I'm actually doing the opposite and running a Conan game using the SW rules and the Solomon Kane RPG from Pinnacle. I find SW is a much better fit for Conan than d20 ever was, but that is just my opinion. My group loves it though.

Ah heroquest, what a great game. We played this for hours on camping trips and at friend's houses. We even started making our own "campaigns" and adventures for it. As for the Conan RPG's fate, all I can say is that I hope whatever game system gets the license (if any) that they give it the...

I disagree with this statement because I think this is not so much an issue with the rules, but rather an issue with the players and the campaign itself. As a GM, if you run a combat heavy campaign your players will begin to gravitate towards the combat skills and edges because that will make...

That's cause it is small :) I only have the PDF version but that is 163 pages of good gaming fun! The system does have some crunch to it but it is fairly consistent and not nearly as much as other game systems such as MRQ and d20. Not to bash those systems mind you, but they are more...

I'd like to mention that I ran a Conan game for a while with 2 players using just the core SW book and the fantasy toolkit (for monster/npc stats). Both my players said they had the most fun playing this game, using these rules, than any other gaming system. They never felt their characters...

I'd say it could support long-term campaigns, assuming that is what you wanted to play. I have not run a long one myself honestly, we did a couple adventures then ran out of time as one of the two players went back to university. But that raises another good point, you can run a game with only...

I actually love Savage Worlds, and I have a couple players who love it as well. We did a Conan game using it a while back, just the core book, and it was excellent. Shaken mechanic, I don't mind it. Beats the hell outta keeping track of hit points. Rules-lite it is...definitely. Quick, also...

This news saddens me as well. I LOVE savage worlds and LOVE Conan, I would have purchased the atlas and the SW rulebook, pre-order them even. Never played Runequest and never will......but dammit.....that news really blows.

Saxon, it sounds like you have a good group on your hands. I was leary of 4E when it came out, but after running through a few adventures (NOT wizards adventures) I can honestly say it is a really fun game. It does have a more "gamey" feel than most other RPG's out there, and is not nearly as...

That's why I love Savage Worlds so much, no levels, no hit points, no static attack/damage modifiers or iterative attacks to worry about.

I think the best version of game system is the one that you and your gm enjoy the most.

I've run Conan with Savage Worlds a few times already. You really don't have to convert anything you don't want to. All characters start as humans, and you can use the sub-races from Conan d20 as archetypes in Savage Worlds. i.e. Cimmerians are good climbers, are strong, and fearless. In SW this...

Paizo makes great adventures! But I can't say I agree with their decision to stay with 3.5 as I really really loathe that game system. I looked at the Pathfinder PDF and still saw the same issues I saw in 3.5. The tweaks to certain feats, races, classes, spells, and the whole CMB CMD mechanic...

I could see Conan being an awesome game when using FantasyCraft...or even Savage Worlds now that the Fantasy Companion is out.

I was gonna pick this up once it comes out on xbox :)
