I think that many of the demographic numbers in The Road of Kings are not very well thought out. The preciseness of the figures used in the book just make this more annoying. I think the flavor of the book is excellent, but for real numbers I think you just have to use a little common sense...

Same for me. I emailed the guy I was supposed to email months and months ago. I'm trying so hard to get back into RPGs, but it is hard. The only company that seems to have plenty of money and staff and high production values is WOTC, and I hate their game. I really like Conan and WFRP, but...

I think you will find that most of the demographics in the published Conan stuff don't make any sense. It is an aspect of the game you really have to work on yourself if those numbers end up important for you.

I complained in the forums a lot about the map, so I just wanted to post that this is great news. I appreciate the effort from Mongoose on this one.

I've been spending some time on other games lately, and it has only re-enforced my dissappointment with the Mongoose maps in general. I was looking through my Marienburg supplement for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and wow wow is that a great map. The difference is night and day.

I think a lot of the problem is caused by the d20 system itself. NPCs are not easy to come up with on the fly under the d20 rules, so many GMs like to have pages devoted to typical statlines for a variety of NPCs. Personally, I dislike d20 so much at this point that I would like the...

I agree. I just got back in RPGing after a long break, and I can't believe how bad the maps are now. Even if the Shadizar map had been correct, it still would have been crappy.

If you cant' figure out how to order this product without someone on a message board specifically responding to your post with the ISBN, you must have a tough time with a lot of things.

It seems to me that the regions that REH wrote the most about are the ones we would need the least help with anyway. The "european" Hyborean nations are already pretty similar to what most of us are familiar with. Almost everyone has played a game or read a novel set in a fantasy/historical...

I'm pretty sure that in The Hour of the Dragon the capital is Tarantia.

My PCs are currently lost in the swamp in the Border Kingdoms. They were lead there on the trail of a demon, but the warrior who lead them was dragged into the murk by beastmen and they have lost their heart for demon-fighting after the damage they saw the thing do in the last session. The...

You guys have some good ideas. I'm going to post my ideas for what is I plan on putting my PCs through in another thread.

I plan on having my PCs get taken up North by a band of Aesir this week. Anyone running a campaign in Nordheim? Any ideas for what sort of things they might encounter in the wild? The main rulebook mentions some sort of polar vampire worm, sounds sorta tough for my 3rd level pcs.

Definitely Road of Kings should be your 2nd purchase.
