I wonder if the package will explode en route?
AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about role-playing games (Mythras, Against the Darkmaster, Dungeons & Dragons [esp. old school], Swords & Wizardry, Into the Unknown, Middle-earth Role-playing, Lord of the Rings Role-playing, Adventures in Middle-Earth, Crypts & Things, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) and RPG settings (Middle-earth, Cthulhu Mythos, Greyhawk, Lyonesse, Ukrasia, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.

An odd pairing. Any Gor books shipping with that.
ReplyDeleteBut both are just as wild and savage as the other.
ReplyDeleteBoth supplements for your next game?
ReplyDeleteGloria Steinem the Destroyer
You never know, they might cross-fertilise in the package. Imagine the result...
ReplyDeleteRed Sonja?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if Conan doesn't kill the feminists and take their stuff only to be driven insane by their complaining about how that oppressed them.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone roll on potion Misc?
ReplyDeleteWell since they're both versions of fantasy fiction they should get along just fine.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to picture Conan in sensible shoes, but it could happen.
ReplyDeleteAos, très drôle.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly "Red Sonja" was created not by Howard but by the writers of Savage Sword in the 1970s. Howard did portray some very strong, independent female characters, e.g. Bêlit and Valeria, so perhaps it was unfair of me to characterize Conan as 'anti-feminist'. I mean, the mighty-thewed barbarian will never be a feminist icon, but the Conan stories (whether Howard's or those of the Savage Sword) are not misogynist.
