Campaign of the Month: March 2008
The Nemedian Chronicles
Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars – Turan, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Corinthia with its city-states and deadly intrigue, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs. Hither came Cuana, soldier-of-fortune from the dark hills of Cimmeria, Tullweim, indomitable Aesir Barbarian, and Xacksmith, archer and thief from the hordes of Hyrkania, each with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under their sandaled feet.
Current Chapter – 16 The Trail of Fear

The Nemedian Chronicles Comments
This is SO COOL! Great job on your page!
With so many campaigns over with in 6 months, it is so cool to see a campaign that is well crafted last this long. I read the logs regularly, and I am finally caught up. Great job!
Flatscan, I always look forward to seeing your updates. This site is still the model for my wiki.

I see now why this page has so many fans. Very well done. As a fan of all things Howard, I am very much enjoying the read through. I will be certain to take notes for future campaigns of my own. Hell I might even make use of some of your ideas for a holodeck adventure in my Star Trek campaign. Keep up the good work and I will keep reading.
I hate giant snakes even more than I hate Stygians….suck it, blue!
“Arching sucks!” -Xacksmith
have I mentioned that I really hate Stygians?
The site is nicely made with a Conan atmosphere and your adventure log is very enjoyable, a true story rather than a list of events. Congratulations and do game on!
Yessir. We’re back!
Hey, guys. Are recent updates a sign of a soon-to-be restart of the campaign?
I’m not familiar with this system, and not sure of the reasoning behind this, but if the modifiers work the same way they do in D&D then shouldn’t Cuana’s STR mod be +6? I could be wrong >.<
Is this destiny or what? I’m listening to Conan The Barbarian OST and I end up here!? Awesome campaign Flatscan!!
This looks like a fun game, if you guys are looking for more players I’d love to give it a shot.
By Mitra, this site does sit well with me. Keep up the grand work, it is truly worthy of the gods!
I really, really hate Picts….subhuman bastards, every one of them.
Man it would appear I need to learn a little HTML for my own campaign. This looks fabulous.
how did you get the pictures in?? im not good at computers, any help would be brill! x
Ahh, Conan, sorry didn’t notice it. Campaign looks great, again!
What system are you guys using? Campaign looks great.
The character names are getting unwieldy! : D
it’s compelling enough for me :) besides, my standard is a boar, not a stinky old wolf.
I guess “The Adventures of Dhak (and friends!)” just wasn’t compelling enough :(
paths of wolves?
Great looking site Flatscan! Love the art. I’m impressed you got so much player contribution in the form of journals.
We should have tried to topple one of the columns into their ranks – I bet that could have worked. Would have been quite conanesque too. Note to self to not overlook anymore tactical exploits.
geez….it’s awfully quiet around here considering we’re coming up on the final session in this chapter, a session in which we’re likely going to try to metaphorically kick an evil god in the balls and send him crying back to whatever hell or prison normally holds him.
in the immortal words of Grif, Simmons, Donut, and Sarge: SUCK IT, BLUE!
if I remember correctly, the time of the Hyborean Kingdoms was set approximately five thousand years after the sinking of Atlantis and about three thousand years before the rise of China…..give or take a couple thousand years here or there. the chronological Howard/DeCamp-Carter-Nyberg pastiche paperbacks all have a map of Conan’s time with a drawing of present day Europe & Asia superimposed on it. that would be an approximation too because it’s also supposed that the lands that were Cimmeria broke off after a cataclysm and became Ireland (and possibly England as well) and at least part of the pictish lands broke away and became a part of North America.
The Hyborian Age is pre-recorded history. Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the Rise of the sons of Aryas. ;-)
I never realized that the world of Thurain was basically earth… Is the idea that Conan basically lived in a post-apocalyptic earth? I’ve never read the stories so please excuse my ignorance.
ooops…...I forgot. SUCK IT BLUE!!1
yes….mr flatscan’s spent a lot of time on the site. the best part is that the campaign’s even cooler than the site.
This campaign is looking pretty sweet. The use of art and such everywhere makes such a big difference. If only I wasn’t so pathetic with photoshop and such.
Nemedian Chronicles in the top 5? Yeah!! suck it, Blue!
Whoa, well done.
Man, I need to step up my use of art. ;)
Alternatively, invite me, upgrade me to GM status, and tell me what you want done. ;)
Use as little Textile as possible. Unfortunately, not all HTML works on this site, but the bits of HTML that do work tend to work better than their Textile equivalent. You can use my sites as examples of what is possible and decide for yourself if they are examples of what to do or what not to do. ;)

Shadowfell
Since you’re a player in Shadowfell, you can even look at the code I use to format the pages. Explodinator can be of some assistance in this area if you invite him to the Nemedian Chronicles campaign. He’s played around with creating wiki pages on OP a bit.
Well, wikidot.com hasn’t proven to be too useful. And yahoo groups were never that great. Gonna see if this yields better results. Any tips?
Gonna give it a shot? :)
