Although this instalment might be dedicated to the famous barbarian, we are not limiting ourselves to just adventure in the Hyborian Age. This collection plays well to any game played in a Sword and Sorcery style setting, (and I'm not talking about the brand imprint by White Wolf either) and other related genres such as gladiatorial Sword-and-Sandal epics, Dying Earth subgenre works like the Dark Sun campaign setting and the Zothique cycle, or Sword and Planet works like the Barsoom series of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

RPGs these tunes could work well in: Any of the various Conan games, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, Barbarians of Lemuria, any iteration of the Dark Sun campaign setting, or any fantasy RPG featuring fast-paced, action-rich adventures. Spice in some music from my Mythos playlist and you'd have the makings of a decent collection for Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Carcosa, or any other weird fantasy roleplaying game.
