I got a copy of the Iron Kingdoms Character guide over the weekend. It's a great book and I look forward to playing. I was only quasi-interested in Iron Kingdoms before buying the Character Guide; I will without question be buying the World Guide when it comes out. The mechanics, the art (!)...

I'm a dual-owner of GW and DW and I find useful and enjoyable bits in both product lines. If I had to make a choice between the two I'd go with DW for a few reasons. • GW seemed to hit End of Life simultaneous with its release. DW, on the other hand, is ALIVE with regular doses of errata, free...

dang you, silly barfing board!

sounds cool! As an owner of Darwin's World, Gamma World, Omega World, REDLINE, Motocaust... I'm into the idea of post-apoc gaming, ya. :cool:

Every weekday between 10 AM and 2 PM PST ENWorld consistently times out for me. I don't think the bottleneck could possibly be on my end as work (yeah, guilty as charged) has a big ol' fat pipe. Known issue? Something others have experienced? Worth investigating on the server end? Thanks!

The game store near my work got four copies today. I went there after work and there were three copies left. Impressions soon. Ish. Soonish.

I've checked my two main game suppliers (one near home, one near work) and neither had copies yet. I'm gonna try again Tuesday ("new shipment day" for both) and if there are no copies it's gonna be online ordering time for me. If you wanna read thoughts from people who already have the book I...

Is anyone else timing out attempting to hit EN World? Howdy! I try and I try, but I can't seem to get a successful connection to EN World before 2 PM PST on any given week day. Is the site particularly hammered between 10 AM and 2 PM PST or is The World thwarting my attempts to avoid work...

There's a notion of styles: Mesmerism, Counterspell, Nature, etc. The PC Scholar has access to certain styles based on the background you select; acolyte of a church, willing thrall, uh, master of a demonic force, etc. The styles themselves are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but the...

I plan on having Fate Points be rare, very useful things that are awarded when significant progress is made (character goal, story goal). I think that's how they're intended in the Conan RPG. I plan on having Action Points be frequent, somewhat useful things that are awarded when players do cool...

It might seem a bit too powerful at first glance, but I don't think it will be when played out. The players that go for max HP on level up through FP expenditure are effectively nerfing their ability to Do Something Cool or Save Their Butt at some later point for a slightly inflated sense of...

I have an angle... I plan on making my players EARN their PCs' Fate Points. Here're some of the ideas I'm kicking around. How To Earn 'Em • take two: they're small and, to jumpstart the process, FREE • read "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian" • write up a background for the PC that'll provide...

variants good I bought Conan the RPG recently. I love it, glaring errors acknowledged and held to the side. Here're the variants I think sound cool: • Action Points (gimmicky player-induced impacts can be fun) • VP/WP instead of HP (wounds will be significant, lifelong baggage) • 3d6 instead...

I went to DunDraCon on President's Day weekend -- I didn't see any copies of the Conan RPG, but I've since been told that there were only a few copies and they all sold out in the first hour of the Dealers Room opening. Between not finding that book or any of the other five books on my "must...

Between the slump in attendance, the slew of canceled events, and the poor dealer room offerings, well, I'd say this was the worst DDC in many years. I had fun in my Friday night game, but the rest of the convention was pretty much a wash, game-wise. The game I really wanted (525) had been...

I found the dealer offerings lackluster HIJACK RANT: I'm finding clueless middleman vendors that put appearing knowledgeable and in control ahead of actually helping out the potential customer base, well, it's driving my business further towards exclusively ordering items online. Cheaper...

yeppers Goin'. 17 years strong and gro-o-o-owing. My posse (or am I their droog?) is also large, but somewhat smaller than in years past. Hopin' to play in some All Flesh Must Be Eaten and 7th Sea (Dragaera style!). Too hot in the hot tub!

It's good to be the king! From my memory of the Conan stories I'd expect none of his underlings to have anything even approaching the amount of wealth and resources necessary to deck themselves out similarly. Besides. He's Conan. When he's king, well, he needs to kick it up a notch.

minor details, pretty please? Say, like, a table of contents. Oh! And how is the low tech goodness presented? Bronze Agey, "You have a steel sword?! Gimme!" goings on?

y'all should check out Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Their covers are all excellent. All the Gimmes are in (other) punk bands so most of the covers end up being 4/4. Quite peppy! They frequently make the cut for my workout playlist. Some examples: Country Roads (John Denver) I Am a Rock...
