June 5, 2019 by brennon
Modiphius is hitting the high seas with Conan and another roleplaying game supplement. Have you been adventuring with Conan The Pirate?
Inside this supplement, you'll find lots of extra goodies for those that like the idea of reaving on the high seas like Conan. You might even bump into famous characters like Bêlit The Pirate Queen.
You will find within its pages...
- New archetypes such as the Marine, Galley Slave, Merchant Captain, and Smuggler round out the archetypes from the CONAN corebook.
- Pirate-themed talents, backgrounds, and gear allowing you to create your own unique pirate characters, ready to plunder from the wealthy.
- A gazetteer covering the coastal kingdoms that Conan raided during his years as a pirate.
- A guide to running pirate campaigns, with all-new rules for piracy and plunder, and pirate events describing what happens between adventures.
- Conan described at the height of his pirate career, along with the crew of the Tigress.
- Statistics for ships — from the Argossean bireme to the Zingaran carrack — and a ship to- ship combat system that allows player characters to pit their own vessels against their enemies on the high seas.
- Stunning art and maps, produced by world-renowned Conan artists.
It sounds like a pretty cool supplement and one that might catch the eye of many since it provides you with a very different take on Conan and his adventures on land.

never thought of Conan the pirate before.
