Question about Conan OGL (1e) supplements

[Aus_Snow]

I was just wondering if anyone here might know which supplements for Mongoose's Conan RPG are in full colour throughout.

I must admit, it's a selling point for me these days, especially given how nice the main Conan book (Atlantean ed.) looks. Many of the illustrations therein are really evocative, and more so than they would be if in B&W, IMO.

So, are there any? Also, do they happen to be any good. That helps.

The mongoose forum would be better for this post, however, I can tell you that at least the Stygia (don't buy it) and the Road of Kings (buy it) are in color. Shadizar is not color and the map (laugh..laugh) was plagarized from a WotC site map..and with Mongoose's excellent editing and proofreading skills (laugh..laugh) it was missed. It's probably a collectors item because of that (not the editing problems..but the plagarized map). The DM screen has the full color map (with two sets of Karpash mountains and a Zamboula that's practically at the north pole). The scenarios are not in color but the NPC stat block books are. I play in Hyboria perpeutually..but don't plan to purchase anymore Mongoose-written stuff unless there is a significant change in the amount of attention put into those products...

BTW, 2nd edition ruleset of Conan d20 is out. They have announced that there are no plans to put out 4th edition stuff. I presume that means they won't continue the license.

Hyboria's F... series is B&W, I think Tito's trading post is B&W. The regional sourcebooks, Ruins of Hyboria, Faith and Fervor, Scrolls of Skellos and Pirate Isles are in color.

The 2nd edition main rulebook is, to my understanding NOT in color.

To back up Emirikol, Maps and editing are a perennial problem with Mongoose. Just as bad as the Shadizar map fiasco, the keys on the map for Messantia does not line up with texts. Shem, and Argos/Zingara did not have detailed regional maps.

When 2nd edition came out, it was rife with errors (see the mongoose forums -- oh, never mind, they deleted that thread) which they claim to have fixed.
