Pallantides Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share 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 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I may sound ignorant, but... what is the Cross Plains Library RPG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallantides Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Quite Dead Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallantides Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Quite Dead Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Neat! So that's where the magic sword-swinging happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fodderzone Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
