role playing game

Conan the Barbarian, the iconic character created by Robert E. Howard, is known for his incredible strength, combat skills, and survival instincts. If we were to envision Conan as a character in a role-playing game (RPG), we can make some suggestions regarding the game system, edition, character class, and race or species that would suit him. [ChatGPT]

Game System: Game System: One popular choice for a Conan-esque setting is the "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of" role-playing game, published by Modiphius Entertainment. This system is specifically designed to capture the atmosphere and themes of the Hyborian Age, the fictional world in which Conan adventures. [ChatGPT]

Edition: As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the game system has been released in a single edition, often referred to as the “Conan RPG.” [ChatGPT]

Character Class:I n the Conan RPG, there are several character archetypes to choose from that reflect the different types of characters found in Howard’s stories. For Conan himself, the most appropriate character class would be "Cimmerian Barbarian" or simply "Barbarian." This class focuses on exceptional combat prowess, physical strength, and survival skills. [ChatGPT]

Race: In the Conan RPG, characters are typically humans, as the setting is primarily focused on human civilizations and cultures. Conan is a Cimmerian, which is a fictional tribe of humans inhabiting the northern regions of the Hyborian world. Therefore, Conan would be a human character, specifically a Cimmerian. [ChatGPT]

It’s worth mentioning that while the suggestions above are specifically tailored for the "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of" RPG, Conan’s character concept could be adapted to fit other game systems or editions as well, depending on personal preference or the specific game being played.

D&D barbarian

A fictional character that would be most likely to play a D&D barbarian class is Conan the Barbarian. Conan, created by Robert E. Howard, is a classic example of a barbarian archetype. He is a fierce and formidable warrior known for his immense strength, primal rage, and exceptional combat skills. Barbarians in D&D are known for their raw physical power, their ability to enter a state of uncontrollable rage, and their proficiency in melee combat. Conan’s relentless pursuit of adventure, his preference for brute force over finesse, and his survival skills make him a perfect candidate for the barbarian class. Whether wielding a massive sword or brawling with bare fists, Conan embodies the spirit of the barbarian and would relish the opportunity to unleash his fury on the tabletop battlefield of a D&D game.

favorite game

Given Conan the Barbarian’s affinity for physical prowess, adventure, and the thrill of battle, it’s difficult to pinpoint his exact favorite game since he hails from a fictional world without modern games as we know them. However, if we were to imagine Conan transported to the present day and introduced to various games, it’s likely he would gravitate towards activities that reflect his interests and offer challenges. Here are a few possibilities: [ChatGPT]

  1. Gladiator-Style Fighting Games: Conan would likely enjoy intense combat-focused video games that simulate the thrill of battle, such as fighting games or hack-and-slash action games. Engaging in virtual battles against formidable opponents would provide him with a familiar sense of excitement and challenge. [ChatGPT]
  2. Open-World Action RPGs: Conan might be drawn to open-world role-playing games (RPGs) where he can freely explore vast landscapes, engage in quests, and confront dangerous adversaries. Games like "The Elder Scrolls" series or "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" could appeal to his adventurous spirit. [ChatGPT]
  3. Tactical War Games: Considering Conan’s strategic acumen and experience in leading armies, he might enjoy tactical war games that involve commanding troops, such as historical war simulations or fantasy-themed strategy games like "Total War" or "Warhammer." [ChatGPT]
  4. Tabletop RPGs: Given Conan’s origins in the realm of tabletop fantasy literature, he might appreciate the immersive storytelling and collaborative aspects of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs). Games like "Dungeons & Dragons" or the aforementioned "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of" RPG could capture his imagination and allow him to shape his own heroic narratives. [ChatGPT]

Ultimately, Conan’s favorite game would likely involve elements of adventure, combat, and the opportunity to prove his strength and skill. [ChatGPT]
