I lack the confidence or the dedication to start writing, and writing hard.

I do have a few projects i might be able to.. adapt, so to speak, however.

Tbh i was going for the whole metaphysical genocidal beserker though.

Indeed, however there is an element of uncertainty there in that the original sagepost was in response to the OP's post.

In which case, isn't this saging relevant to the thread?

>>1385725

You mean, a death the hero himself chose unnessecarily?

>>1385719

So if i have nothing to contribute i should just sage everything?

>>1385712

It is time for a resurgence in heroic figures rescuing scantily-clad vixens, imho.

Except when you think about it just about everyone in the conan stories is either cruel, a savage, or some combination of the two.

Although of course it would be interesting to note that possibly there's some social commentary there, about how cruelty is what makes man truly savage, not a lack of civility.

The first one, especially if it's an important character.

> times change.

Well they shouldn't.

>>1385669

Conan was a nazi?

How so?

>>1385641

Will do.

However, seeing as this thread is finally gaining some momentum, we still haven't addressed the fact that conan is barely even mentioned in society as a whole unless it's referenced towards the arnie films.

It doesn't seem to click in people's minds that it was a series of short stories before it was a film.

Why is this, /lit/?

>>1385630

Oh you know, derpin' about n' shit.

>>1385616

No, no, no, no, no, no, no - in that order.

But thanks for playing.

>>1385618

Admittedly i have developed a pretty celtic mentality towards my preferences for fantasy lately, conan just kind of appeases to that taste i guess.

I'll be sure to check out the legion from the shadows though.

>>1385600

I post on new because i consider it to be entertaining.

If that makes me batshit then so be it.

>>1385586

> guilty as charged.

When did this happen, anyway?

>>1385560

You should read it as soon as you can.

It's one of the forgotton treasures of our literary heritage.

Go on, someone put it into words why people don't talk about conan.

Do it, faggot.

> saging an honest thread making an honest enquiry.

Beowulf only has one story in it and many variations, Conan the Barbarian has many stories.

What's not to like, you little girly men?

Methinks you've all been spoiled on your twilights and your harry potters and your narniashit.

Do yourselves a favour and sink your teeth into some REAL fantasy for a change.

What's the matter faggots, is it too MANLY for you?

how come pretty much no one ever talks about conan the barbarian when it comes to fantasy/adventure novels?

Also, if you haven't read any conan the barbarian stories, you fail at high adventure.

Oh lol... think i'll go back to /new/.

I'M ADDICTED TO WARHAMMER NOVELS.
