Any chance of Conan.

I noticed Planet stories is gonna put out Robert E. Howard’s Almuric. Is their any chance of PS getting the rights to publish his Conan stories?

I have never read them and am unable to find them in bookstores.

Very little chance of genuine Howard Conan, I'm afraid. Del Rey has secured the rights to pretty much all of it for their (fantastic) Robert E. Howard trade paperback series. The first one is called "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian," and should be available at any Barnes and Noble or Borders. They certainly can order it for you, and there's always Amazon.com.

That sucks. I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada so we don't have any Barnes and Noble or Borders. I checked local bookstores and couldn't find any Howard Conan books.

As for buying online, for something under 15$ I don't. If Paizo had it I could have ordered some gamemastery stuff at the same time to make the shipping dildo easier to take.

Gonna use the info to see if I can order it through a local bookstore.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Up in Canada you might try Chapters. These are very well distributed books.

I did go to chapters. Only found Bran Mack Morn and Kull Exile of Atlantis or something like that. No Conan.

There is only one Conan story left for me to experience. Arnold Swartzenegger in Conan the King. I have read them all, and seen them all. Only Conan the king will do.

Hi there. Try looking for Conan of Cimmeria, published by Wandering Star. The Del Rey versions are actually reprints of these UK editions.

Wikipedia is your friend!
