What to do next???
I'm currently running and enjoying a BoL game set in the Warlords of Atlantis setting for the Barbaric! rpg. I run it with BoL Mythic+ and the Sword & Sorcery Codex. I've posted the latest AP in the Weird Lands and Forgotten Islands page - technically I suppose I should have posted it here, but as the other APs were posted on 'Weird Lands etc.' page I've put this latest AP there with the others.
But that's not what I'm posting here about. I'm thinking ahead to what to run after the Warlords campaign has finished.
I have unfinshed business in Italy in 1944 with Reggie Fairfax and Mags (a NPC promoted to full PC status). This is a Military Intelligence/Spy/SOE game. However, I did have an idea for another Pulse Pounding Pulp WW2 game, set a few years earlier. This essentially would be a Delta Green P.I.S.C.E.S game where agents for Britain's occult investigation agency are looking to find the lost oasis of Zerzura in the Western Desert, which a joint Italian and German team is also trying to find - while the 8th Army and the Africa Korps are slugging it out further north towards the coast of North Africa. The city at the oasis is not only a storehouse of occult treasures, some of which could alter the course of the war, but is also home to djinn.
Failing that (which would be a lot of work for something that would only probably last a couple of sessions), there is also our 1930s treasure hunter Ze Ze Bastide, a French female Indiana Jones who works in South and Central America. She's always good for one-shot adventures while I cook up something else more detailed.

Re: What to do next???
I agree, sometimes it's tough to decide what adventure series/campaign to go with next. The 1930s treasure hunter series does sound good, even if you only run a couple of one-shots with Ze Ze, it buys you time to figure out what your next campaign will be. You do a good job of coming up with different campaign themes/genres with BoL/Everywhen, etc...
After some time off, my wife and I continued our Hyborian Age "Hammer of Æs" campaign. We are in the middle of the "Trial of Blood" adventure (from Mongoose d20 Conan), we are at a fun junction point at the moment. Our characters took out the three Lord Barons of Tor (actually took out two, the other one was done in by one of the other Barons...) and my character stated "maybe we can set ourselves up as the new Lord and Lady Barons of Tor?" My wife's character, said that it did sound interesting, but what about the rest of the mission? Our characters are currently trying to decide what their next path will be.
We left off that campaign and went back to TFT, we were running a Monster Hunter campaign. Last night our characters met their deaths at the hands of a High Nosferatu and his pet Dire Wolf. I informed my wife that she could continue to play her character as a Nosferatu, but she declined - she doesn't like vampires/vampire themes etc... at all. So that ended that storyline...
Next week we are going back to the Jalizar campaign, her character; Anya the Whitemouse Thief is going to be recruited to attempt to steal the Elephant's Heart from a strange tower in the city that belongs to a powerful (so it is rumored) mage.
We ran the Tower of the Elephant with the Mongoose d20 Conan rules years ago and I'll be running it now using BoL rules. Should be interesting.

Ahh, Tower of the Elephant - one of the classics, and one of the best starts to a Conan story ever!
I think there is a BoL adventure of TotE that someone wrote up and put on the internet for free. This was a good while ago (it might be written for Legendary Edition BoL), but you might still find it out there somewhere.

Re: What to do next???
I do have that adventure, I also have the TotE adventure from the Mongoose d20 Conan game. I had already converted the Xoth.net site's TotE adventure for a BoL some time ago and just changed it up for Jalizar in the Dread Sea Dominion setting.
It will be interesting to see if the PCs enter the tower by climbing or by going through the sewers tunnels that are prevalent underneath Jalizar. If they go through the sewers, they will have a couple of interesting encounters before they reach the tower.

Re: What to do next???
My next BoL/Everywhen plan is to use Sergio Toppi's Arabian Nights collection, Sharaz-de as the core influence, the stories are very evocative and any of them can become a full campaign with some work.
I am the one who writes for old school D&D, yet BoL and Everywhen are pretty cool too.

Sigulf, you have reminded me of the first BoL game I ever ran, set in Simon's Lemuria (naturally), where the PCs used a build up of methane in the sewers of Halakh to explosive effect!

Re: What to do next???
I've yet to play/run anything in Lemuria, going to have to rectify that. Maybe down the road we will get the chance, but I have so many other campaigns ongoing and planned for the future already. Just not enough time. 
My wife and I have been watching different You Tube videos of people ttrpging, we always discuss how much better (at least in our minds) the sessions would have been with the BoL mechanics.
Hopefully with the Ludospherik English Mythic+ edition a lot more people will give BoL a chance.
