Take what I say with a grain of salt but I really liked it. Its not linked like Tales From Wilderland, but I found the quality to be close (which is pretty high) and more consistent. I would happily run all of the adventures it contains, and considered none to be a complete dud (unlike TfW's...

Sounds like a plan. To that end, given that you have stated your own preference unequivocally and presumably have no further interest in this RPG, would it be a good idea to take a step back and allow those who enjoy the system to discuss the RPG on the thread that announces the RPG's release?

That's not accurate. The Force and the Dark Side are concepts within the setting and the mechanics model those. You could argue the same for Doom (it models a sense of Doom that Conan once referred to) but I think the concept is clearly less embedded in the setting and, given how it operates, is...

That's pretty much it, multiplied by the internet :)

Cool. If you have zero tolerance for any form of bennies, then Conan 2d20 isn't for you. These kinds of resources are more common than not these days (starting with WFRP1e in the mid-80s) and even appear in the last two editions of D&D. Its cool if its not for you, but I don't think its...

Its controversial as it does breach a line that many people hold dear. Requiring the GM to have a resource to do something that they would normally be allowed to do is seen as unnecessarily limiting, especially given the GM's already difficult task. So, I totally get why something that smells...

I think that's an exaggeration. I strongly dislike Fate primarily for the Fate point mechanic, but the Doom Pool is a far cry from such a mechanic. In Conan 2d20, there is a much more robust traditional system sitting alongside Doom, than there is in Fate with Fate points. Doom is pretty much...

There is a full quickstart for Conan 2d20 available here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/174829/Robert-E-Howards-CONAN-Roleplaying-Game-Quickstart If you have played FFG's Star Wars, the destiny pool is the closest parallel I have seen. Effectively, the GM starts with a number of Doom...

Though I have sympathy for the anti-metagame mechanics arguments, I think its important to keep perspective. In a spectrum from Runequest to Marvel Heroic, Conan 2d20 is somewhere in the middle. Effectively, it takes the concept of "bennies" which are contained in many RPGs, including Conan...

If people are interested, there is a detailed quickstart available for Conan here. I started with a negative view of the system but it has won me over. Its effectively similar to D&D5e in terms of complexity. The Momentum and Doom Pool mechanics can be jarring for some who don't like meta-game...

They will. You just benefit from approximately 50% off the retail price through the bundles, and can even try the rulebook before you buy any bundle by way of a price reduction.

4 out of 5 rating for Adventures in Middle-earth Player's Guide Though this product is a much better take on using D&D for Middle-Earth roleplaying than I ever expected to see, it does have some balance issues in a few abilities that mar the final result. The additions of rules for journeys...

Not yet. They are coming in the Adventurer's Companion that should be up for pre-order next week. Same applies for the Men of Bree.

You should purchase it from Book Depository and get free shipping. I got mine for NZ$67.

Adventure Time would be the best and would actually suit AGE with a little work. I am guessing Conan using AGE. Conan is back on the market following the lacklustre movie performance and there is currently no RPG home. Its a cornerstone of the fantasy genre and would be a big licence for GR...

Thanks. I must have missed that :)

If you buy the DTRPG Subscription for ZeitGeist, do you also get all the extras like Themes etc or just the Adventures?

This is a tricky situation. I personally like Essentials but, though they are mechanically compatible with D&D4e, I have found the new presentation to be conceptually confusing for people when lumped together. So, I now run either all Essentials game PCs or all classic 4e PCs, but don't have...

Its up!

Yes please. I would buy a compiles WotBS for 4e.
