Well let's put it back on the rails! :) Lower is better is a pretty old concept as you may know. Runequest 1st Ed. introduced it first with the percentile rolls. You should check out the Quickstart rules on DriveThru - as the core mechanics are there and they are free to download. You are...

Everything up to post #13 was reasonable and on-topic stuff from him. I wish it had stayed there.

A shame I spent so much time answering his on-thread questions only to see him derail something I put so much effort into. It's not the first time I've been whacked by a strawman and ad-hominem routine by him, but this is the first time it mattered to me at all. Anyway, I'm off to go to bed now...

I answered your questions several times as you developed your line of inquiry, and had already really tackled what you asked in my post on sexism and racism. You actually got a lot more detail than a simple 'no', but that this sort of thing isn't in Modiphius's offering on Conan was a very...

Prudish!? lol That's priceless... if you want to know what actual scorn looks like - ask a random female gamer who you don't know (like you don't know me or nearly anyone else here) which rpg's "take every chance to describe flesh on display" and "describe NPCs in various states of undress for...

Always a bit of a risk assuming what other people mean, and trying to make out you know what they consciously or unconsciously know or why they do things. I rarely say anything unconsciously, especially in written form, and your opinion on this reflects a certain point of view which I first...

You clearly haven't read the Conan stories, or you would know that titillation for it's own sake wasn't Howards thing. His characters were nearly always sensibly dressed and armoured for fighting, and when it came to sensual/sexual encounters it was understated as one might expect for Weird...

The Resistance talent rules are all in the core rulebook, and as for the rest, you can just play it that way. If your preference is for graphic novel pastiche, then you aren't lacking material from those very sources, and the rules will serve you just fine as written, even without using the...

Amazing that anyone would bother to argue what a GM is. The hobby defined this decades ago, and all more modern metagame mechanics or relative preferences for world-building detail did was give the definition a set of flavours. It's still the same job, and pretending that your own preference...

There is nothing in the game stopping you from playing a half naked barbarian - it's just going to hurt more when you get hit. The Conan the barbarian supplement has a Berserker Talent Tree if that is the sort of thing you like - although it is a mystic tradition as much as a representation of...

Not sure what you mean by "increased threat range". The key to driving the mechanic is to aim high as players and go for the extra dice (even when this costs Doom) when you need to - including not hoarding your Fortune Points - this in turn generates Momentum and provides more goodies, all of...

Don't worry, the cake is there (look at the main image I used...) it just doesn't have one sex simpering while the other flexes...

I forgot to include my observations on the sexism and racism of the 1930's and how it doesn't figure in the game at all. I posted this on another thread but it is useful and relevant to include it here also. Let's cover all stereotyping while we are here; Firstly, basically they have removed...

Remarkable how many people think that HPs make or break a creature. What rubbish - the very idea that a BBEG with such a suite of abilities and extremely high IQ will stand there and let people beat on it is hilarious. As a GM, you'd be hard pressed in my game to find out Moloch was the one...

A Review Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of By Modiphius Just as an intro here, I have read a number of reviews of this system and listened to some too, and haven’t yet come across one that didn’t make some odd mistakes in their explanations about how the rules worked, or what was what in...

Actually a very good fit for GoT is Conan:Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of. It's brutal and the magic is very, very similar. There is even a 'False Ressurection' spell like the one used on Kal Drogo for instance. It would of course require some retrofitting (as all system will of course...)...

You miss the mark here I think. Nowhere have I said that worldbuilding is always good, it is indeed sometimes an issue. But no-one has proven the contention that 'worldbuilding is bad' per se. It has been stated, I have said it's wrong and then forced to justify my defence of it despite the fact...

Very well said. Most of the criticism here is based eithet on the assumption that "my experience of a world-building GM was bad, so worldbuilding is bad" or the erroneous assumption that a GM running a game in a gameworld badly (either railroading or road blocking player agency) is doing it...

:p You can have the beach house, I'll take the dog...
