23! I WIN AT BEING 23!!!

more to her family actually; as an Argossean Dreamer she grew up hearing many tales... including those of witches summoning the oceans themselves to cull terrible might. Her kin, it was said, had blood ties with these ancient practitioners. Proof was given in the color of her eyes... but as a...

his cohort! (starting at 9th level) :arrow: Appearance: The lady Zapara is a raven haired Argossean of exceptional beauty and guile. Her eyes are of the ocean's color; a most unnatural and obviously sorcerous hue... and indeed she is feared as a practitioner of some skill by her crewmates. She...

I'm currently in Baton Rouge right now and have not been back to new orleans yet since Katrina. I haven't seen my house as many have, because my neighborhood is very close to the 17th street canal and the lake... it's been flooding off and on. I think that whole lakeview area is going to be bull...

thank you.

this is flame bait. nazis killed jews in the millions. Actually... even if all your fears about the white man were true... it still would be nothing like it.

The "overclass as the oppressor" lol. if we're talking about class then we're talking about wealth vs poverty; haves vs have nots. rich does not = white necessarily... I count myself (white) and most of my friends (white too) among the working poor. we do not oppress anyone. my own mother was a...

the setting shouldn't be offensive to blacks or women... so long as you know what sort of tale you want to tell. In Conan... women can be powerful... sex can posses men and rule them. By the same token a warrior of the black kingdoms can be the scariest and strongest fighter around. What sort of...

well I'll tell you this; I would only try this system out if I had confidence in my group. We are good roleplayers. The weakest link at our table is often the strongest elswhere around other games. It's an acceptable risk.

I notice people tend to have good charismas in conan... players I mean... but I would hardly call the feat broken or even wonky... it's no more empowering than power attack.

that's what I'm talking about with the spirit of Conan though... the strong get stronger. The weak drown! It's very darwinistic. I want to try it anyway... lol

BUMP! meant to post up the character I made last night, but I've been real busy today. I'll post him up tommorrow

yeah that's a good idea, although when I was trying a system similar to what I proposed during my D&D game I preferred to not tell my players what was being given to whom. I didn't want anyone to think I favored a player for whatever reason. beads or whatever could be good though. I may try...

but the term "fencing" should not. (see page 112 of the main book)

I really haven't experimented very much with magic at all... but yeah it seems like a blast. I don't like D&D magic particularly... and hate it at very high levels in terms of both magic and power gaming in general. the HP stop getting rolled after 10th. You can NOT beat Conan.
