Adventures in the Border Kingdom of Hyboria

John Maddox Roberts in Conan the Valorous said, "This was the Border Kingdom, an area bordered by Nemedia, Brythunia, Hyperborea, and Cimmeria, with a finger of land thrust into Gunderland and the Bossonian Marches. It was a land too diffuse and primitive for the strong kingship of the south, and although it was termed a kingdom, it could seldom be determined just who was the king of the place. Frequently there were several claimants to the title, leading to inevitable warfare."

L. Sprague de Camp said, "The land was called the Border Kingdom. It was a dreary waste of desolate, empty moors which swept off to the dim horizon. Here and there gnarled and stunted trees grew sparsely. Waterbirds rose flapping from misty bogs. A cold, uneasy wind whined through rattling reeds with a lonely song."

Join a home-brewed game system set in this rather unremarkable land in Hyboria! Are you a Northern Barbarian who has come to carve our your own slice of the Border Kingdoms, an exiled or rebel noble from the Civilized South re-establishing your glory, a bandit hoping to get rich off of the many caravans traveling through the land, a mercenary for hire to one of the many petty barons in this land, or an unfortunate slave longing for freedom?
