Conan the Cimmerian, created by Robert E. Howard in the 1930s, has been adapted in many forms (novels, comic books, movies, boardgames, RPG and video games). A barbarian from the Hyborian Age (which takes place 10 000 years ago), Conan hacked his way from a lowly barbarian thief to a mighty king, fighting sorcerers and wicked creatures along the way.
