We are, first and foremost, fans of Robert E. Howard's thrilling tales of Conan the Cimmerian in the Hyborian Age.

But who can sit still when reading these daring fantasies?

What barbarian's heart can remain fixed behind a phosphor screen and pretend he has adventure enough?

What warrior's hand is content with the "fire" button on his computer?

Come with me, my hearties! Boots on the ground and swords in hand! Let us go out under the bright sun or glittering stars together!

Does training in the way of barbarian swordcraft inflame your savage spirit?

What of stone-age bodybuilding?

Does live-action roleplay feed your need for thrills?

How do you honor the barbaric spirit of Conan of Cimmeria! Sing out like you got a pair, let me know where you want to go with this!

This is for real, face-to-face community! To Hell with virtual worlds!

So, if you are a fantasy fan, in particular a old school Conan fan check this group out.

    "Good documentary, BBC has a lot of good shows like this. When I was young, I enjoyed studying the American Indians; in fact I belonged to the YMCA's Indian Guides. I liked their traditions of honor, courage and their nature-based spirituality...."
