Crom cares not about heresy!

I work for Modiphius but have long been a member here. I'm on the fluff side of Conan, though. My only question is why you seem to hate the game so much. It seems personal. You can play it or not play it as you like. I can tell you that Modiphius doesn't astroturf, having worked for them for...

Crunchy means a game is rules heavy. Rules lite is the opposite. The Conan 2D20 is designed to be a rules lite version of the Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition 2D20 system. So, MC3 has more crunch versus Conan (and John Carter) which are "lighter."

It's not even out yet, though, WaterBob. You're judging it without seeing the final product.

If you like Conan D20, why are you so strident in your vocal dislike of this game which is, I should note, still in playtesting? It is unliikely anyone will force you to play it or buy it.

That presupposes that Threat is the only mechanic which causes danger in the game. It's an extra not a substitute for die-rolling and general GM plotting. The GM needn't even use it in the way you assume. Yes, he or she could add more guards. he or she could also rule that it costs the player...

I don't see the quandary here. Threat creates a basic tension between the character's goals and the evorinoment. Tension and conflict are at the heart of all drama. If you know, as a player, that you can keep trying the craziest thing imaginable without increasing risk, what is the point of NOT...

Well, sure we are. Like I said, without necromancy, there isn't much more we can do, but we are trying to avoid the pitfalls of past pastiche. I think that's the best anyone can do playing in somebody else's garden. Hopefully, it all comes out of a deep love for REH's version of Conan. I don't...

Well, we have the experts on the case. So, it should be about as faitful as one can get without necromancy.

Suboati and Akiro would not appear in the current Conan game. It's REH as canon and whatever is made up in that vein.

I hope so. Make it easy on me.

How would folks feel about sections of Barsoom mapped out as sandbox hex crawls? It wouldn't be the whole setting, obviously, but certain areas would be hex maps full of encounters and plot seeds. Both a nod to the old school nature of John Carter, and something to feed GM's imaginations.

I'm one of the developers at Mōdiphiüs, and we want your input on John Carter. What would like to see in the game? What areas of Barsoom are you most interested in? What mysteries (if any) do you want answered or addressed? Are you more interested in playing John Carter and canon heroes, or...

I'll look through my Twilight collection and see if I'm missing any. I think I have it all.

2981 was a very good year for me.

Gotcha. Thanks!

I cannot see the results. Someone said they were on the front page, but that was an older post. Are the results somewhere?

Where is the poll posted or the results therof?

What bothers you about it, Water Bob?

I'm pleased to announce a new Conan RPG I'm involved in. http://www.modiphius.com/conan.html
