    Conan Plans Unveiled - Deepest Apologies

    It was nice to see the license holders post and it did shed some light. It’s a difficult situation for Mongoose do they try and produce some more D20 material to prove how brilliant they can do it or does it kind of put Conan on hold for 14-18 months. With the film coming out it’s going to...

    Conan Plans Unveiled - Deepest Apologies

    It does make your wonder if the license holder has some ulterior motive. I know the economy isn't great at the moment, but I think Mongoose has a proven track record and the sales pitch is brilliant. "We want to support Conan on the 3 really popular systems, which should keep existing...

    Conan Plans Unveiled - Deepest Apologies

    I think it's a terrible decision. The update to RQ and the ever growing Savage Worlds is a great move. It would give Conan a fresh look and attract a whole new fan base. Also there is a certain animosity to D20 which would also be removed. I have ran several Conan games and thoroughly enjoyed...

    Earthdawn Magic

    Hi, I was wondering has the magic system changed. For me I loved the setting and it is still one were the characters are true heroes. I loved the unlocking of magic items, powers etc. The only thing for me and my players that let it down was the convoluted magic system. It just didn't work for...

    Strontium Dog v Rogue Trooper

    Hi Guys, I see what you’re saying but I’m not convinced, I suppose it depends how you approach the game. I ran JD for a while and though I and my players enjoyed it, it did suffer because of its tight focus. SD would be the same for me I would more likely run a series of one-off's, I am sure...

    Strontium Dog v Rogue Trooper

    Hi Guys, I noticed that this time next year, we should hopefully have a SD game in our sticky palms. I was surprised I would of thought they would have gone for Rogue Trooper as I fell there is a far more scope for a long term campaign. SD is very much like Dredd a niche game, very focused...

    Hi Matey, Nope it dosen't exist, I think if you trawl the forums there are links to a few handmade ones. You can get away without it. Great Campaign, BigSteveUK

    The Grand OGL Wiki

    Hi, I was just wondering will the OGL Steampunk, Ancients & Wild West be added at a later time? Just Ancients as a free PDF would be mint. Cheers, Steve

    Why I love Conan (Conan vs 4th edition)

    End of the day people will moan about 4e and I am sure it won't cater to all tastes, but it will succeed and as time progress it will become more and more established. I must admit the licensing rules seem a bit twee!! I had my doubts and I still haven't played it, but a few of my friends have a...

    Why I love Conan (Conan vs 4th edition)

    I would be surprised if someone at Mongoose isn't looking in to moving Conan to 4e or Runequest. Even if it is just purely for research and testing purposes. I have to admit that thought I don't like the thoughts of changing system, but I do think Conan would work very well under the RQ system...

    Farewell Gary Gygax

    Sad, Sad new. D&D bought me my best and closest friends and I would like to thank him for all the laughs, entertainment and camaraderie his products helped produce. Personally I found this a very suitable tribute. http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ultimate_game.png
