•   At 13, Robert E. Howard, being of Scottish descent, began his studies of Scottish history and became fascinated with the Picts, whom he called "the small dark Mediterranean aborigines of Britain."[58] Later, as an author, he created the character Bran Mak Morn, the last king of the Picts, who appeared in stories in Weird Tales. The Picts also appeared as savages in many Conan the Barbarian books and comic books. It should be noted, however, that the Picts of Howard's Conan stories bear more resemblance with indigenous Native Americans than anything else, with particularly similarity in parts to pre-Colombian Central and South American cultures. In "Conan the Usurper", Conan journeys through the Pictish wilderness.[59]
•   The Picts are a faction in the Medieval: Total War expansion "Viking Invasion." The faction consists of the entirety of Pictish lands, rather than a single kingdom. A player can command a group of Pictish forces.[60]
•   In Werewolf: the Apocalypse, the lost tribe of the White Howlers was aid to have interbred with the Picts. They were ultimately corrupted into the Black Spiral Dancers, a perversion of all that is sacred to the Garou.
