The Amazons were real, not a myth. Heroditus talks about them, and there is physical evidence discovered at the site of Themiscyra. But mostly, the women in the army were camp followers. They were poking around the army to take care of various tasks: cooking, cleaning, helping the men...

Somebody needs to play Rolemaster. :wink:

I learned that the combat maneuvers are open content, so I'm adding them to a splat book I made up. Including one or two of my own design: i.e. Confusing Cloak and the ever popular Indecent Exposing Cuts. :) I'm also adding the Kata from Way of the Samurai into the same splat book as combat...

Hmm. I've forgotten that in original fantasy, one associates the trident with undersea cultures. I guess watching Sparticus, where one of the gladiators was using a trident, made me forget. :D

I have the original Conan game. Don't know when or how I'm going to turn it in for the Atlantean edition. :D

Thanks. The rules about psionics are simple to understand. First of all, a psion can not manifest above his or her own manifester level. Second of all, certain feats require psionic focus to work. Lastly, make sure your psion player is keeping track of his or her power points. Psions are...

Funny you should say that. I'm writing my own Atlantis game. Well, I'm writing up a campaign primer at any rate. I'll be using the Conan RPG rules as the base. Since it's a psionic setting, I'm using D&D psionics as well, from the Expanded Psionics Handbook. :D The campaign has the look of...

Somebody could have made LotR work in the d20 System to everyone's expectations. :( And the way Decipher acted, the Conan License would have been worsely treated.

"thews?" Am I prounciating it wrong? I always thought it was "THOZE." I don't mind it, but you do make a point. Maybe Mongoose should have won the Lord of the Rings RPG License and DeCipher should have won the Conan RPG license. OF course, no one can tell. With CPI in Scandinavia, it's all...

No, that's not the one. The obsession with the Poppy Plant is not in my Conan RPG, but the example of a Scholar that's obsessed with a King. Down right cannibalism in that one. :twisted: On a better note, the whole RPG is very good. I'm so stoked that I think I will run a campaign.

After reading the RPG, I get the feeling that Scholars can make excellent evil bad dudes for PCs to scuffle. Especially with the Rule of Obsession. What if a Sorcerer suffered from an addiction to Opium? How would he regain his power and break the addiction cycle? Are there psychologists...

If there is any spelling errors, I didn't see them closely. Any words that are distinctly not American were in fact spelled correctly according to the Queen's English. However, Whirlwind Attack was definitely missing. :(

Okay, I've got the Conan RPG and the Coming of Conan Short Story Collection by Robert E. Howard. Along with At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs. They came quicker than I thought they would. I'll have to tell Amazon.com to keep up the good work. :D It's the Edition with all the errors.

the Feng Shui RPG had an interesting character development system for Action Movie roleplaying. VERY easy to learn and use.

The Soulknife class from the Expanded Psionics and the Wilder from the same shouldn't be too bad. The Soulknife Core Class is essientally a class were a PC can make a sword purely out of thought (no other psionic powers). A pc with the Soulknife class can fit in Conan. Many of the Prestige...
