Many more reviews shall follow -- Ibis willing! -- but I am still suffering the after-effects of a very prolonged series of computer network breakdowns.

I just posted a copy of the review of the "Pocklet Edition" which I wrote for Amazon.com.

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/conanla/ is a group for a Conan RPG campaign which I am starting in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley. I am accepting a few more players for that game. I also have an ongoing Forgotten Realms campaign (closed to newcomers -- too full!) whose group is at...

Ah! So "The Atlantean Edition" isn't a different set of rules, just the revised and retitled basic rules. Correct? That makes shopping for a current rule set MUCH easier. I was afraid that it was Conan RPG rules for King Kull without reference to the Hyborian Age. Thanks for your help...

That is one of the most sensible explanations I have ever seen explaining the principle of sacrifice from the P.O.V. of the recipient. WWBSD? What Would Bart Simpson Do? WWGCD? What Would Great Cthulhu Devour?

I developed a character for a Forgotten Realms campaign who I intended to develop into a condottierre. The amount of book-keeping necessary to run even a small mercenary company down to hardtack and brass tacks is considerable, but can be a source of pleasure for the detail-oriented. At...

Collectible Card gamess are an instrument of social control developed by MK-Ultra. Victory goes to the rich, who can buy the cards which are both rare and powerful (thus difficult to attack and/or defend against), so they provide a motivation for kids to learn to GET MONEY TO BUY THINGS, as...

What is the current BASIC introductory book to the Conan RPG? Is it ISBN 1904577695, published January 2004, according to Amazon? How is this related to the "Atlantanean Edition" (or is that just a fancy named for the pocket edition of Conan rules)? I apologize for asking what probably...

Good work! That is an excellent hook, if the PCs already have some idea that "the Aegis of ...." is extremely valuable or extremely powerful, or if they have reason to search for the writer (a reward, for example). Thanks for cluing me in to the Dobkins font, too. I would personally choose...

Somewhere? Anywhere? Preferably the Valley. REH was my introduction to fantastic literature for adults and my gateway to the Cthulhu Mythos. I even ... er ... ah ... edited (yeah, that's the ticket -- "edited") a copy of Justin Geoffrey's People of the Monolith, which has, alas, been stolen...

That's no "Guest," that is I. Or "from I." "From me." (Doh! There goes the bloody writing job....) I suppose "Sheffield is an "in joke." In any case, no, I'm not from there and have never been there nor near it. Why am I being accused of being English? Did I fail to put the punctuation...

Hero of Alexandria designed temple doors which operated something like this (more or less): priest (or supplicant) makes burnt offering on altar; air in altar is heated and rises, creating partial vacuum further down pneumatic pipes; water is sucked up pipe to fill vacuum; buoy on watertank...

I read Matthew's post on the Yahoo Mongoose board and was agape at all that's in there. I can barely wait to get my hands on a copy!
