Know, o Prince, that between the time when TSR picked up the Conan license and the rise of the TSR Conan RPG, there was an age undreamed of, with two Conan modules statted up for AD&D1 spread across the TSR catalogue like jewels upon a cloth etc.
Anyway, this popped up on my Google+ feed a few hours ago: it seems even in the far-off, exotic and decidedly old school epoch of 1984 there was some effort and thought towards bad, naughty, no-good swiney "genre emulation" and, God forbid, protagonism mechanics.
So much for "we never intended to simulate stories anyway", I guess? ;)
Thoughts?
