Introduction

In the taverns of Port Kar, the markets of Scagnar, and the wharves of the Twelve Isles, they speak in hushed tones of a place so far east that the very seas seem to swallow ships whole. Sailors seeking fortune and glory regale listeners with tales of narrow escapes from the precipice of the world itself at the fabled World's End. Few have ventured close and returned to tell the tale, and with each passing decade, the legends of lost ships and doomed expeditions grow.

Yet still, adventurous souls from the mainland are drawn to the siren's call of this enigmatic archipelago. They find rocky shores and hidden coves, teeming with danger and ripe with adventure. This is a land as Gorean as any they know, yet filled with echoes of Earth's ancient Hyborian Age. Strange new cultures, born of a time long past, thrive in this forgotten corner of the world.

The flora and fauna are a marvel, both familiar and yet impossibly alien. The very air seems to vibrate with the pulse of a bygone era, waiting to be rediscovered by brave explorers. For those willing to take the risk, the islands promise secrets beyond their wildest dreams. Will you answer the call, or will you succumb to the perils that have claimed so many before?

Welcome to Planet of Gor, a BtB PvP-RP experience set in a land not that dissimilar to Earth’s Hyborian age.

Server Setting

Planet of Gor is a btb book server, looking to provide an accurate Gorean experience. The stories take place on a decent size island thats uncharted beyond the cluster of islands known as the World's end.

• • The Call of the New Land**

• • Rumors and Whispers**

• In the dim glow of candle-lit taverns and bustling marketplaces, whispers began to circulate about a mysterious new land across the ocean. Tales of this uncharted territory painted vivid pictures in the minds of those who listened. The stories spoke of lush landscapes, unspoiled by human hands, where towering trees reached for the sky and rivers sparkled like liquid diamonds under the sun.*

• • The Promise of Riches**

• Among the most enticing of these rumors were those of unimaginable riches waiting to be discovered. It was said that the land overflowed with gold and precious stones, treasures that promised wealth beyond the wildest dreams of any who dared to seek them. The prospect of fortune was a siren's call, pulling at the hearts of the brave and the adventurous.*

• • A New Beginning**

• For many, the tales of the new land were not just about wealth but also about the promise of a fresh start. The land was rumored to be a place where anyone could carve out a new life, free from the constraints of the old world. Families dreamt of fertile soil where crops would flourish, and individuals imagined opportunities that had been elusive in their current lives.*

• • Gathering the Pioneers**

• As the rumors spread, they ignited a spark within those who had always yearned for adventure. Pioneers began to gather, sharing their plans and pooling resources. They were a diverse group, bound together by a shared dream of discovery and a desire to explore the unknown.*

• • Becoming Part of the Legend**

The pioneers knew that settling in the new land would not be easy. It would require courage, resilience, and a willingness to face the unexpected. Yet, the allure of becoming part of something grand, of writing their own chapter in the history of this mythical place, was irresistible.

• • The Journey Begins**

And so, with hearts full of hope and a spirit of adventure, they set sail. Their ships cut through the waves, leaving behind the familiar and heading toward the promise of the new land. As they ventured forth, they carried with them the hopes and dreams of all who believed in the tales of mystery and wonder. The journey to the new land had begun, and with it, the creation of a new legend!

About Gor

By the Book

It is our intention to create a game environment that is suitable for By the Book Gorean role-players. We have carefully curated our selection of mods and scripts with this in mind, and intend to continue doing so. However, there are limits on what we are willing to enforce. <Read Me>

New to Gor

The new to Gor section offers links and articles to help new players get up to speed on our fiction. We are attempting to cultivate a like-minded community that is pro-Gor. We take our fiction seriously and expect you to learn. Our application is focused on making sure you are reading about our setting and rules and demonstrating you are willing to learn the fiction.

If you're not yet on page with this goal, you're welcome to join us as long as you're moving toward the goal. If you have no desire to fit in (or worse, you're just here for easy targets), this may not be the server for you. <Read Me>

About Gorean Slavery

"What is most important to note is that Gorean slavery is but a single aspect of a much larger realm. If you feel that Gor is only about slavery, then you are missing out on a vast world of other Gorean ideas and concepts. Gorean philosophy touches on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy and so much more. It draws its inspiration from such sources as Plato’s The Republic, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius and Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil. It deals with more than just personal relationships, encompassing also how man interacts with government, society and nature. In these respects, it is vastly more encompassing than BDSM or D/S. BDSM and D/S are most often a matter of personal relationships, the interaction of two people.

We are here for more then just private personal relationships, but rather seek to explore the entire scope of the fiction as a living breathing world. <Read More>

About Conan Exiles

Barbarians of Gor is set in the virtual world of Conan Exiles. Conan Exiles is available from Steam. There is a significantly discounted version of the game from CD Keys. If you need help purchasing the game please open a ticket. We highly recommend launching the game through Steam as we use custom mods which are automatically downloaded and installed when the server is launched through Steam.

Our server is set up to promote group play and is not intended to be viable as a solo player. Even small clans will want to work with other clans to meet the needs of large building and thrall projects. Additionally, many of the new features, such as sorcery and golems have been restricted or eliminated to fit the fiction of Gor. Gor is a harsh world, and the game play matches that. <Read More>

Some things you might not know about Conan Exiles and Private Servers:

• The game can be purchased for under $10 via CD Keys for Steam, come ask us how. You will need the DLC Isle of Siptah.
• Even if you do not own a DLC you can SEE and USE items from those DLCs, you just can not craft them yourself.
• PvP can be restricted based on online clan numbers - it doesn't have to be about getting your base destroyed while you are off line.
• Purge settings can also be set similarly.
• Building damage and decay can be adjusted.
• While you do need to trust those in your clan, we are scripting a "super clan" or RP Town system that will allow small clans to SAFELY ally.

About Second Life

For a long time, we have felt that role-play in second life would be significantly improved by a "game to play". One that brought the world into focus by providing the ability to interact with the world with things such as; game economy, needed resource gathering, crafting, expanded PvP options including the ability to damage buildings and more. Conan Exiles offers a nearly perfect game setting for the world of Gor. <Read More>

About the Team

The admin team for Planet of Gor and Barbarians of Gor have many years of Gorean knowledge, most have been together for decades and have a great deal of experience in running customized (modded) online games, role-play communities and the world of Gor. This isn't our first rodeo, if you'd like to know more about us please join discord and ask.

Season Four

Season Four has began. We are in the process of upgrading our educational offerings, streamlining the application process, and onboarding new players. As always the wiki is a work in progress. As of Jul 9th, a significant re-organization was made.
