In 03, they released the 1st ed. and it had lots of errors, it was unclear about the new rules and lacked some of the important rules from D&D. At the time, this was not a big issue as the game is playable for anyone experienced with D&D (is best to have the PHB & DMG at the gametable). Then in 04 or 05 they released the a revised 1st ed. called the Atlantean edition. This book cleared up the problems of the older book and expanded & clarified on the new rules (a good example was how you need room to dodge and how you needed a weapon or shield to parry or at least an improvised weapon or you would be strongly penalized). This game updated the rules to 3.5 and made it so you dont need the PHB at the table, but you still need the DMG for the other rules (condition summery, terrain rules and so forth). Otherwise, Conan AE is still a dame good book.Ivocaliban was right about the early copies, but Mongoose had a mini-recall, so you should have no fear about getting a bad copy. The only ones who got the bad copies are folks who per-ordered them in August or got them at a Gaming Convention last September (the one that announced the coming of 4th ed D&D).The new 2nd ed. has made made lots of improvements to 1st/AE ed. Some of the biggest changes was to include more SRD (namely condition summery & terrain rules) so the game is now self sufficient, and the Tenptress class (originally from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Conan-Hyborias-Pirates-Thieves-Temptresses/dp/1905176252" target="_blank">Hyboria's Fallen</a> book - look in side the book for the original rules) was altered and placed in the rulebook. To learn more about the changes, check <a href="http://hyboria.xoth.net/rules/changes_in_conan_second_edition.htm" target="_blank">this</a> out.If you have never seen this game before, go <a href="http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/rpg/detail.php?qsID=1449&qsSeries=7" target="_blank">hear</a> to find a preview, a world map, & PC sheet. And click <a href="http://www.yandros.com/RPG/Conan/ConanRPGvsDnD.htm" target="_blank">hear</a> to see how Conan is different from D&D.One of of the most influential people who have worked on the game is a guy named <a href="http://www.swordandsorcery.org/int-darlage.htm" target="_blank">Vincent Darlage</a>. Well before the Conan game came out, he made a really good <a href="http://www.enworld.org/Inzeladun/conan.htm" target="_blank">Conan d20</a> site. He sighed up as a playtester for the Conan game and he was so knowledgeable, they asked him to write the Road of Kings book. This proved to be one of finest source books they ever made. So good was it, they asked him to write more <a href="http://index.rpg.net/display-search.phtml?key=contributor&value=Vincent+Darlage" target="_blank">books</a>. He holds much weight in the Conan community.</blockquote>
