Hyperborea (Role-Playing Game)

Hyperborea is sword-and-sorcery table-top role-playing game based on Hyperborea as described or informed by the fantastic literature of Robert Ervin Howard, Howard Phillips Lovecraft,  and Clark Ashton Smith. It uses the original Dungeons & Dragons rules options from 1974, and is part of what has come to be called the Old School Revival (OSR) movement in table-top role-playing.
It is published by North Wind Adventures. The first edition was released in 2012 and the game is now supported online and has print on demand versions of some of its earlier releases. In 2013, the first full year of its original release, it received nominations (but did not win) in the following competitions:
*North Texas RPG Con 2013, Three Castles RPG Design Award
*ENnie Awards 2013, Best Game
*ENnie Awards 2013, Best Production Values
*ENnie Awards 2013, Product of the Year
The game made some effort to be faithful to the original source material in the works of the Lovecraft Circle authors but balance that with playability and more than passing reliance on the Marvel Comics conceptualisation of Conan the Barbarian from its many years of publishing what was essentially a pastiche of the original tales.
