HYBORIAN AGE EXPLETIVES! Inspired by the Slaine thread that describes insults, I thought it would be beneficial to Conan GMs to have a similar thread that lists oaths, curses, greetings, and other sayings appropriate for the Hyborian Age. I mean, everybody knows Conan's famous (or infamous)...

I'm well into the second Thieves World anthology. If you haven't read them, they are excellent reads. It's a shared world with different authors borrowing characters from each other, telling amazing tales. Like the Hyborian Age, it's a low magic world, with spurts of high sorcery. It's an...

Look at page 94 of Tito's Trading Post. There, it shows sample Argossean Merchants. Note what it says in that first paragraph: Checking, I see that Commoner is not a favored class of ANY race in the game. What do you think that line above is referencing?

The problem I have with the Climb skill--the way it is written--is that a number of checks are required to climb any distance. You can climb at a default rate of one-fourth of your normal Speed. For an un-encumbered fellow,that's one climb check per 7.5 feet. Let's say that you are a 1st level...

Would you penalize a character if fighting with a loaded backpack, even if the character is not considered encumbered by weight? You've got a strong character. He's got everything he owns and them some attached to his back. Bow, quiver full of arrows, bow quiver attached to the outside of the...

The Warrior's Companion brings us an alternative for thieves and their Sneak Attack ability. See page 31. That new rule allows Thieves to trade in their Sneak Attack ability for the Dispatching Blow ability. What is the Dispatching Blow ability? It allows thieves to add 1d6 to damage (and an...

I haven't followed the birth of D&D 5. I've heard things here and there, sure. But, I've been uninterested in it. I play the Conan RPG, and I don't plan on switching. Today, though, I saw a posting that said that WotC had released a 110 page set of D&D Fifth Edition Basic Core Rules that...

I'm curious about the Shaipur Monks from the 2011 Conan film.  We learn little about them in the film.  And, I read the novelization.  There's not much more there.   So, let's speculate a bit, given what we know.   And, what do we know?   1.  They don't seem to be a religious order.  No gods are...

I'm looking for a 2nd edition Conan Character Sheet--one of those jobs that's done on a pdf where you can fill it out using your mouse and keyboard, saving an electronic copy. I have one for 1st edition Conan, but we play 2nd edition. Does anyone have a sheet like this for 2nd edition?

I have nothing to do with this auction. I was just browsing and saw it. If I didn't already have one, I'd jump on it. It's a decent price. I thought I'd spread the word, here, in case anybody needs one. Conan Atlantean Edition on eBay

I saw somewhere, reading up on Hyborians and Thieves, that the Hyborian perk where the Great Sword is considered a Martial weapon instead of an Exotic one. There was some option about thieves changing that to something else. For the life of me, I can't find it. I figured that it had to be...

Skill points given at additional levels refer to the Character's overall level? Or the level the character has in that class? For example, a 3rd level Thief cross classes into a 1st level Soldier, making a 4th level character. How many skill points does this character get? Same as a 1st...
