1 - 4 players - 1 raven - Core box "In this scenario Conan and his friends must protect a priestress of Mitra for 12 turns from waves of picts that assault the small village" Synopsis: United by the bloodthirsty shaman Zogar Sag, the Pict tribes have swarmed across the Black River and are ravaging the frontier province of Conajohara. Fort Tuscelan has fallen, and the black smoke of its burning rises to the north like a beacon of despair. “The fort’s doomed,” growls Conan to his companions, eyeing the billowing column of smoke, “We’ve got to warn the settlers, or else the Picts may cross Thunder River and take Velitrium before the people know what’s happened!” Hastening south, Conan and his friends sound the warning at the first settlement they find. With no time to gather provisions or treasures, the panicked settlers flee for their lives. Even as the villagers flood out of the village the sound of beating drums announces the arrival of a Pict war-party. “We must buy them time!” Conan shouts, directing his fellows to prepare their defenses against the oncoming horde. Conan feels a hand at his elbow, and turning sees a woman dressed in the livery of a Priestess of Mitra. “There is an incantation that can drive back these savages,” intones the Priestess, “But rite will take time. Protect me until I can finish the invocation!” Conan nods quickly, accepting the woman’s audacious declaration without question. The son of a wild and superstitious people, the Barbarian does not adhere to the intellectual skepticism of civilized men. Taking refuge at the center of the village, the Priestess begins her chant. Conan and his companions ready their weapons as the howling, painted warriors encircle the tiny village…. Download the Drums of Doom

The girl’s soul was to have been sacrificed to the Beast-Lord of the Picts. Conan’s team’s swift actions saved her, even as the mighty coils of the summoned beast tried to crush Conan, it transfix the girl’s soul from her mind with a hypnotic stare. Back home, her lithe body still twisted and spasmed under the thin silken covers of her bed. She was burning up inside and had not returned to consciousness – her soul lost in an unholy dimension. Mitra’s priests were summoned to aid the governor’s daughter. They promised salvation was close at hand, only days away in the form of a holy Sceptre hidden in a caravan from the far south. Unable to wait, the governor paid two bags of gold to a group of heroes to ride south and to speed up the delivery. They rode fast and came upon the remnants of the caravan in three days. A single surviving caravan guard confirmed that the priceless holy Sceptre had been disassembled in to three pieces and hidden in crates - but then they came, horrid and unspeakable monsters from the swap! With wide red-rimmed eyes the dying guard pointed to the western jungle trees as madness consumed him. The spoor was easy to follow… Skuthus and Thog have set up an uneasy alliance in an abandoned village in the swamp. With Skuthus summoning undead to counter the power of the tentacle monsters in the swamp under the sway of the horrid mass that is Thog. Skuthus has set up an unholy gate to draw in the necromantic energies to raise the dead, slowly building an undead army. Thog’s plans cross eons and dimensions and are hard to put into human terms. The tentacles that move under its command erupt from the swampy water and come from deep underground, a source not seen on this earth in two thousand years. He has gained the ability to summon a Swamp Demon in times of dire need However, as soon as Skuthus and Thog are beset by intruders, they work together to defend their mutual home. The heroes arrive late afternoon and the sun is setting. They cannot afford to wait till morning, but night will bring the moon, and the moon will boost the evil forces permeating in the swamps. The heroes start the game and must find the three pieces of the sceptre. At least one hero has to flee the village off the map with all three sceptre pieces for the heroes to win the game. At the end of round 14, the swamp’s foul energy will be boosted by necrotic moonlight and the undead hordes will become overwhelming. If all the sceptre’s pieces have not left the village the Overlord has won. Please contact me for more scenarios. -

Freely choosing a Hero's equipment remains a challenge, too powerful or insufficiently powerful weapons and protections lead to an imbalance that is detrimental to the game. This game aid aims to guide the decision-making of players (Heroes, Overlords and screenwriters) , while respecting the spirit of the game. equipment_heroes.pdf

Hi folks, I am looking for some advice on stats for a Reaper Stone Golem. I think the sculpt fits the Conan vibe very well. Sorry if the pic is too big. I was thinking of giving him Wallwrecker and Circular Strike, a move of 2, armour of 10 and life points 9. What do you think?.

"An unsanctioned team of heroes." Inspired by Marvel's upcoming Savage Avengers comic. A fully functional Conan scenario with suggestions to play it within the Marvel Universe. I designated different Conan heroes and allies as Wolverine, Electra, Punisher, Venom and Brother Voodoo. Crossbowmen represent machine gun armed thugs. Stygian Assassins represent Hand Assassins. I used Heroclix for the Marvel characters and a couple Reaper Nova Corps. models for the machine gunners. If someone is interested in re-skinning all the Hero cards, tiles and tokens for Marvel, let me know. Enjoy!

LP003 - The Eye of Set 1.0 View File The world’s three best Thieves combine to meet their greatest challenge. It is known that in the depth of the Stygian wilderness there is a alter to the their foul god Set. It is rumoured that for a period of 15 minutes each Autumn Solstice this alter moves aside to reveal the entrance to a tunnel. At the end of that tunnel is The Eye of Set ! Not only is this gem worth a King’s ransom three time over, but anyone looking through the eye can make out deceptions, illusions, lies and glamour by the acrid smoky blur it generated in the gem. There is a catch. It is meant to be guarded. So the team pull out their best weapons and armour, and head forth… There can be only one! Any hero that escapes with the eye of Set before the 15 turns are up, wins the game. If at all 3 members of the party die, or if they do not come out with the gem in time, the alter will close and will be impossible to open for another year. Conan and friends will join the other undead in the temple. Submitter Lone Pathfinder Submitted 03/04/2020 Category Official scenarios

LP002 - Conan the Captured View File Nahtok found a ring in the depths of hell. With this ring he has been able to summon a demon of the night, but has not yet been able to tame the demon and substantiate it’s physical form. To do so he has to sacrifice the soul of a powerful warrior. So in disguise Nahtok poisoned the wine of Conan and took the Cimmerian on to a ship called the Storm’s Wake to smuggle him out of town, where Conan has a lot of friends, and to perform the ceremony of binding the demon without interruption. It did not take Amboola and Balthus long to find out what happened to Conan with the help of Zelata. Amboola and Batlhus did not have to search to find a ship willing to chase down the Storm’s Wake. Belit, captain of that ship had her own reasons to free Conan - lust. With Belit’s crew of five guards, Balthus’ hired Kothien archer and Amboola’s contingent of five city guard, they give chase. The white speck on the horizon soon grows to a sail, and then the Storm’s Wake. Seeing they will shortly be overtaken, Constantius, the evil mercenary and currently captain of the Storm’s Wake, steers towards shore, where his lighter vessel can escape over the coral reef’s shallow depths from Belit’s faster, but heavier pirate ship. If Conan is given the Elixir of Live before the poison consumes him and Constantius and Nahtok are vanquished, then the heroes win. If Conan dies from the poison and either Constantius or Nahtok are still alive, then the Overlord wins, or if the Storm’s Wake manages to reach the reef and escapes without enemies on board.

LP301 - Pirate Attack - Overlord v Overlord 0.2 View File The crew has received a tip-off that guards will be carrying the Tax collections of the town of Messantia to the main cargo vessel headed for the capital. The cargo vessel is too well guarded to attack directly. They plan instead a daylight robbery on route to the cargo vessel. If they can intercept the gold before it reached the cargo vessel and bring it on board of Belit’s pirate vessels they will have enough loot to last them for months in luxury. Conan sails in early on a captured merchant ship, pretending to come in to town for supplies. He and Amboola plan the ambush to block the alleyways, forcing the guards from their path through city alleys to the foreshore. Amboola springs the trap with unbreakable barricades and fire, and with excellent timing, Belit sails her ship and grapples next to Conan’s and leaves a skeleton crew behind, sending her best out to assist Conan and Amboola. The town guard are no fools however, they brought in some heavy support with non other than Zaporavo and Thak to assist the city guard Captain and the fire from the barricades will surely bring more. The fire will also signal the raising of the harbour chain that will close the exit from the city by boat. It’s not going to be as easy as expected… If the chest is on board of Belit’s ship without having any enemy crew on her ship at the end of a round, the pirates can cast off and sail away and win. If all three guard characters fall in battle, they also win. If the guards manage to take the chest off the map they win the game. If Belit’s ship has not cast off by the end of the 12th game turn then the harbour is closed and the guards win the game. Submitter Lone Pathfinder Submitted 03/04/2020 Category Official scenarios

View File Worthless Objects - Equipment Cardset Dozens of new objects to add to your Equipment or Treasure Deck. Mostly worthless, but worth a big laugh... PDF FILE: Deck of Worthless Objects (for Conan_Monolith) (v1.1 2018) New version - see download below!! NEVER AN EMPTY CHEST - NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN AN INN OR DURING A CASTLE FEST Bored of empty chests or rules that only say that your recently opened chest is empty? Or is the Campaign you play too easy because all the heroes acquired valuable items during the 1st and 2nd scenario? Well here are some cards to make a Treasure Chest deck, full of worthless and mostly useless objects. But they are worth a laugh and therefore - maybe - even priceless. Off course you have to add some serious stuff to the treasure deck also. On the other hand ... some worthless objects can be throwned to a specific target. Although they shatter easely, these worthless objects aren't useless entirely. Rules for Worthless Equipment Cards These cards are essentially designed for treasure chests or token rewards. I wanted to make the rules for the cards as simple as possible. Objects without a range token, with encumbrance 0, can be used as empty chest items. They are utterly useless and worthless, but they are worth a laugh off course. Equipment cards with a ranged symbol can be thrown to another miniature (plastic model) or to an object (if the scenario has one specified). Throwing an object works like throwing a knife or axe; with the following rules: 1) Before throwing, name the object you want to hit; you can only target 1 object (usually a miniature) 2) Broken flask symbol: The object can only be used once. As soon as it is thrown, it shatters when hitting a target (or when missed: it shatters on the ground or the floor). 3) Numbered Ranged symbol: the black and white ranged symbol means the maximum range. Example: the Stygian Chamber Pot has a range of 1. It can be thrown in your own area, or in any adjacent areas with a clear line of sight. It cannot be thrown into an area which is 2 spaces away from you (dont count your own area). Normal hindering rules for ranged attacks applies. PDF FILE: YOU FOUND ME! Description: YOU FOUND ME! This cardset can be used together with the Worthless Objects - Equipment card set (designed for Conan Monolith). You can use these cards for specific scenario rules, e.g. find the princess, find a key, find the sword/treasure/man etc. You can use the 'You Found Me' cards in various ways. For example, in the beginners scenario 'In the Clutches of the Picts', it works as follows: 1. Static placement For the 'In the Clutches of the Picts' scenario, place the numbered marks on the gameboard, as shown in the setup diagram. Now, make a Worthless Object - Equipment deck of at least 7 cards, or more if you want some random variety (in this scenario, Pict camp, it is suggested to add several Pictish objects). Don't add ranged cards with the shatter symbol for official scenarios, since it can unbalance the scenario (If you want to use some one-time-only Worthless Objects with the shatter symbol, you have to tweek the scenario). Shuffle the deck without looking at the cards, and draw seven cards. These cards resembles 7 random token numbers. Now add the Princess (or another card with the text: you found me). Shuffle the deck again and lay them in a row next to the gameboard, each card adjacent to another, with the backside up (you cant see the objects). After this, place on each card a number marker, the same amount and the same numbers which are on the gameboard. As soon as you enter a hut, remove the number marker from the gameboard and draw a Worthless Equipment card with the same number marker. Did you find the princess or just some 'dust and dead flies'? 2. Random placement Same as above, but place 8 shield-style tokens in the huts, numbers are not needed). Shuffle the deck. As soon as you enter a hut, remove the token and draw a card from the Worthless Equiment deck. Find your Princess -- ahh ... You found me! Random placement Variant: make a deck of 7 cards, 1 card is the Cimmerian beer mug, the rest is your own choice, but no other ranged-single use cards may be added to the deck (or tweak the scenario and add more single use ranged objects to the deck; in that case the Overlord may regenerate more gems in the Book of Skelos...). After you have succesfully entered 2 huts, shuffle the princess card into the deck. In this way, you cannot find the princess in the first two huts. Less luck, more skill, more fun! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitter ronveer Submitted 03/20/2018 Category Resources

Recently I posted on the Conan's Facebook-group an idea for an Equipment Deck which is especially designed for Worthles (but sometimes not entirely useless) Objects. Several users suggested that is is a good idea to post them on the Overlord's Forum. Well, here the are. Feel free to use them in your scenarios or campaigns. How do these Worthless Objects work? In a Campaign or Scenario the specific goals let you sometimes search for objects, where each object is represented by a chest or number token. Only 1 token shows the thing or person you need to find. The other tokens (or chests) are just blank. That's so dull and unimaginative, isn't it? Well for those who really want to find something, I designed an Equipment deck of Worthless objects. You cant do anything with these objects, but I bet you get a big laughter if you find only the 'Empty Tear Collector', in stead of the desired sword or captive princess. Some objects are even useful, although only once. Such objects can be thrown to a person, and shatter when the action is done. Maybe Conan's next favorite weapon is the Pictish Coprolite, or a Nordic Drinkin'Horn. You never know. After the object is thrown, it is broken and finally useless - after all. You can fight some nice inn fights with some objects, but use them wisely. So not too much, since they can unbalance a scenario. But who cares if you can thraw the mighty Khitan Chamber Pot!? You can find the cards, together with the You find me cardset, in the download section. Have fun with it! Organise a Bar Fight! NOTE: don't tweek the cards. Some cards without a range symbol can be thrown in real life (like the lamps or the pictish tablet), but thats not the case here (Monolith's Conan is not a RPG-game) and it was never my intention to use dead flies as poison or a pictish clay tablet as a projectile. If there is no range symbol on the card, than the card is just a simple replacement for an empty chest symbol. Of course, you can also add some of the Worthless cards to the Treasure deck - especially if the players have the idea that everything is too easy. In that case, add some single use objects into the Treasure Deck, together with the more valuable regular objects. It is all up to you. The main idea of these cards is to have fun, especially when someone is rushin' into a room for a better weapon and only find the infamous Aquilonian Chamber pot or some dust and dead flies. Have fun with Conan!

I was advised to post this variant also on The Overlord. Well, here it is. You can find the article and character sheets at: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1951106/feminising-conan Ok I know, Conan is a males world, created in the 1930' with lots of half naked women. But Conan is also a great boardgame which should be played with as much people possible from your gamegroup, friends or family. But in most cases, if you wanna play as a girl in a balanced scenario, you have to choose a male's character or a half naked boobygirl like Bêlit. Although I don't mind the pictorial setting of Conan, I can understand that some people just don't want to play Conan with all these booby girls and rather play some other game instead. But that's of course not necessary. You can use another character from the Monolith's Conan world, like Zelata or Valeria. Unhappily, these are from the King Box and rather expensive and difficult to obtain. In that case, you can also us a miniature (28 mm!!, mind the size) from another company (pls Monolith, reissue the female characters which are hard to get). For families or gender mixed gamer groups who want to play the original scenario's with balanced characters, you can make proxy characters, by coping the exact stats of the hero and using a different miniature. For our gaming group I created several female character sheets, to enlarge the fun and make it possible to play the game with people who want more variety in female characters (or less boobs, whatever you want). As a replacement for the male/female Conan miniatures, I have chosen for the female miniatures from Darksword (just because I like these miniatures, I don't have any commercial connections with this manufacturer). So, here is the feminised Conan setting: Balthis, a female variant of Balthus. Of course you can use Slasher as her companion.
