“How many RPG supplements promise epic adventures but deliver cookie-cutter dungeons? Gamemasters spend hours tweaking generic modules to fit their campaign’s tone – when they could be weaving legends of blood and thunder.”
The tabletop RPG landscape is littered with adventure modules that fail to capture Robert E. Howard’s signature blend of visceral action and eldritch horror. Most generic fantasy scenarios require extensive reworking to match Conan’s hyperborean world – until now. Jeweled Thrones of the Earth solves this with seven meticulously crafted adventures that embody Howard’s original vision, saving GMs 20+ hours of conversion work while delivering authentic Hyborian Age experiences.
Product Highlights
- 7 complete Conan adventures spanning the Hyborian world
- 12 additional adventure seeds for endless campaigns
- New monsters including the Feathered Ape and Worm Within
- Campaign guidelines for interconnected storytelling
- Optimized for Modiphius’ 2d20 system
- Instant PDF delivery upon purchase ($8.13)
Why This Stands Apart in the RPG Wilderness
Unlike generic fantasy modules that require extensive reskinning, Jeweled Thrones of the Earth delivers authentic Hyborian Age experiences out of the box. Where competitors offer vanilla dungeon crawls, this supplement provides:
1. Genre-Defining Adventures
Each scenario embodies Howard’s signature themes – from the degenerate saurians in The Seethers in the Sand to the demon-worship of The Pact of Xiabalba. The book’s three-tier structure (complete adventures → campaign links → bonus seeds) creates unparalleled replay value.
2. System Mastery
While other publishers bolt Conan themes onto D&D mechanics, Modiphius’ 2d20 system was built for Howard’s world. The included new monsters (like the a’ghama and Watcher) showcase the system’s strengths in handling Conan’s unique blend of swordplay and sorcery.
How It Measures Against Hyborian Contenders
| Feature | Jeweled Thrones | Generic Fantasy Module | Other Conan Supplements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thematic Authenticity | ★★★★★ | ★☆☆☆☆ | ★★★☆☆ |
| Preparation Time | Ready-to-play | 5-10 hours conversion | 1-3 hours tweaking |
| Content Volume | 7 adventures + 12 seeds | Single adventure | 3-5 adventures |
| System Integration | Native 2d20 | D&D conversion needed | Mixed systems |
Jeweled Thrones delivers 300% more playable content than average Conan supplements while eliminating conversion work that plagues generic modules. The campaign-linking guidelines offer unique value absent from competitors’ offerings.
