This is a tuff issue with any game (company): If the time between releases is too soon, customers don't think they are getting their money's worth. If the time between releases is too long, customers don't think the company is listening to feedback and won't improve the game. I'm happy with...

Could you be tempted to post just one Manoeuvre - - just to wet our whistles? :wink:

Would you be able to elaborate? -Will PCs have a full-list* of manoeuvres they choose from (based on level of success), or do they have a limited amount of manoeuvres (perhaps perchased using experience)? * During play-test, did an extensive list of manoeuvres cause delays in combat while...

And don't forget, the OpenQuest .PDF is still FREE to download from Newt's site. http://d101games.co.uk/books/openquest/

Can someone let me know how this product compares to other 'empire building' products? For example, the old D&D campaign setting: "Birthright" had some great rules for running a kingdom (including mass warfare, random kingdom events, etc). What about the new rules for running a Noble House in...

That is a very beautiful map. How did you create it? (E.g. with a mapping program, hand-drawn, etc).

When we were stupid (read through the rules too quickly), we never used the AP/HP of the weapons for parry... When the defender parried, he also rolled the damage for his weapon (incl. str) and used this as a "variable AP". The amount rolled was 'deflected' and the rest went through to the...

So, if I understand this suggestion RosenMcStern, it would be similar to what I thought in "c" (see opening post), but with no opposed roll (it automatically happens if the defender has reactions remaining?) But without an opposed roll, the defender is automatically successful at 'blocking'...

Just 2 quick questions about parry: #1) Is it true that initially (ignoring background), your chance (%) to parry with a Kite Shield is the same as (%) chance to parry with a dagger? #2) Example: attacker successfuly hits for 18 damage. Defender successfully parries with Kite Shield...

Newtus, Can you give us some details on how the SimpleQuest game went at Furnace? :D

I think this is a fantastic PDF Pete, keep-up the good work. Question: On the Streamlined Combat table, Defender Wins columns for Major and Critical Victories: They state: "...the attacker selects...special effects." Did you mean Defender? (Since he won the contest).

I am very intrigued by this simplified system. A few quick questions on combat: You have stated in the web-preview pdf: “Combat actions =1 action + 1 one reaction (parry or dodge)” What if multiple opponents are attacking you? After you dodge or parry the first attack, does the defender have...

I think you have answered your own question here: if Conan is based on d20 rules....AND those d20 rules change....chances are Conan will also change to fit the new rules. This is especially true if the new 4e rules address problematic areas of the game. Why do you assume that a rule system...

I feel your pain. With (regular) d20 settings, you can usually fill in those high levels by traveling to other Planes, defeating spider demi-gods, gain artifacts, etc. But these kinds of 'fantastical' adventures don't really fit in the Conan world. To keep the hyborian flavour, I would...

This link seems dead? Are you still working on reviving the old Conan game?
