A few weeks ago I ran the 2d20 Modephius Conan adventure "Seethers in the Darkness" having converted it to BoL.  Pretty good adventure over all.  

I am now running a Warhammer Old World Campaign for my wife and I using the BoL rules.  She is running a High Elf Noble/Sorceress and a Bretonnian female sell-sword that fights with a longsword and short sword combo.  My NPC/PC character is a sell-sword turned bounty hunter from Ostland, he fights with a zweihander.

Have run a couple of adventures already and are in the middle of a fan-made adventure called Warband (by Colin Chapman) that I have converted to BoL.  Played the first part last night and are going to finish it tonight.  Pretty cool little adventure - saving a small village from some Greenskins!

I've been watching some You Tube Warhammer live play and really got the urge to play in that setting again.  I have always liked the Old World - having read the Gotrek and Felix series and many others in the past.

BoL works pretty good for that setting - with the careers and all. 

So a while back I watched a YouTube Warhammer fantasy adventure live play called "Something Wicked", from what I gathered it was a scenario/adventure made up by the GM Humphrey Ker (I could be wrong, but that is what I recall.)  He did a great job GMing, there were 3 PCs, one was outstanding - the other two, not so much (I'm being kind...).  I really liked the adventure, and I jotted down some notes to possibly run it myself - of course, using BoL rules!

I converted the adventure to BoL, with some changes to the story for my purposes and ran it for my wife and me.  It took two sessions, in the end, I asked my wife what she thought, and she said, "that was a great adventure".  I asked her if she remembered me watching a live play where the female elf character took a dump in the middle of the street, and she said "yeah, I do" I told her that she just played that same adventure, with some changes of course.  She was really surprised, since she had heard some of the play.

She is playing two characters, a female High Elf Sorceress and a female Bretonnian sell-sword.  All three of our PCs were bitten by were-wolves, and her sell-sword failed her Strength task roll.  The PCs had to find a cure, believing that they were all infected.  A Priest of Sigmar told them that they had until the next full moon, 18 days away.  I made a little side-quest for her where they ended up in a city and were able to find a herbalist/alchemist to make a potion.  I told her that I would roll the NPCs task roll in secret and if he failed, the potion was no good and her character would turn during the next full moon, becoming my NPC to control.  That got her a little scared...

In the end, the NPC made the "demanding" task roll and the potion worked.

Tonight, we are going to play "A Shadow Falls" a fan made Warhammer adventure written and designed by Court Dimon (AKA HedgeWizard).  I have converted it for BoL and it really looks pretty good.
 

And a Happy New Year to you too? (How's it shaping up?)

Glad to see that you and the better half are still having fun playing BoL. My wife and I run 1GM-1 Player games ourselves, usually on a turn and turn about rota. Last year I ran a successful Hyborian campaign using BoL, as well as a Everywhen/BoL adaptation of 'Warlords of Atlantis' (written for the 'Barbaric' rpg).

This year I'm planning to run a campaign set in the world of King Kull, adapting the setting in the 'Book of Quests', written for Runequest 6th Edition. I'm waiting for the joint Everywhen & BoL compatable 'Sword & Sorcery Codex' which should be available soon.

I was put onto it by someone posting in another place that BoQ was easily convertable to a Conan campaign. When I saw it had Serpent Men and an evil necromancer I instantly thought - "Kull!"

Happy to pass on the idea - I only wish I could remember who posted the original idea, so I could give them the credit.

My idea is for the game to take place with Kull as king and fighting a war with Commoria. The setting's country of 'The Realm' would be close to, but not on the border with, Commoria. Kull is concerned about the ruler's loyalty, so has sent a group of spies to the barony (or whatever I decide to call it). The spies are serving soldiers in the Valusian army, seconded to the secret service, loosely based on the real world Roman secret service. 

The soldiers are travelling as a spice merchant and his bodyguards. The merchant is the commander of the unit, and will set up shop in the capital, with some accompanying staff. His bodyguards - Pictish light cavalry - will be 'paid off' and look for employment elsewhere. They will roam the country (searching for signs of  disloyalty) while the merchant becomes a fixture in the capital (keeping a close eye on goings on there). The 'mercenary Picts' will return to the capital from time to time, to secretly report to the merchant. He is responsible for sending reports back to Kull.

While they are fulfilling their mission they will become involved with the scenarios in BoQ. By the way, the Baron (or whatever I call the ruler) will prove in the end to be loyal to King Kull.
