[QUOTE="Jim Hague, post: 3260744, member: 17550"] No, actually, they're [i]all[/i] humans, Emirkol. 'Race' in this case refers to a regional thing, not some actual physical difference like elves and dwarves vs. humans. I'll be sure to tell the 'ignorant', who actually put scholarly study into REH's work, that they're wrong. Good grief, man. I guess that you consider your opinion, including kicking the reputation of a deeply troubled man who did, indeed, end his life tragically, pretty cool...there are those who vehemently disagree. While you can find some gems amidst the pastiche writing that came later, offhandedly insulting someone really isn't the way to sell them. The Conan RPG's one flaw is that it doesn't model the quick and dirty flow that characterized the Conan stories. The Mongoose stuff (editing errors like spellb.ook notwithstanding) is really top notch, and does a good job of incorprating as much of the good pastiche material as it can into the actual canon and making it coherent. [i]Road of Kings[/i] is an excellent book, and a worthy companion to the RPG. Another recent release - and gosh-darned [i]pretty[/i] to boot - is [i]Conan: the ultimate Guide to the World's Most Savage Barbarian[/i]: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Conan-Ultimate-Worlds-Savage-Barbarian/dp/0756620953[/url] [/QUOTE]
