Sure, I would be happy to post their stats up here. I just have to calculate their leveling from this last session. Tuthamon revealed true magic for the first time in the latest session in plain view and now the entire party is plotting to murder him... they are terrified of him though, because...

Yeah the world and the environment the players will be in matter a lot for the characters to shine. In a world that is wilderness heavy with single-city kingdoms nobles aren't worth much regardless of what their stats say anyway. In a world where nobles shake the foundations and move thrones...

Thanks Bjorn. :) I have to say, I have gotten really wrapped up in a lot of the NPC characters with this game. I tend to do that in most of my tabletop games, but with Conan I have an almost endless list of characters I want to make. Fortunately as the GM I get a chance to make them all. I have...

Well, I think a lot of the weaknesses/strengths of all of the classes are entirely dependant on the GM running the adventure. One of my main concerns in this campaign is making sure that every character gets a chance to make the best of whatever class they play. Playing a combat monster of a...

I give my Noble character a lot of leeway with money in general. Wealth is one of the class abilities and I think taking that away with too great of frequency would be unfair to the class. I started my Noble in his noble house, in a screwed up situation to be sure, but with fine armor and...

Thanks guys! When I get a chance I will post some more about what happened last session, because it was completely crazy. We played for 11+ hrs straight and so much random stuff happened. The Kothic Noble ended up making a huge social mistake with the Zuagir girls binding his wounds after he...

On the issue of Defensive blast mentioned above, which has of course been discussed to death on the forum I figured I would list my own house rule. More so than any other of the classes I think the Scholar requires an individual touch. I ruled that every sorcerer has their own unique defensive...

This weeks session I'll sort of tell from the point of view of the NPC sorcerer Tuthamon. I'll begin with his history (my players DO NOT READ) and give a basic rundown of the last session. This is a very incomplete view of what happened to the players, as Tuthamon cares little for them. I will...

I tend to prepare a very small amount of my adventures in advance, tending to wingmeister my way through. I have a basic framework in mind, and a ton of political plots floating around, but most everything else is made up on the spot. In this case, I had a small index card with stats for guard...

I finally got a chance to start my Conan session tonight, and it went amazingly well. I have 4 players in this campaign, and none of us had played Conan before, but were all looking forward to it. The players are: Rolf - Nordenheimer Barbarian Gilgamesh - Shemite Nomad Angaal - Zingaran Thief...

I just wanted to thank whoever posted the original post about the "hacks" and using poker chips. The difference it made in my game was night and day. I ran my first Conan game tonight, using the "hack" system and tossing small colored stones at players which they could turn in for exp at the end...

I'm psyched about this game. I am a huge fan of both MMOs and traditional tabletop games, and most of my tabletop players are into both also. What I have seen of this game so far looks sweet, and I'm just torn between playing a demon summoning spellcaster or a greataxe wielding barbarian...

By the way Vincent, those books are awesome. My campaign just started tonight, and those books provided SO much help to my brand new Conan players. I personally think the Hyboria's Fallen book is one of the best splatbooks for any system, but the player playing a Noble really liked the Finest book.

My favorite is the Summoning style because it reminds me very much of the Elrich books with Elrich calling out to his demonic patron Arioch and summoning elementals and demon spirits in time of great danger. He would exhaust all of his other resources, but when he absolutely needed to get...

Excellent Aholibamah! I'll definitely work Markos into their foray into Shadizar. :)
