CONAN THE ROLEPLAYING GAME is OGL: "With the exception of the character creation rules detailing the mechanics of assigning dice roll results to abilities and the advancement of character levels, all game mechanics and statistics (including the game mechanics of all feats, skills, classes...

Also, here is a link to my thread about alternate uses for Fate Points, such as buying bonus feats or turning cross-class skills into class skills (a work in progress, feedback wanted): http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1173

You might want to check out my Conan critical hits systems (I have two different ones, including a fumble table): SUPER-CRITICAL HITS (NEW) The effects are by damage type (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing). Each type inflicts a bonus effect on a critical hit in addition to the damage multiplier...

I just got my heavily discounted Amazon copy yesterday, too! Now I have TWO copies of this book, which is really ideal for my group, as we have two alternating DMs. Plus, it allows the players to look up stuff in one copy while the other is in use by the GM. The other DM and I split the cost of...

Scarlet Blades is a new Conan RPG fan site that is quickly shaping up to be a major resource for NPCs and critters (with more stuff to follow). Highly recommended; each NPC comes complete with a detailed background capable of serving as springboards for entering your campaign, so they are ready...

There are now free pdf downloads of tables for all kinds of Conan races by character class levels 1-20, up on the Mongoose Conan page and in the forum (forum link below). This takes the burden off the CM ("Conan Master", my own personal term, LOL) and saves literally hours and hours of work...

HOW MY GROUP (2 DMs) ALWAYS HANDLED NPCS: As we only have ever had 1-3 players at most (usually 1-2), we've always liked having NPCs along, as both DMs and players. It never occurred to me that this was not the way everyone played until coming to ENWorld, LOL. The players would very often run...

Maybe I'm misremembering the rule, as one of my players (the alternate DM) ran off with my rule book to study. I think they want you to buy the Deflect Arrows feat in order to Parry missile fire, but I could be wrong about that, too. I don't have an answer for you, in any case. On a related...

Armor Class is called Defense Value (DV). You get two DVs, Dodge and Parry. You choose which to use each round, though in practice, you only use whichever one you're best at unless the situation disallows it (see below). Dodge = 10 + DEX mod + Class/Level Dodge bonus + Dodge feat (if taken) +...

Here are a list of helpful links to find Conan info in general or for your game: Official Conan site (new books, toys, cards, busts, comics coming out!) http://www.conan.com/index.shtml Official Conan Forums (discuss the RPG, Video Game, Merchandise, Stories)...

Buy.com has it for $29.95 last I looked. I ordered my 3.5 core books from Wal-Mart and they shipped well, except they delayed my Monster Manuals by a day. Each set of books (2 each) shipped separately by Express Mail, LOL, so I don't see how they made much money on my order. That's Wally...

Amazon shipped mine on the 7th (Sat.) at the discounted rate before they raised it to full price. Should be here by Wednesday... Which is good, because I really need a second CONAN book. One copy is not enough. I bought one for full price at my FLGS last Tuesday because I was expected to DM this...

I had only two players; everyone else was NPCs (only four of which had any personality or did any "real" talking). I gave each PC a related buddy, either a cousin or brother, and the rest of the Shemites were just extra's. I knew I wanted to run several mass battles to test the combat rules, and...

Against unarmored opponents at low levels, combat flies by, even if one side is armored. That's because if you are unarmored, you will DIE incredibly fast (two hits if you're lucky, but probably just one at first level). Ferx, I ran this fight: 11 elite Shemite Soldiers (level 1) and 2 elite...

I'm DMing my first ever Conan game tonight!!! :cool: I really love the flavor of the rules, and of course, the setting. Now to test the actual mechanics...

The Shemite city of Akbitan is also misplaced in Corinthia on the book map; this is corrected on the download version, but Arenjun is still misplaced outside the political borders of Zamora... Shadizar The Wicked is Zamora's capital city and seat of the King, not Arenjun. Arenjun is the...

More errors: Spellcraft is mentioned in the Knowledge (Arcana) skill's synergy bonus section, but not listed as a skill choice. Also, Perform (Ritual) is listed as a background skill for Stygians, yet there is no such subskill listed or explained under the Perform skill. Of what value is...

Okay, I've read the sorcery section; I think I've found an error. Prestidigitation sorcery style's first spell, Conjuring, has a prerequisite of Sleight of Hand 4 ranks, yet this skill is not on the Scholar list. The book says The Black Ring of Stygia teaches this sorcery style and spell at...

That's correct, you must have at least one empty five foot square or friendly occupied square in order to choose "Dodge" as your defense option each round.

My "Conan: First Impressions" thread talks about Dodge and Parry here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=76370
