[QUOTE="MongooseMatt, post: 3684007, member: 16996"] This is a fair point. And yes, we ran into this trouble with the first edition as well. There are whole swathes of the Midwest where you cannot buy the Conan RPG. However, while we have moderated D20 books for the US market (as you might imagine, it isn't really an issue in Europe, and I think we only ever had one complaint from the UK), we are not going to do it with Conan. There are certain raw, primal, savage aspects of Conan that we will not skip around. That does not mean 'boobies' are intrinsic to the setting per se. But we are not going to skip around the subject and plaster bras on everyone to avoid offence. It is not worthy of Howard, and it is not worthy of Conan. Distributors will inform stores of the content, just as they did with the first edition, and some stores will choose not to purchase it based on that warning. Yes, we lose sales that way, but I also believe we gain more from those who appreciate the Hyborian Age and what we try to do with it. Oh, as for the colour question, no, it is b/w. By doing this, we have greatly increased the size of the book (it really does look massive, brick-like, compared to the first edition), while at the same time reducing the price. It is still all hardcore Conan action though! [/QUOTE]
