If it's not, I'll be sticking with D20 Conan.The knee-jerk reactions of folks over on the Mongoose forums who cry "Boycott Mongoose" or "All the books I have bought for D20 Conan are wasted" (based on the rumor and pure speculation of what the future holds for the D20 Conan line and any possible version of Runequest Conan) are a bit ridiculous.While I understand the sentiment of feeling slighted if D20 Conan is dropped in favor of a new system, or altered in someway (duel-statted for both systems) I think Mongoose is probably smart enough (based on past actions) not to alienate the current fan base, and everyone should just take a few deep breaths and wait and see what the company says before freaking out.Then again, this is the interweb, and we are talking about the RPG community....so I should probably expect a bit of high-emotion, generalization, and a rapid jump to conclusion without all of the facts in hand.</blockquote>
