We need to bring back old school sword and sorcery, pulp, heavy metal fantasy. I want barbarians with oversized axes, chainmail bikinis, grotesque monsters, and that whole mix of bloody violence and sex appeal. Zoomers would absolutely love that stuff if they were actually exposed to it.

"Bring back" in what sense? The old stories are still there to read. Plenty of games have been and continue to be released.

I think the closest to it is Lamentations of the Flame Princess, but that's more 'weird horror fantasy' than 'cool Conan fantasy'.

Start with bringing back heavy metal, then. And doing terrorism against Disney, I guess.

The "old school" fantasy ideal you have in your head isn't "old school" at all. It has very little in common with what Howard or the other old school fantasists like Ashton Smith wrote. It was primarily pioneered by Frazettta, a wop who drew BBC porn (not even joking you can search it up if you want to).
But people on /tg/ don't even read the stories from the "based pulp writers" they claim to love so much. They're entry level secondaries.

Curious how you're an expert on BBC porn, and don't deny being a communist and rewriting history.

I'd love to see more post-apocalyptic stuff in this style, honestly. Fist of the North Star, Thundarr, I guess Horizon kinda counts.

Cuck ideology. The fuhrerprinzip means that you need to always to exactly what dear leader tells you to do, no matter how retarded, and that every time the fuhrer fucks up no responsibility is taken and the people below him in true hierarchy becomes scapegoats. It’s an ideology for people who loves being dominated.

Heavy metal fantasy has nothing in common with old school sword and sorcery pulps. Try again zoom zoom.

>I dislike people who draw nigger BBC art, like your hero frazetta.
You're not a National-Socialist, you're just a contrarian fucking gaywad. All my Nationalist brothers and sisters fucking love Frank Frazetta. The fact that you cannot look at the idealized human form without going "must be le gay" suggests that the only faggot here is (you). This is your daily reminder that the exultation of the human form as an aesthetic ideal was normative in the entire Third-Positionist/Fascistoid world, and fueled the entire Kraft durch Freude movement and its off-shoots, and that nudism was a popular folk movement within the Third Reich.If you're just a false-flag mongoloid pretending to be retarded online, you should kill yourself. If you're just a KKKiddo, fucking educate yourself instead of saying dumb shit, because as anyone that knows the teachings of the ancients can tell you; one would do well to be silent and listen, because nobody knows that you nothing know if you do not speak. You had to run your mouth, and now instead of me greeting you as a brother, all you've achieved is to make me want to punch you in your retard orifice.

>The Führerprinzip (German pronunciation: [ˈfyːRɐpRJnˌtsiːp] , Leader Principle) was the basis of executive authority in the government of Nazi Germany. It placed the Führer's word above all written law, and meant that government policies, decisions, and officials all served to realize his will. In practice, the Führerprinzip gave Adolf Hitler supreme power over the ideology and policies of his political party; this form of personal dictatorship was a basic characteristic of Nazism.[1] The state itself received "political authority" from Hitler, and the Führerprinzip stipulated that only what the Führer "commands, allows, or does not allow is our conscience," with party leaders pledging "eternal allegiance to Adolf Hitler."
In other words, everything dear leader say has to be followed and if his plans fail it's not because his retardation because he doesn't have to answer to anyone, it's everyone underneath him constantly failing to implement his perfect plans. No responsibility is ever taken for dear leaders failures because dear leader is flawless and has no responsibilities to anyone but himself. Cuck ideology for weak men who desires to be dominated.
>b-b-but muh wikipedia is le jew
It doesn't matter what sources I'd used. I could have quoted actual Nazi German law and literature and you would still have dismissed it as "Jewish propaganda". This is of course the ideal cuck citizen of the failed Reich in action, anything that contradicts their feelings has to be dismissed, any failure of the fuhrer cannot be a failure of the fuhrer because the fuhrer is the perfect being dominating his subjects and therefore the subjects themselves or an outside enemy force is to blame.

I do like me some scantily clad warriors and even more scantily clad warrior women fighting strange and weird monsters. Also for some reason the sky is never blue in this kind of art.I ran a great game of this stuff last spring using Barbarians of Lemuria. Step one: emphasize The Awesome, and never let the story get bogged down. Makes for great heavy metal adventures.

Man I did not realize how many of my Sword & Sorcery saved images actually have tits in them and thus are borderline on /tg/. Gotta look at those thumbnails carefully.

As a reaction to what? New D&D?
The indie scene is alive and well, and even flourishing.
Expand your horizons.

Conan is at his best when there are no women in his stories (Black River, Tower of the Elephant) or the women are waaaaaay out of the usual bimbo thing (Belit is hot as hell, but she's a fucking boss).Not that SS hasn't its fair deal of sexiness, but using it as cheap as fuck fanservice destroys that.

Do any of the games in this setting have a monk class? Most monks are twinks doing pressure points, a bad ass monk who punches through your skull seems cool.
