I don't think it's necessary for this thread to degenerate into mindless bickering and name-calling. My apology if i've contributed to that. Storm i respect your views and i see that you've contributed to a great game. Good work! I don't think i've been able to really get my point across but...

This does not offended me What offends me about the things that you're saying is that you ignore, in a condesending way, the fact that someone may perceive different than you do. I've read REH's work. I don't need you to tell me how i should understand his creation! It not so much the gaming...

I just have to comment this post. (I know i'm jumping in a bit late here but i can't help myself...) I agree with the notion that the GM has a responsibility to stay true to the setting. But i belive his loyalty is to his own interpretation of that setting. I think that there is no definite...

I just have to say that i love your campain idea. The black kingdoms are really good for staging this kind of adventures. Good luck on playing it. I also have to mention that i to have used shipwrecks as story hooks from time to time and they are savagely effective.Especially when your players...

Just so i can say i'm done with this thread: 1. I actually like Damien's setting and the fact that he uses the Conan rules for his setting. My first post was confused as to whether he was talking about Hyboria or not. 2. Apology accepted.

I, like most of you it seems, haven't used Conan directly. Just haven't found the right angle that would make it appropriate. I also worry about the effects of introducing him since the central characters in my campain are women... :wink: (played by female gamers)

I'm sorry if you read my post as suggesting that your post didn't belong here. That was not my intention. (i'll admit my post wasn't very well phrased) I complimented you on the originality of your setting. I found it intriguing and i agreed with you that there are good reasons for using the...

I agree with Valaryc. Your setting is interesting even original, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the Conan setting. Using the Conan rules for this type of setting is of course great since IMO it's one of the best modifications to the d20 system around.

I like it too :D It appears to work well and your suggestion seems consistent with both the rules and the setting. I will seriously consider using it myself. :)

Hey, interesting question... Personally i have found that putting a lot of work, or at least thought, into major NPC background and personality helps me a lot in giving them agendas that doesn't revolve around the PC's. I usually also layer the information on major NPCs, keeping the deepest...

Gotta say... great fun!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I haven't seen this before, is this all that's been made of this cartoon or is there more?

Not to despair Daz, i found Stavanger mentioned tvice in Heimskringla. Once in a verse in the Saga of Magnus the Good and once in the Saga of Magnus the Blind and Harold Gille. I got the qoutes from the Norwegian version if you want to try your hand at it:

Yes, i have read most of it and i'm quite familiar with it since my father works as a norwegian teacher. Besides that i've studied norwegian history in college... and Snorri's work is about the only written source about viking age politics in Norway.

He he... funny :lol: I think you might have overpriced the leeches a bit... :D but who cares...

I agree with with you that spell changing magic is prevalent, but i would avoid making shapeshifters spell-users. Instead i would give certain people and berserkers a shapshifting special ability. Just to avoid the feeling of wizardry on an icelandic battlefield. My point was that status(at...
