if I remember correctly, the time of the Hyborean Kingdoms was set approximately five thousand years after the sinking of Atlantis and about three thousand years before the rise of China…..give or take a couple thousand years here or there. the chronological Howard/DeCamp-Carter-Nyberg pastiche paperbacks all have a map of Conan’s time with a drawing of present day Europe & Asia superimposed on it. that would be an approximation too because it’s also supposed that the lands that were Cimmeria broke off after a cataclysm and became Ireland (and possibly England as well) and at least part of the pictish lands broke away and became a part of North America.
I never realized that the world of Thurain was basically earth… Is the idea that Conan basically lived in a post-apocalyptic earth? I’ve never read the stories so please excuse my ignorance.
This campaign is looking pretty sweet. The use of art and such everywhere makes such a big difference. If only I wasn’t so pathetic with photoshop and such.
Use as little Textile as possible. Unfortunately, not all HTML works on this site, but the bits of HTML that do work tend to work better than their Textile equivalent. You can use my sites as examples of what is possible and decide for yourself if they are examples of what to do or what not to do. ;)
Since you’re a player in Shadowfell, you can even look at the code I use to format the pages. Explodinator can be of some assistance in this area if you invite him to the Nemedian Chronicles campaign. He’s played around with creating wiki pages on OP a bit.

The Hyborian Age is pre-recorded history. Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the Rise of the sons of Aryas. ;-)

Man, I need to step up my use of art. ;)

Alternatively, invite me, upgrade me to GM status, and tell me what you want done. ;)

Well, wikidot.com hasn’t proven to be too useful. And yahoo groups were never that great. Gonna see if this yields better results. Any tips?

Gonna give it a shot? :)
