Conan the Roleplaying Game

[Sir Elton]

I finally recieved my copy last friday. It's a good game, although I haven't fully looked through all of it. Though the art is nice, even though some of it panders to the prude American male teenager.

Did you get the "Atlantean" edition, with the full errata corrected?

Assuming that the picture included in the post is a copy of the edition that he got, it's the 2nd edition.

Good luck. I didn't like it. Maybe they've cleaned up all the erros in the Atlantean Edition, but I doubt they made a good game out of it.

I really like the game myself... and while I like the world of Conan I have been debating about trying to run other "dark" fantasy type games with it... so I have slowly been putting together a Warhammer Fantasy rules to use with it. Mostly re-working the Races (some different types of Humans, Wood Elves, Dwarves and Halflings), re-naming some of the weapons, and feats to better fit a non-Conan world etc. Stating out some monsters (Skaven and Orcs are like me to fav monsters of all time). I am still debating magic, not sure what I am going to do with this, so right now I am putting it off to the last thing

They made a good game of it the first time around; the Atlantean Edition was just to clean up the typos.

Well- I have the first edition of the game and didnt find the errors egregious.

And on the subject of the game being "good", in my opinion its one of the best games of the year.

Right now, between Conan, Babylon 5 and their OGL series, Mongoose would get my vote for company of the year.

As a matter of fact I voted that way for the Ennies.

If I had not Grim Tales I would probably buy Conan; i believe it to be good. However, for the few things I saw about Babylon 5, it looks to me a failure, especially where character classes are concerned. So, could you tell me a little about Babylon 5, and especially about the classes? Thanks.

I really like the Conan setting, always have. But I don't like the classes in this new book. They seem a little dry and unflavored. Pretty basic. Conan always seemed to have more "depth" and "dark fantasy". The new book seems to be feel more "gritty historical" with fantasy elements. Although I think the naked ladies is nothing more than an attempt at following the true spirit of conan (the king of womanizing!).

What classes would you have used?

They seem to fit the Conan setting, IMO.
