You are one of the best to ever do it Ian and now you would grant us, your loyal listeners, with glorious fantasy! Praise be 🙌🏻 Hope to hear some Gemmell and Iggulden brought to life by your dulcet tones. Many thanks.

Warren is alice

I was initially expecting to hear 'Welcome to Fantasy Babble!' - but I figure you don't want to be visited by the ghost of Ricardo Montalban. :D

🍻🍻🍻

I had no idea this existed. Amazing. Thank you!

You fool! Conan is dead!

This makes me so happy. Thank you for it! I’ll be painting all day in my studio listening to great stories

I've been so excited for this and here I am 8 days after upload...thanks for no notification YT 😂 brilliant work, went way past my expectations, thank you so much for doing Conan, this one is a classic, will you be doing the stories in order then? Either way, I can't wait for more. 💜 Imagine Fantasy Babble and The Cybrarian doing a collaboration for the Hour of the Dragon..😮😎

BUT HOW DO WE KNOW IF WARREN IS DEAD OR NOT?

More ‘Ian Voice’. Subbed.

Marvelous collection; I particularly appreciate how the stories are chronological based on date of publication. You can really see the organic growth of the Hyperborean mythos. On a separate note, will any of these wall papers be available for purchase/download? They are fantastic.

You know you missed the chance to say, "You fool! Warren is... Sorry, wrong channel."

So, do I get to live on this channel? Warren!

I love your work. Thank you Sir.

Complete

Thanks Ian and team. Great stuff!

I have been looking forward to this for so long and you did not disappoint Ian. You knocked it out of the park, can't wait to hear future fantasybabble stories.

The author cheekily used the same plot for a King Kull tale. Another great Babble presentation.😊

This was great! Would love to hear you do some of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories if it's a possibility.

Just found out that this existed from a HB post. I love the retro opening!

Thank you Sir Ian. There are so very many excellent stories I am looking forward to on this channel. Everything from Howard, to Burroughs, to Moorcock, and on. Sword and sandal, Fantasy, and Planetary Romance, among the many adventures that await. Looking forward to your next. 🗡️ ⚔️

Hail to the king baby

Love the Conan stories…🌻🌻Thank you for this added channel.💕😊🌻🌻🌻

Looking forward to hours of entertainment listening to Ian's incredible voice reading another genre!!

More Ian = More Better!!!

Of all the stories of Conan, this is the first one that I ever heard. Hiw fitting for it to be the first to occupy this channel.

So a couple days ago I randomly stumbled over your Lovecraft stories and your channel due to youtube autoplay. I was so impressed with how you made the story come alive with your reading. I am going to go through all of your Lovecraft readings. Tonight I was just thinking how awesome it would have been if you did Conan. Despite not seeing it before, I find that you just uploaded your first Conan story a day ago. I am quite excited for more of this.

Since warren may be alive in this alternate reality, we need "BY CROM" as our intro

I’m happy to see another entry in the fantasybabble catalogue. Keep it up, Ian!

This is a great new venture. I love Robert E. Howard. The Amber Chronicles by Zelazny would make a fantastic series.

Yes!

And with this the Babble Empire expands ever further. Well done Mr. Gordon!

Love that echo effect on the ever important chapter one,

Great story and narration! So much action, background, and history of Conan's world are included in this story. What a treat! Thanks!

This is great Ian! I'm a Marine Corps Iraq war vet and one of the best most enjoyable ways for me detached from all the chaos is by listening to short stories(Dark/Fantasy and Horror). I realy appreciate all the work you and the HB/FB team put in.

What a great video to start this channel with. Smith was the master of Weird Tales

Thank you, Ian. And thanks to all the members of the Babble team… Crom smiles upon you from his Mountain! 🏔️ ⚔️🛡️🏹🔥

I did not know conan was based on a story.

The Conan Chronicles are some of my favourite sword & sorcery tales, but l would like to put in a request for a reading of Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser by Fritz Leiber, fantastic storys. And another brilliant story tho likely still in copyright, is The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers, possibly the best time travel story ive ever read.

This was my first Conan story. Glad to hear your narration

PLEASE do the other 21 stories. I have money.
