  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #24 [AE17]
    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2017 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART TWO By Lee A. Breakiron As we saw last time, the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa) was the first amateur press association (apa) dedicated to that author. Its founder, Tim C. Marion, started it in 1972 when he was 13 and edited it through the first 19 of its bimonthly Mailings, but left afterward since he was ultimately more interested in fan activities than Howard as a literary figure. Before that, discontent with his leadership and with the real dearth of worthwhile essays and critiques during the early years led to future literary critic Don Herron and others to leave and create The Hyperborian League (THL) apa in October, 1975. Its official editor (OE) was Herron and it was “devoted to the creative discussion of authors Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard and their works,” though material on other fantasy writers and poets was welcomed. Herron said he spelled the name of the apa “Hyperborian” rather than “Hyperborean” because he wanted to emphasize the fact that it was devoted to both CAS (whence Hyperborean) and REH (whence Hyborian). It would still be occasionally misspelled, even on covers. Its official organ document was titled “Skull & Sandalwood,” suggested by REH’s “Skull-Face” and CAS’s Sandalwood. The fanzines composing the quarterly Mailings were at first stapled by the contributors and left so by the OE, who collected them and mailed them out to the current individual members. He also distributed some copies to libraries, sent “speculative” (“spec”) copies to recruit prospective members, and sold remaining ones to defray postage costs.

  • The Hyborian Review Volume 3, Number 9
    The Hyborian Review Volume 3, Number 9. September 30, 1998 Laboring, I tell ya… Great REH Quotes From Selected Letters, 1923-1930, a snip from Howard's correspondence with Tevis Clyde Smith in 1928 (p. 39) I finally got back my rhymes from the Scroll. Scutto surprised me after all. I expected tirades of righteousness, howls of orthodox wrath, scathing rebukes and trenchant remarks about the general absence of merit of my slop, but his criticism was as follows, to say: "While excellent in many respects, they lack rhythm --"! Can you beat that? And he sent me a dinky little pamphlet entitled "Rhythmic and Natural Accents," with a lot of primer stuff in it. Heh heh heh! The poor fish. Well, it's a new experience -- I've had plenty of criticism before, but nobody ever told me my verse was unrhythmic. Ah well -- I know the reason -- two reasons -- some of my rhyme was too intricate and complicated for his blunt musical -- or rather unmusical -- ear to catch -- and the rest was too brutal for him, and he didn't have the guts to say so. He couldn't have published it, consistently, with the policy of the magazine. It would have been letting loose a wolf in a sheep fold. A lot of old maids, artistic businessmen -- heh heh heh -- budding feminine sweet-singers and gooey-gooey jinglers that smear their mush and saccharine over the pages of his juvenile abortion would leap convulsively clean out of their drawers with pure horror had they come upon my serpents coiled between the pages.

What were the heroic deeds of Conan, the rude barbarian, the great warrior, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow? The answers to these questions are in Robert E. Howard's books. These stories, that fascinate still nowadays a huge number of readers from all the countries in the world, can be considered the foundation of the “Swords and Sorcery” genre. Who's familiar with Conan's adventures already knows what this mighty world looks like, but the newbies should take a look to these little articles taken from Conan Wiki (conan.wikia.com) and Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.com) to enjoy more the game. We can define the Hyborian setting both a “Sword-and- fantasy genre, though as a work may contain one contrast sorcery” and a low-fantasy one. with high fantasy and many common points; such antagonism centers on the traits the writer has decided to concentrate Sword and Sorcery on.

Command armies, wield dark sorcery, or weave cunning intrigue — all are needed in order to conquer your enemies and make your kingdom the most powerful in the world. Yet, even the most powerful of rulers ignores one man at his great peril. Only one kingdom will harness the volatile alliance of the mightiest hero of all — Conan the Cimmerian. Age of Conan is a massive strategy board game based on the famous sword-and-sorcery hero created by R. Howard and designed by the same team of the award-winning War of the Ring game. The kingdoms of Aquilonia, Hyperborea, Turan and Stygia will fight with armies, magic and gold to subjugate and conquer; but Conan the Barbarian, the greatest Hero of this age, may turn the tide in favour or against any player. A ge of Conan is played over the course of three ages. At the beginning of Age of Conan: The Board Game age, four Conan adventure cards are drawn and used to create the adventure deck. At the beginning of each adventure, players bid to decide who controls Conan for that adventure. When an adventure ends, a new one is drawn and a new bid determines the new Conan player. The roll of special dice, called fate dice, determines the actions available to the players.
