Howard's Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, or simply Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, is a sword and sorcery British pen-and-paper role-playing game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian, the fictional Hyborian Age. Both the character and the setting were first imagined by American author Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) as of 1932 and until his suicide in 1936. Howard's original literary work has since spawned a vast franchise of novels, comic books, films, video games, board games, role-playing games, etc. Following this tradition, Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of is the third officially licensed Conan role-playing game. The two precedent games were Conan Role-Playing Game (1985-1988) and The Roleplaying Game (2004-2010), although there also had been supplements for independent generic systems, like GURPS Conan (1988-1989). Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of was developed by a team of game designers, writers and artists, all led by Chris Birch of Modiphius Entertainment.[1] The rights to publish this derivative work were licensed from Conan Properties International. DevelopmentIn February 2015, British game company Modiphius announced that it would be releasing Robert E. Howard's Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of[2] for launch August of the same year.[3][4] Actually, the core rulebook was not launched until a whole year later, via Kickstarter, on the 16th of February, 2016.[5][6] The Kickstarter was fully funded within hours of launch and in March 2016 its planned duration expired with a huge success (45,000 £ required / 436,755 £ reached[7]). Despite that the Kickstarter ended successfully in Summer 2016, the core rulebook was still being the subject of printing tests in January 2017.[8] PublicationOn the 31st of January 2017, Modiphius Entertainment released Robert E. Howard's Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of[9] in PDF form through DriveThruRPG. The first adventure supplement, Conan: Jeweled Thrones of the Earth,[10] was also released in PDF form via DriveThruRPG on the same day as the PDF core rulebook. In hardcover physical format, the core rulebook and the supplements Player's Guide and Jeweled Thrones of the Earth were all three printed in May 2017 and started distribution as of June 2017. Core rulebookThe core rulebook for Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, published in 2017, is a 368-page full colour hardcover book containing everything needed to adventure in the world of Robert E. Howard’s hero, Conan. It is based entirely on the canonical Conan stories, and uses the 2d20 system developed by Modiphius and used in the role-playing games Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition (2015), Corvus Belli's Infinity (2016), Star Trek Adventures (2017), and John Carter: Warlord of Mars (2018). Jeffrey Shanks, award-winning Robert E. Howard scholar and essayist (Conan Meets the Academy[11] and The Dark Man: The Journal of REH Studies[12]) has been hard at work guiding the Modiphius team during initial development in 2015.
