    Thanks for delurking! :) The proofreading was poor, as usual for Mongoose, AEG and many other RPG publishers. We are (slowly) getting official errata for the game from Mongoose and have a thread of found errors going on on the Mongoose Conan forum. Hopefully, an official errata pdf will be...

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of people posting to this thread. :( I know the game is new, but I'm not seeing a lot of ENWorlders saying they've bought the book or are planning to, yet Mongoose says over half the print run is sold out. Is it the $50 price tag scaring people here off? Is it...

    You're welcome! :D I hope others will be able to use it to get their Conan games off and running quickly, since there is no starter adventure included in the book. Anyone who uses it should post feedback for me (either here or in the thread at Mongoose's Conan forum). I'm curious to know what...

    My 800th post, and what better reason for it than to announce that CONAN RPG designer Ian Sturrock himself has acclaimed my Instant Campaign as "very nice!" Woo hoo! :cool:

    Another new installment! This time, the PCs rub shoulders with the high and mighty of Zamboula, and are presented with multiple options to get revenge, get rich and get out! Who to trust? Who to betray? Who to kill? :D http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1226

    Now in progress! Complete details on what happens if the PCs return to Zamboula after their deadly battle in the Eastern Desert. I will be covering the noble houses, the priesthood of Hannuman, and the Turanian faction, and how to embroil the PCs in the three factions treachery and intrigues...

    Posted more to my "instant" CONAN Campaign. This installment takes the PCs from their battle in the Eastern Desert to Arenjun, famed City of Thieves in Zamora, in the company of two Stygian sorcerers who may prove to be deadly enemies... This incorporates a golden opportunity to run REH's "Tower...

    Got Alignments?

    I always thought Palladium's alignment system made sense, at least vs. 1e D&D. I believe 2e made such a fuss about explaining alignments in more detail in part because of Palladium's version. And I don't think ANYBODY understood True Neutral in 1e D&D. :p The best way to deal with alignment...

    d20 but non-DnD combat sources?

    I've seen this discussed: HP = Con + Str mod + Toughness feat. To keep HP low, Toughness should provide +1 hp/level (up to 10th level in Conan) and can only be taken once.

    d20 but non-DnD combat sources?

    Conan originally had Dodge and Parry rolls oppose attack rolls in combat (roll 1d20 when hit, add your Dodge or Parry bonus, then equal or beat your attacker's roll). They streamlined this in the final version (making both Dodge and Parry flat ACs--you choose to use whichever you're better at...

    Just added a bunch of appropriate feats for the Femme Fatale class to choose from, a couple are brand new ones by me; the rest are OGL from various third party publishers. Also, more equipment, including clothing, jewelry, make-up and perfume, all originals by me.

    D20/OGL games geared to low magic, what's out there?

    Conan is OGL and low magic, in the sense that there is powerful magic, but every spell and style of sorcery it springs from have prerequisites you must meet in order to learn them. This prevents low level casters from using mighty magics. Spell acquisition is slow; most mid-level sorcerers may...

    d20 but non-DnD combat sources?

    The Conan RPG is OGL and has armor as damage reduction, every weapon with an armor piercing value, and damage can be avoided with dodge and parry rolls. Weapons significantly do more damage as well.

    Oh, cool! My first feedback! It's good to know you liked it, as I wanted to get some feedback before playtesting it in tomorrow's game. Any specific praise or nitpicks of this class would be appreciated. Before anybody says anything about a five level core class, LOL, well, you try making a 20...

    You're welcome! I've added a bunch more stuff on the Mongoose boards, including the Femme Fatale class (a staple of Conan in particular and pulp fiction in general). Also came up with a quickie height table for all races.
