Conan: Going to 2nd Printing

[Emirikol]

The Conan Game is going to 2nd printing. Good. Now I can get one for my players (error-free) and one for me

Already? Darn, the thing must be selling well! (Or Mongoose played it smart and only published a small first run.)

I'm guessing it's a number of factors:

It's CONAN ~ huge following, even among non-gamers
It's a big damn book
It's a must-have for a game library
Everyone's been waiting for it to be done right for once (although GURPS was close)
It's D&D compatable system (mostly)...LOTR would have been wise to follow this lead
The price: $32 bucks on Amazon

Any idea when this happens? I haven't quite picked it up yet, and now I'm thinking I'd rather hold off until the second printing.

 

[Ranger REG]

That's funny. I didn't see one copy of Conan arrived at my FLGS.

Only 1 copy in the DFW area's largest game store chain (11 stores, I think).

(They had twice as many Dawnforges!) </sarcastic enthusiasm>

Mongoose Matt said it was "at least three months off", which means it could be considerably longer, who knows? I assume they need to sell out of the first printing before they put the revision into production. As someone who bought two copies of the book (one full price [$50] from my FLGS, one for $30 from Amazon), I'm a little peeved. However, I don't regret the purchase. I've been running Conan for a month now, and despite a few small rules glitches, there's been nothing to tear our hair out over. We've been having great fun with the rules and setting (in preparation for which I read 15+ Conan novels since January). I wanted to run a low magic d20/OGL game immediately, and Conan saved me the work of cobbling together my own. So, it was a good buy, despite the editing/proofreading problems.

I find myself in a quandary. I'd like to get hold of the Conan game, but I'd rather wait for a 2nd edition with various glitches tidied up because I prefer to have a version I've not scribbled over

I guess it is a case of keeping eyes open for announcements about it really. I'm not in the position to start a new Conan based campaign for plenty of time, so I can wait... just about!

Yeah, i don't have a Conan game happening anytime soon, either. Besides, for 30 to 50 dollars i want as perfect a product i can get, so I'm waiting anyway.

Just checked both my FLGSs and no sign of Conan, so maybe I'll just have to wait for the next printing anyway!
