    The minimum damage rule

    "How's that?" How does that clear anything up? :P

    More details on the discounted Atlantean rulebook policy

    Since no one else has answered about whether or not they got their AE, I will. I did the page-clipping thing and I have received my CtRPG:AE for $20 plus shipping. It took about 2-3 weeks from the time I sent my check until the book arrived here in California. I now have CtRPG:AE, and for the...

    1st vs 2nd Printing (i.e., Necessity of the Atlantean Ed?)

    First of all, depending on your definition, you could "get by" with a friend who's seen a Conan movie and two sticks to pretend are swords. For a 6-year old, that might even be fulfilling. So could you get by with the first printing? Undoubtedly For a clear description of the Conan d20 RPG, for...

    Downloads of handouts/props

    As much as I complain and harp on you guys (especially recently regarding the Drazi) I must say I am pleased with how much extra work you do for us. I thank you in advance for the PDFs. Really. (no sarcasm this time) :P

    Large Parties

    Some simple ways to get your party together, that follow the Conan style: 1. They are all slaves or captives of some bad guy, and their first task is to escape. 2. They area all broke and in need of food and/or equipment in the same place at the same time. The patron calls for people to aid...

    GM screens

    Here Here!! This is a fantastic idea. I've been trying to order a similar style screen from Masterscreen (or some similar name, I forget it exactly) and I just can't get one. Apparently they're out of print or something. A four-part portrait-oriented GM screen with variable downloadable...

    Communications and computers

    There is no evidence to support that the personal comps use anything more than a (probably broadband) phone link. I would extend it to using a mobile (cell?) phone connection, but that's as far as I would go. Your Gm will tell you what equipment is available for your campaign, and what their...

    Names

    So true. Drazi not only ones ignored. Brakiri not even given a vague attempt at being treated as equal to "big 4" races. There is a picture of a Brakiri in the background of one of the episode pictures (the mutari episode, iirc), but otherwise they get no picture. Drazi are handsome race, we...

    Names

    Ghost Dancer can use Drazi rules, is OK. Me like Ghost Dancer. You not try to steal Drazi intellectual property. Good human, so much better than other humans out there. Much like Drazi. Next time we choose sashes, you may join us, is great honor. Others will use Drazi rules without asking...

    Names

    No one cares about Drazi. We know this, and we accept this. You say no, Drazi same importance as Humans and Minbari, but that is not true. Minbari get vote, Humans get vote, Drazi have to share vote. Same with Mongoose: Minbari get book, Humans get book, Drazi get no book, have to wait until...

    Scholar troubles... a roleplaying dilemna.

    It's still a balancing feature. While the PC may relish it, virtually all NPCs will not. He'll be virtually unable to interact with NPCs, except to try to scare them into doing what he wants. Make sure the player understands that it could go as far as having a mob grab him while he's sleeping...

    Scholar One-Page Character Sheet suggestions

    Ok... I've got the Scrolls of Skelos and I'm in a creative mood again. 8) I'm thinking of using my energies to make a scholar-specific 1-page character sheet, something similar to my one-page character sheet for Conan (see this old thread for information about the existing one-page sheet)...

    What makes the perfect villain?

    The perfect villian should be recurring. He should always have one or more escape plans in place, and be prepared to cut and run the instant the momentum swings in favor of the PCs. Cowardly is definitely a theme among villians, but it should be used intelligently. I'm not saying a villian...

    I've got the D&D PHB, why opt for the Conan RPG?

    Someone mentioned it in passing, but the *best* thing about Conan OGL is that the games don't revolve around money and treasure. It's not about the loot, it's about the characters! Sure, money can be important in motivating a character or set of characters into going on an adventure... but as...

    High Frontier content..

    They have one design of every major type of air/space-craft, just about. From memory (book not with me right now) they have: one EU fighter one USA fighter one bomber one helicopter one orbital spacecraft one UAV-type air/spacecraft one or two other designs. That's about it.
