I kinda am, admittedly.

My Exiled Lands SP character is a straight-up necromancer. He’s a pretty Howardian scientist who lacks the morality that would hinder his research into the secrets of life and death. The best thralls are inducted into his inner circle as sort of a cult, with vague promises of eternal life.

My Siptah SP character is an adventuring archaeologist who triggered a magical trap in the 1980s and was transported into the Hyborian Age. She tends to justify the means to her ends a bit too easily. As the island is full of archaeological points of interest for studying, she needs to make sure that she has a proper infrastructure to supply her “expedition”. And, you know, bearers and servant tended to have nasty fates in the old Tarzan movies, and no-one seemed to care, so such hazards as crocodiles, falling off cliffs or being turned into an arrow-cushion by angry natives are just part of their job description.

And sacrificing victims on a dark altar is just a hands-on part of intercultural studies.
