Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea
![]() |
Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea is an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Sword & Sorcery Retroclone published by North Wind Adventures. It takes a lot of inspiration from Robert Howard, H. P. Lovecraft, and Clark Ashton Smith. Currently on its third edition, which was renamed Hyperborea.
Notable for mostly sticking to the Fighter/Thief/Wizard/Cleric classes but giving each a bunch of subclasses to allow for parties to differentiate themselves. Which is good, because humans are the only playable race, with cultures based on the old Conan stories: Kimmerians, Picts, Stygians, etc.
