Grugtor the Romantic Barbarian

Grugtor the Romantic Barbarian was the name of a novel written by Robert, the Fantasy Novelist in the 4th delusion in the Orb of Delusion module, apparently it was something he wrote to make a bit of cash whilst he was struggling to establish himself as an author.

Amongst fans of the Grugtor novels this novel is a point of contention, does it really count as part of the series or not. Robert's sister in law quite likes the novel.

I made a mockup of this cover in gimp using a fairly old Mills and Boon cover, Barbarus from the Castle age facebook game and a bunch of flowers. Since he is a romantic barbarian he has to have flowers.

I stretched the barbarus picture slightly, to give him a somewhat leaner appearance, to make him more like arnie than a modern day body builder.

Out of boredom one afternoon I actually started writing the opening chapter of this novel as a bit of fun, this is where Grugtor's in game traveling companion Marzug the Barbarian came from.
