of Conan resources, I hope they will
be usefull to some.

If you wrote (or know about) a Conan scenario please
let me know on the newsgroup (e-mail is invalid).

Thanks a lot

Where do you live? Around here in the Denver area there is a store with
quite a few Conan adventures...
