WAY too much magic in player hands to feel S&S-ish. I have run WFRP 1E, 2E playtests, and 3E, and those can be run as S&S... and I've done so more than once with 1E... I have run the old TSR Conan RPG. Surprisingly good variant on FASERIP style mechanics. Sold my decent copy, tho', to pay some bills. I want to run, at some point, Barbarians of Lemuria. I want also to try Dragon Warriors at some point; it's dark enough in tone to maybe work for S&S.I've also done S&S type stuff with Tunnels and Trolls - but the tone was very slapstick, so I wouldn't count it. THe engine can easily do it, tho'.I've read but not run the Mongoose Conan - it doesn't look like it would evoke the feel of Conan or Kull, but it sure has pretty maps. I d/l'd it when they had it up for free download.I played in a GURPS Horseclans game once. Like the setting (and the novels), but GURPS didn't feel right at all. I've run RQ3 as a S&S type setting, too - the magic can mostly be low visibility. If I were asked to do a Sword&Sorcery type game, I'd probably use either BOL or WFRP 1. Or, perhaps, Cortex Plus... based upon the hacker's guide. Or maybe d6 fantasy.</blockquote>
