    Robert E. Howard's Conan AMA With Jason Durall & Chris Lites

    Spells are learned by having certain magical talents. Certain talents simply allow a spell to be learned, and certain spells require certain talents. Spells are fueled (for the most part) by successful Sorcery rolls that generate Momentum. Momentum lets sorcerers do things above and beyond the...

    Robert E. Howard's Conan AMA With Jason Durall & Chris Lites

    We have the rights to use any and all Conan material as source material. Our decision very early on was to hew only the the REH stories as our base, and develop original content more in tone with that, rather than accommodating a vast amount of fairly contradictory and uneven pastiche...

    Robert E. Howard's Conan AMA With Jason Durall & Chris Lites

    Robert E. Howard's Conan AMA With Jason Durall & Chris Lites

    I have found that one of the best approaches to any game is to assume that it's the first contact with a new game, and ease players into the system and setting as if they're experiencing gaming for the first time. This doesn't mean copious "this is how you roll a dice" explanations, but a simple...

    CONAN! The 4th Most Anticipated RPG Of 2016 Funds In Two Hours! Preview Here!

    It is a bit purple, but I should emphasize that one of our core goals is to emphasize the nihilism that REH injected, time to time, into the Hyborian Age. Read all at once, a reader might be taken aback by how often Conan and characters have these dreadful glimpses into an unimaginably vast...
