List of games based on Conan the Barbarian

January 01, 1970

The Conan the Barbarian saga has appeared in a variety of forms in the gaming community from simple boardgames to high tech multiplayer online games. The intention of all these games is to immerse the player in the sword and sorcery world of Hyboria. Robert E. Howard created the original Conan story but he had no hand in creating various games other than they were based on his works.

Earliest Appearances edit

Conan's first appearance in Dungeons & Dragons with game statistics was in Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (TSR, 1976), in a section of the book devoted to ROBERT E. HOWARD'S HYBOREA.

Conan was defined by Gary Gygax for the first time for Dungeons & Dragons in his article "Conan!", an installment of Gygax's regular "From the Sorcerer's Scroll" column, in The Dragon Magazine #36 (April 1980).

Conan (D&D supplements) edit

Capitalizing on the release of the Conan movies, TSR created two licensed Conan adventures for their Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game in 1984. The line sold very poorly and in time was discontinued; the adventures (called "modules" in the Dungeons & Dragons community) often found their way to the bargain bin in most hobby shops but are now often prized by collectors.

Conan Role-Playing Game edit

The Conan Role-Playing Game was published by TSR, Inc. in 1985. This boxed game was designed for players age 10 and up contained a full-color map, a 32-page will book, a 16-page reference guide and a 48-page notebook about the land of Hyboria plus two 10 sided dice. The series was very short-lived producing only three adventures each based on novels from the Conan series.
