[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 2017695, member: 363"] I'll be honest; I ground my teeth in frustration when I heard that Mongoose got the rights to both Conan [i]and[/i] B5. Both were favorites of mine, Conan especially, from back when I was a kid, reading both the mighty Howard's purple prose and Marvel's comics. Mongoose...well, let's just say that the Slayer's Guides and "Quintessential" series had left me underwhelmed. Then, I heard you hired Vincent Darlage. Holy crap, for once a company actually paid attention and didn't assume they could do better than someone who did a helluva job on their own, out of love for the subject. I'd been a BIG fan of Vincent's Conan d20 site since I first found it. Knowing a guy like that, who was both a fan of the game [i]and[/i] the subject about to be rendered into game terms, was going to be working on the project made me want to give Mongoose the benefit of the doubt. I'd already been slowly getting won over by products like Slaine, and this was news that had me hopeful for the definitive treatment of Conan in RPG terms. Still, I held off buying Conan when it appeared. In decades past, a Conan RPG release was an instant buy for me (and it was, actually; I still own TSR's Conan RPG). I have to admit that the issues about editing and the like still made me hesitate...but I also admit to being disappointed and embarassed for Mongoose when the reviews revealed massive problems. I'd really wanted Mongoose to succeed. Anyway, I've still held off buying Conan. I'm waiting for the Atlantean edition to show up round these parts. But, I [i]did[/i] buy Road of Kings and Scrolls of Skelos, and found them to be fantastic, definitive works. I have to budget out some dough for the other Conan books, but I'm gonna get 'em...and oh yeah, I did get the pocket edition of B5, which I like a whole bunch. I just may pick up other books in the line. [/QUOTE]
