Gorean Roleplay as it directly relates to Barbarians of Gor.
  • This wiki will not teach you how to role-play within Gor. If you have never role-played in a Gorean setting you should reach out to one of the server admins by opening a ticket in Discord. This will allow us to make sure you know what to expect, get you some information on where to learn, and hopefully find you a role-play partner that will help you.
  • This wiki will not seek to define what is or is not "By The Book", as individual opinions vary significantly. We feel that any discrepancies in interpretation can be handled in character or within individual clans and towns.
  • This wiki however will define the barest minimums expected for all players as well as any necessary adjustments because of the game environment.

General Appearance

All avatars must meet the minimum standards, no exceptions. Admins reserve the right to make changes to your avatar to meet this minimum level of immersion. Repeat offenses will result in loss of white list status and or possible banning.

  • Adult (sexually mature) avatars are required.
  • Human looking avatars with naturally occurring body, hair, eyes and skin are required. (Albinos require special permission.)
  • Grossly disproportionate avatar shapes are not allowed.
  • Regardless of item availability medieval clothing is required. (Short shorts are not acceptable)
  • Less than full platemail regardless of item availability. More on this below.

Expectations

The following expectations are subject to change. This current list is the Open Beta Draft while will be discussed with the player leadership and ratified based on consensus three months after official opening. It is our intention to allow, within reason, for the player base to influence the following expectations.

Armor

Armor as a clothing necessity
There is only so many clothing options in Conan Exiles. Luckily most of the "armor" is some combination of leather. However, it is far more "armor" then would be allowed in typical Gorean setting. Consequently, we are allowing armor up to and including chainmail, but not platemail. Please do not push the line and make an effort to keep your look as "low armored" as possible.
Fictionally, we expect characters to be both surprised by the types of armor worn by the natives, as well as concerned that the Priest Kings may enforce their armor restrictions on this lost continent. Some Goreans may feel that the Priest Kings do not care about what is done here. We expect it to be an interesting in character debate.
Armor as a functional need
Armor is both necessary for game play as well as having little impact on PvP. Consequently there is no restriction on anyone, including slaves or free women, for wearing armor HIDDEN under cosmetic clothing, see the Fashionist mod.
Please note that all wearables is considered "armor" in Conan Exiles, there is no distinction between armor and clothing. Respect the player's effort!
