I'm crushed. It sounds like a perfect solution and I would get back to buying Conan Rpg books in a heartbeat. This is insane.

Maybe I'm overreacting and I could blame everything on the lack of time to re-learn d20 or read non-essential books. I don't know, seriously. But let's ask us one thing: did the last LCW make Mongoose Conan better?

As I said, I'm not selling my books because of the wait, at least not directly. Both Long Cold Waits just made me re-think my RPG purchases and habits. It turns out that to run Conan "my way", I only need The Road of Kings and a simple rules set (not d20). Since I didn't like the 2ed. too much...

No kidding. The first LCW made me stop buying new Conan RPG books. Now I'm selling the ones I have, keeping only the Return to the Road of Kings. I'm still going to run Conan games, but I think I'm done with Mongoose Conan. I'm not saying it's bad, but it doesn't suit my needs anymore and both...

Can't be true, because it does not follow the "Something of Somewhere" title formula. ;)

I expect the conversion to be quick and painless. We're not carrying anything over from the old campaign, I don't need rules for sorcery - pretty much all I need is to take generic Savage Worlds and cut out skills/items/backgrounds that are not suitable for S&S.

Scholars... I just don't let my players use magic. At all. I keep sorcery NPC-only. For the re-start of my campaign I plan to just scrap the whole magic system altogether and give sorcerer NPCs spells (converted from Mongoose Conan or entirely made-up) as I find suitable. Hopefully it'll make...

I'm preparing to re-start my Conan campaign after a 1 year break and I find re-learning the rules difficult. The basic "roll d20 against a target number" rule is simple, but there are so many modifiers, exceptions and additional mechanics (grapple, feats, special abilities) that it's...

Never got into 2ed. It looks like it's losing focus, getting a little generic and crunch-oriented.

Stygia: Serpent of the South (Sands of Death was the original title of Stygia sourcebook).

No, just as when a doctor says "Neeext!" he doesn't mean the second guy in the waiting room. Context is important here.

Well, people usually say "this summer" if they mean 2008 and "next summer" if they mean 2009, at least where I live :D

Who's Soloman? ;)

That's what I am ordering right now. :D

The description mentions only "beasts and other entities" and there is this Heroes & Villains book coming up, so I guess the Bestiary contains only non-human adversaries.
