Also, a variant version of FEAR (presented as a feat) is available in that thread. INSTANT CAMPAIGN UPDATE: I've updated my first instant Conan campaign with additional details on Jelal's Estate (which I'm running tonight!). :cool...

The trailer looks horrible, and compounds this by being accompanied by blaring alterna-metal KoRn crap, rife with that annoying "cookie monster" vocal style that makes me run cursing for the mute button. What was wrong with the Dolph Lundgren 1990 version? Why "punish" us poor film-goers and...

Posted a 20 level version of my Femme Fatale core class for Conan here (scroll down): http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=12229#12229

Here's what they said today: "Mass Combat i'll try and do at home this weekend so you can have it up next week. Scrolls of Skelos is at the printers and (I believe) on track for its March Release. I'll aim to also have the errata and FAQ out for you next week as well." The official Mongoose...

I've also added a Slaver "flavor" class http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1308 and two new Lotus types (Emerald and Red) http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1311

IRON_CHEF is pleased to announce the release of his second free INSTANT CAMPAIGN for the CONAN RPG. :cool: This time, I provide a corrupt Aquilonian mining town ripe for the picking, with all the movers and shakers detailed! Rival gangs battle in the streets, murders are done in broad...

Conan the RPG has slave prices, but the Hyborian Age setting uses a silver standard. For standard high fantasy settings that use a gold standard, simply change sp to gp. SLAVE PRICES IN THE HYBORIAN AGE 150 sp female, high born, educated, beautiful 60 sp female, beautiful 30 sp female, common...

This episode was so boring; we've seen it all before. Just a cheap excuse to save money, in my book. Doctor Flox is just not an interesting character like the Hologram was on Voyager; he is incapable of carrying an episode. His alien make-up looks stupid, only slightly better than that terrible...

I'm putting this class together for Mongoose's "Signs & Portents" magazine and am looking for constructive criticism on how to improve it or anything missing (such as equipment or class skills) that should be added. Thanks!

First, you're welcome! :D Scarlet-Blades is a great resource; check out the Hyborian Lore section for a collaboration I did with them on the Hand of Ishtar. Second, I'm of the mind that nearly any country might host such games, but not on such a grandiose Roman Empire scale or permanent...

Oops. My bad. Didn't have my book in front of me. :o

Palladium, as I recall, did it this way: Roll to hit. If you hit, the defender chooses to parry or dodge. If you dodge, you lose your next attack. If your dodge or parry roll equals or exceeds the attacker's to hit roll, you are not hit. I think you got one free parry per round without losing...

There was a poster hanging on the wall of a crazy nerd puppet on tonight's episode of Crank Yankers that read "On the Eighth day, God created Dungeons & Dragons". :D

I hear TROS is quite good and it does seem to be popular among Harniacs. Unfortunately, my FLGS doesn't carry TROS, and I'd feel guilty about ordering it, not buying it, and leaving them stuck with a copy. TROS is dice pool based, right? I'm generally leery of bucket o' d6 systems.

Agreed. However, it's not wholly incompatible with them, either, depending on your play style. It certainly fits them better than D&D. The difference between the bleak world philosophy of Howard and Lovecraft is that Howard believed mankind could make a difference, however slight or temporary...

I think Conan The RPG should work extremely well with Lankhmar, Thieves' World, Kane, Kull, Freeport, Elric, Cthulhu Dark Ages, HarnWorld, etc. All you'll really need to do if not using the setting is to modify weapons, armor, equipment, do up a new religion chapter, and alter the racial...

The new video release SCORCHED portrays D&D players as misfit nerds and angry criminals. Young hotty Rachel Leigh Cook screams "You wanna jack with the ripper?" as she spaces out into a fantasy world (in her head) where she turns into a +1 dagger throwing Xena clone, doing martial arts and...

Well, for cinematic/heroic games, Conan offers a +1 across the board stat bonus starting at 6th level (in addition to the normal +1 to one stat at 4th). Character generation offers a new herioc method: all abilities start at 8 and then you add a 1d10 roll to each to get your stat, arrange as you...

By now, you've seen my instant campaign starter (taking the party from Shem to Zamboula to Zamora) on the Mongoose Conan forum. If this doesn't turn you on, here is another option: The campaign journal for CONAN RPG: ROAD OF KINGS author Vincent Darlage's WAR ON THE BORDER Conan campaign. One...
