out of curiosity... How do the Picts change? The first mentions of them just call them barbaric. No cultural details I have read yet. What are they described as before that changes later when they are given a more native american feel? Just curious... thanks all for helping answer these...

Could you clarify that? Needed it to be different for those stories? What does that mean? If I need Darth Vader to be more fatherly in Episode 3, then I wouldn't change his name, perhaps add some complexity but not change it entirely. So what do you mean exactly?

Hour of the Dragon is in the 2nd anthology (and thus haven't read it yet). Hmmm. So Howard changed his mind?

I just picked up the Coming of Conan anthology. I love RE Howard's work, it just keeps surprising me and enveloping me in it's raw sword and sorcery goodness. I haven't read much de Camp or any others, though I have read a few Conan comics when I was a youngling. Even so, I don't remember...

The skeletons listed in the Bestiary of the main LW RPG book say they are created with necromancy... this implies that someone knows that forbidden knowledge. Perhaps it will be in a furture supplement (though I would have thought it would be in the Darklands book, alas, it is not). It should...

I got Road of Kings a couple of days ago. I must say it is quite well written with lots of details (especially as they relate to the different works of Conan authors). I do have the sneaking suspicion though that the map(s) of Zingara and Argos (maybe the Pictish wilderness and even...

That was from a thread in this forum (Where is Old Bear and Mongoose Paul?) posted LAST Thursday, the 19th of February. Just wondering... did the FAQ/Errata and Mass Combat rules get lost on the way to the website?

We were told there would be Errata and some Mass Combat rules posted for Conan this week... where are they?? Its already Thursday.

I sincerely hope no one interpreted my question/statement as an indictment of the beautiful color map on the inside covers of The Conan RPG. I love the map. It looks nice and gives a good overview of the setting. :oops: My real point is that the gazetteer and the map don't jive in spots and...

I know its championed as a setting strength, and certainly the underdevelopedness of certain areas is in keeping with the RE Howard vision to a certain extent, but I am curious. Is Road of Kings going to give us a more detailed map of the Hyborian Age? Heck, I'd be satisfied if just...

It may not realistic, but neither are some of the feats of strength that Conan was capable eventually. Conan is an epic, myth making, gritty, sword and sorcery game. If you choose to spend 3 of your feats Fleet Footed and then become a Borderer, obviously, moving quickly is part of your idea...

UM, I like that in Conan the money isn't gp it's sp. Its more realistic. The bribe for the gate guard says gp. Should that be sp instead?

I think the idea of this thread is to compile ALL errors. However, it would be nice if someone seperated all the grammar and spelling errors from the rules and setting errors. I personally dont give two wits about grammatical errors if there are more important questions needing to be answered...

Alot of errors are present in this book, no doubt about that. But some of them are clearly not rules-related. When the Official Errata is released, could someone separate the grammatical errors from the rules errors please? Having to wade through p. xx period should replace comma p. xz...
