Howard's Cōnǝn. Not de Camp's. Not Marvel's. Not film's. Born on a battlefield; parents weren't murdered; didn't grow up a slave; black hair; blue eyes.

Won't take much to scrub it from Wayback Machine as well. One call from Taylor Lorenz would do it since she's tight with the owners of the site (they've scrubbed every mention of her name from their archive).
I recommend finding another, different (or personal) archive.

Part 2: Why didn't Howard write Conan's origin tale?
TLDR: He didn't want to.
Long version: The reason you’ve never seen Howard’s version of Conan on-screen is the same reason you never will; the vast majority of screenplays...

That brings Part 1 to a close. I'll add Part 2 this weekend (hopefully).

I often praise Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion as a primer on how to play a Paladin in D&D (which is why she wrote it).
But anyone who's read it also knows it's a great portrayal of a D&D Druid.
If you play D&D and have not read Deed of Paksenarrion, you are wrong.

You're a white guy, pumping a film about a tribe responsible for a huge portion of the African slave trade, written by 2 white women.
Maybe 1 star raters aren't the racists in this scenario.
Meanwhile every non-racist S&S fan on Earth is (still) waiting for an Imaro film.
“We don’t hate that she’s black or that she’s a woman, we just hate that they have to ‘race-swap’ characters instead of creating new, strong characters for black actors and women!”

So, Tencent owns Funcom; Funcom owns Cabinet; and Cabinet owns the rights to Robert E. Howard's non-public domain works, like Conan.

One of the most egregious omissions made when praising D&D cover artists (Parkinson, Elmore, Easley) is forgetting Clyde Caldwell. Sadly, I am also guilty of this.
