Hi all. When I need a "rules-lite" system, I currently use Cortex. Is Savage Worlds much better? For Conan, I'm happy with the depth of the current rules. I almost bought SW this morning, but could not recognise the core rule book. It looks too small! Cheers, Brisco.

Meaning, I'll try anything but 4th edition. Regardless of the rule system, I like what Mongoose puts out. Best of luck to Mongoose. I hope all the artists and writers get paid for the time invested, and Mongoose doesn't suffer financially as a result. Paying for something you can't sell is...

I would have bought all the books, and ultimately choose the game system with the prettiest women. It looked like a great idea. Independent source books and three rule systems. Everybody would have won. Imagine if Conan ends up with Hasbro (4th edition D&D). Cheers, Brisco.

I can't seem to be able to view the gallery of Avatars at all. Why would that be? I don't need an Avatar to enjoy this forum, but this has intrigued me. Cheers, Brisco.

Based on past experience, I'm not concerned about a delay. It should take as long as it needs to be the best product the budget will allow. This may not apply to gaming, but keeping future projects under wraps is normal where I work. In TV, "managent" doesn't even tell "production" (me)...

When in doubt, trust Vincent. Personally, I avoid the soft "c". I like to imagine the Cimmerians as the Cymrics, even though they are based on a different people. The internet says: "The Cimmerians or Kimmerians (Greek: Κιμμέριοι, Kimmerioi) were ancient equestrian nomads who, according to...

A source book for a campaign set in the era of Kull? Interesting. Cheers, Brisco.

Taverns of Hyboria. The ultimate companion volume to sit between "Cities of..." "Ruins of..." and "Catacombs of..." Every hero needs to take a break sometimes. Cheers, Brisco. (no, I'm not serious, but it's still viable).

"Serenity" is already out there, but what about a rules conversion for Traveller? I just bought the (Mongoose Traveller) Traders & Gunboats book to use with Serenity and plan to get more. I'd rather dumb down Traveller than clutter a short, simple campaign (Firefly/Serenity) with too many rules...

I have just started using the Cortex system for the Serenity game. It takes me back to the simplicity of yore, but it wouldn't suit Conan. Characters are based on their personality traits (like merits & flaws) rather than their class abilities. I think it would suit other games, such as Star...

It's a shame when good writing is overshadowed by good artwork, but... wow! I'm gonna guess the lovely Priestess doesn't do much running in that outfit. And you can rule the trampoline duel right out. Cheers, Brisco.

I have all but Stygia, and I'll be looking for that at a game convention this weekend (in Canberra, the only capital city of the world that closes at 6pm). My players are very excited about the Thunder River book. Half of them want to play Picts. The other half want to recreate the Reaver...

Hi all. Here is some advice from the Facebook group "Everything we Needed to Know in Life we Learned from Conan!" It's all based on the first movie. Text reproduced below. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2211493350&ref=nf Here is another link for the literary Conan...

It’s clearly an all-action comic book team up. "The Erotic Adventures of Conan and Sheena". Cheers, Brisco.

I am currently allowing Borders to substitute Combat Style for Animal Ally to allow for the Marc Singer type of “Beastmaster” character. This was in addition to allowing Wild Empathy as a general feat anybody could use. The Handle Animal skill already works well to create a Beastmaster...
