Way to go, Mongoose! Way to go! Maybe that would interest me in Traveller in general.

You bet. But don't worry, there are specialists who help people with mental problems

Interesting. Have you got any more props? Maybe you could send an article to Mongoose, so that we could get some Conan in one of te coming issues.

By the way, don't you think that Listen bonuses are too small? I'm rather sure I would hear the smallest gong from across my flat.

And I'm still not very convinced whe'd do but, heck, I'll watch the movie nontheless.

Ment to get back to you on this one Phobos and hope this not a stupid question, 'do you have Conan; Pirate Isles , it has the stats for ships for Conan ship to ship fighting, if you are looking for something else, Stormbringer D20 Game will have Ship stats, not know what book This one I believe htt...

You might also check Privateers and Gentlemen: Heart of Oak Naval Miniatures Rules for the Age of Fighting Sail for some details on sailing techniques. Maybe Warring Fleets : Fantasy Naval Combat could get you interested, too. Know, however, that the two titles mentioned above are mainly tactical ga...

You can also fina a section about ships here: http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/Swashbucklers/

Try http://www.enworld.org/Inzeladun/conan.htm for Conan D&D 3e Conan stats.

It's no Mongoose Conan, true but it's start.

I guess nobody bothered to rewrite the stats given already in previous books, which is reasonable.

It wouldn't hurt to release all Conan's stats as freebies, though.

I wish they just changed digitally Momoa himself. He's a male model for chrissake. I'd rather see someone more masculine in this role.

Boy, you're so right. Strange that Mongoose overlooked that aspect in Conan combat mechanics. I've little experience with AD&D, but I remember that GURPS as well addresses the two former issues you've just brought up. However they seem somewhat "crude" in comparison. The solutions you presented here...

Does it? One's professional career has its ups and downs

Now THIS is really nice. Not only for GMs but for PCs as well to use. Much gratitude, Nialldubh.

After you reach the end of prestige class (be it its 5th or 10th level) you just revert to the class you've abandoned to turn "prestigeous". You may have misread me, or I don't understand multi-classing yet. If a 6th level Barbarian has the prerequisites for a Prestige Class and becomes one the nex...

Could you be more specific on this one, Nialldubgh?

So, why do they have 5 or 10 levels then? Lack of ideas for further expanding the prestige class, maybe. If you're 6th level and meet the prerequisites for a Prestige Class, shouldn't that class have 14 levels (to make you a 20th level character?) Nope. Character level is simply a sum of all class ...

You've mentioned sharpening of shield edges, Nialldubh. Just imagine deliverin the coup the grace with it, cleaving the head off like they did on Rome TV-series. I'm dreaming of doing just that with my Conan RPG character. However, I must first get a suitable shield and then find an opportunity of s...

But... the current issue IS a light one, isn't it? Besides, among the declarations a promise was made that materials from the Thief's Companion would be printed in S&P throughout the year.

According to some previous declarations of a Mongoose representative there are tons of ready material tu be put into new issues.

Boy, I'm reading slower than you're writing it all :) I like the direction you're heading, it's both good read and also seems to make sense. However from what I see it's only applicable to continuous campaigns and not to those one-shot-adventure series where the PCs jump around the entire world ceas...
