Plenty of good yarns and because Kull is king in most (or all?), there's a lot more brooding which REH portrays nicely.Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448463364076631580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-53618955324428244312021-01-18T08:46:18.946-05:002021-01-18T08:46:18.946-05:00You're absolutely right about the "more a...You're absolutely right about the "more amateur" quality of the Kull stories. They're relatively early works of REH and it shows – but what they lack in polish they make up in ideas.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-12364628166572630072021-01-18T08:44:45.631-05:002021-01-18T08:44:45.631-05:00It's funny you should mention this, because yo...It's funny you should mention this, because you've anticipated a post I have queued up for later in the day!James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-10225111703409964712021-01-18T03:45:46.267-05:002021-01-18T03:45:46.267-05:00As an added OSR connection, I’d assume that the Wh...As an added OSR connection, I’d assume that the White Dwarf AD&D adventure ”The Halls of Tizun Thane” by Albie Fiore is inspired by the story in question: http://jasonzavoda-hallofthemountainking.blogspot.com/2016/05/white-dwarf-18-ad-mini-scenario-halls.html?m=1Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131883711564207245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-18568545294987921162021-01-18T02:45:33.016-05:002021-01-18T02:45:33.016-05:00Ah, that's also one of my favourite Howard pas...Ah, that's also one of my favourite Howard passages. I quite like the Kull stories. They're more amateur than his Conan stories, but I feel like that allowed him to explore interesting ideas that wouldn't necessarily work, and part of the reason they work so well.<br /><br />The only non-Howard Conan I'm familiar with are the movies, the '90s live action TV show, and the newspaper strip. This seems like a weird one to adapt to Conan.doccarnbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406919373469437352noreply@blogger.com
