A combat round is 6 seconds isnt it? Or is my memory playing tricks?

An accomplished archer could do it pretty quickly. Okay one round may be a bit too quick. In reality it depends on where you had the string. If it was kept on the bow (the top loop slides down the length of the bow a few inches and the whole thing hangs limp) it could be done very quickly. If...

I can perhaps add a bit of info regarding bows, being an archer myself. Some bows would be easier to carry over one shoulder than others. Bows with a low brace height (distance from the string to the bow in the middle when strung) like the English longbow would be very tricky to carry like this...

Hi Guys I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, so I'll not list the details until somebody says yes or no. But I've got a few Mongoose Conan books for sale. Our group is pretty much just going to focus on a Thunder River and Black Kingdoms campaign(s) and the rate at which we're playing...

We're playing the Thunder River campaign from the book at the moment, its fantastic and already one of the players has sort of complained that the action is a little bit too "on the edge of your seat" and dangerous - perfect for Hyboria then! :lol: I just make a few rules up regarding terrain...

I'm using a lot of pre-written stuff at the moment, we're playing through Across Thunder River. Well actually, we're about to, we just completed the adventure related to it in the Conan Compendium. I do like to add in a lot of extra stuff, new characters, sub-plots and an on-going story/plot in...

UK here, but North Yorkshire area - where is Fairford, I'm assuming its down south?

<--- 29 here and I'm the youngest in our group of 4 :lol:

My next campaign is in the Pictish wilderness. My players are going to face every conceivable environmental encounter I can through at them, from big snakes in the rivers, to wild animals, rampaging Picts, Picitish hunting traps set all over the place - its going to be fun!

4 but thats including me.

Mine started off in Zamora (and is still there) then heading off to the Pictish Wilderness for a campaign. Then they'll be heading to Zingara to restore an exiled noble to his position (said noble is an npc with the party now, though they havent made any attempt to talk to him and find out his...

Hi Just reviving an old thread, useful info already for my campaign. What would the average wage be for caravan guards? We're starting our groups campaign tonight (finally :D )

I voted Yes, on things like stats. For example, where it says next to an entry for say, some item or monster, "see xxx book for details" then reprinting the stats is very useful. Not so much for things that can be found in the core rulebook as most people have that, but being expected to own all...

I'm going to take my players (we're starting next week, The Slaver's Caravan will be their beginning adventure) through the campaigns in Across Thunder River and Tales of the Black Kingdoms. One of them I'll have to adjust for the pc's being a little higher level than the campaigns are set for...
