Are there any good Sword & Sorcery, humans only, TTRPGs out there right now? Something that evokes the flavor of Howard, Lieber, and De Camp?

You want Conan Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of. Get the PDFs from the Share Thread.

Is that new Conan RPG, Hyborian Age, any good?

Here's a nicer version of that piece of art, OP. Ken Kelly was real good at what he did. For some reason, the version you posted is more commonly posted than this one despite this version being found on his website(s).

Barbarians of Lemuria or Everywhen with the Sword and Sorcery Codex.

Or, in a slightly different vein, DCC with the Lankhmar boxed set.

If every recommendation you get is missing some things you want, what are you going to do?

It doesn't use the "AGE" system from Green Ronin.

Shadow, Sword, and Spell. Basic mechanic is 2d12 roll under stat+skill.

I considered BRP and I really enjoy it's skill system but I would like something like the Jackals talent system to augment those skills.

I'm thinking of making my own but I have no experience with homebrewing. I'm looking at a 1d10 roll plus skill (1-5) versus Target Number system. What kind of problems should I expect?

Like I said earlier I really like BRP and Mythras and how they handle things but I would like special talents like D&D Feats to augment abilities and set characters apart as pulpier or just extraordinary.

...where?
Wasn't there an entire thing for combat styles and cards in Mythras?
Doesn't BRP have super powers?
Or use parts from Pulp Cthulhu.

Most of those powers are too superpowered, I'm talking about Talents like in the Jackals RPG.

Also Mythras combat styles are just lists of weapon proficiencies.

So where did you say this earlier?
Take a look at Pulp Cthulhu. The entire idea is BRP is modular.
I only looked at the cover of the Jackals ages ago, how do Talents work in it?
