Just finished the two novel collection that is John C. Hocking’s Conan: City of the Dead. Absolutely amazing. Especially the second story. Five stars. Hocking might be the best Conan pastiche writer since Robert E. Howard himself penned the Cimmerian. Fantastic.
The cover of John C. Hocking’s Conan: City of the Dead. A silhouette of the barbarian in a crouch, sword in one hand and axe in the other, in front of a bright white conglomeration of towers, with one dome that looks like a skull, under a sky field of stars.

After defeating the serpentmen last week, we started a new fae-themed adventure in my Shadow of the Weird Wizard #RPG group last night. It’s our second expert tier adventure, and lots of fun so far. #TTRPG #NotDnD

Continued my Hyperborea RPG / Stonehell Dungeon game tonight. There’s just something about the old school survivalist nature of a megadungeon crawl that makes it a thrilling game.

Great #TTRPG session with my regular Friday group. We finished up the novice tier adventure One Bad Apple for the Shadow of the Weird Wizard #RPG. The heroes were victorious over goblins, undead, and a horrible plague!
