My take on the map of the world in the Hyborian Age

I'm working on the map of thurian continent only with locations mentioned by R. E. H., here's first w.i.p.:

Gaining experience

Well to emphesize some themes characteristic to the Sword & Sorcery genre, I've decided to make a list of things that characters can do to gain experience.

Experience for Exploration
1 exp for every 6 miles travelled by the road
5 exp for every 6 miles travelled off-road
10 exp for every 6 miles of sea-travel
2 exp for every 6 miles of river-travel
50 exp for finding long lost ruins

Experience for Carousing
1 exp for evert 1gp spent on luxurious possesions and entertainment
2 exp for every 1gp spent on booze
5 exp for every 1gp spent on whores
8 exp for every 1gp spent on drugs
10 exp for every tavern brawl

Experience for Fighting
Gaining experience from fighting is achieved not only when the adversary is killed, but also when the combat was avoided.

Scoundrel class

Hit Dice: 1d10/level(gains 3 hp/level after 9th)

Scoundrel is a person, who by either his wit, charm or steel gets what he wants.

Two-weapon fighting master: Scoundrel gains +2 bonus to attack roll instead +1 while fighting with two weapons.

Information-gatherer: Scoundrels are well-rounded in social interactions, thus they roll twice on rumor tables when gathering them. Also they can try to obtain useful knowledge about people, their whereabouts and secrets by making a saving throw by discretion of the Referee.

Saving Throw: Scoundrel gains +1 on dexterity-based  saving throws.

Character sheet

Here's my new character sheet for the Hyborian Tales Campaign:

Welcome

Hi, I'm working this blog will be dedicated to my side-project the Hyborian Tales - a campaign and rules inspired by the great works of Robert E. Howard about the Hyborian Age. This will be Howard-only campaign and a bit of H. P. Lovercraft's Cthulhu Mythos.

Howard's world was made in wide brush strokes, the aim of this blog is to build upon this wide brush strokes adding my own creations.

Game-wise, this campaign will be using Labirynth Lord with a fair share of the Swords & Wizardry: Core Rules game with some house rules detailed in the following posts.
