Pallantides 69 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Wow! Some people really get to the bottom of things! Members of the Cross Plains Library RPG gaming group are playing Conan.. right under the front porch of Robert E. Howard's family house. If that ain't cool...

Not Quite Dead 422 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 I may sound ignorant, but... what is the Cross Plains Library RPG? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pallantides 69 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 A few years ago, the RPG game launched on Kickstarter by Modiphius was playtested by a group of gamers in Robert E. Howard's dining room. This game was once again played by a group of gamers in the Cross Plains Public Library. These past days, a smaller faction of this Cross Plains Library RPG gaming group relocated to the front porch of the Howard House to play the Monolith's boardgame. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 422 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 Hum. The Cross Plains Public Library being, according to Google, the Library where REH's manuscripts are kept, in the town where REH lived most of his life and died. I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pallantides 69 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 Yes you are right, Robert E. Howard lived most of his life in Cross Plains (Texas), and his family house is now a museum. You still can visit the room of REH, where he was writing his novels. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 422 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 Neat! So that's where the magic sword-swinging happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fodderzone 2 Report post Posted September 6, 2017 I really need check out this museum as I live right down the road in Weatherford, TX. I've been in TX my whole life, but never knew he was from this area until I came across the Conan board game. It's interesting how we are exposed to history that's so close to home. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
