Nice. Thanks for the support and making this available. :D (I can see how printing this might be a pain though ... luckily I have one of those combo printer copiers which doesn't flip out when text and pics are combined.)

^^^ That was me. Jeez, open another window to quote and suddenly I'm a stranger all of a sudden. :cry:

So far so good. I picked up my copy today -- special order, which makes me wonder about the future support of this setting. To the nay-sayers. As much as I would like to feel differently, I'm just glad that a company has put out a book like this. Gaming has hundreds of knockoff D & D products...

Well, I've always been a worrywort. The preview on the main page is just fine.

Hmm. There are some things in this review that disturb me a little. I hope it's just the writer of that review ... since the details on the main site don't allude to them. Being Bulgarian I take old "Trak" and "Spartak" verrrrry seriously. I hope western influence (read goth) hasn't been...

I much prefer ancient scenarios rather than say, medieval scenarios. I just hope-hope-hope that it's done well ... (No, I'm not stuttering.)

Hmm. Roman historical or Roman based fantasy setting? I would really love an ancient inspired fantasy world, myself. I have Gurps Rome and Gladiator Wars and between the two they help the HUGE VACUUM that exists for such games.

This is actually the most relevant point in the whole thread, unfortunately.

I think it's generally bad to try to make mini versions of cultures based on the large empires. Perhaps downgrade a little and think mound-builders instead of pyramids ... Not like you can't add Aztec or Mayan flavor, but the scale is wrong.

Ehh, looks like a good old fashioned temper tantrum to me.

Not to state the obvious, but there is a small pile of bodies on the cover ... :wink:

Interesting, I've been wondering about the new Cthulhu in general but hadn't investigated it. I don't like the idea of portraying it as pulp, per se ... seems a bit cheap but bringing it into the new age of gaming is VERY welcome.

Wow, wow, wow. I loved all those old Chaosium games. I'm going to have to dig into that a little later. [thumbs_up]

Interesting. I'm not a big fan of Gurps but I'm not exactly huge into game mechanics and there's not really a better way to RP ancients. I'm really glad Conan got picked up by somebody. A lot of licenses for well loved games of the past just sit there ...

I have to agree with the binding comment. I bought mine today and from the handling it received in the store, it seems, well not on its last legs but pretty well loved at the moment. I think this adaptation was done very well. There are so many thrown together RPG's out there and this is not...
