I guess I'll just assume that the turn is made mid-movement until someone tells me otherwise. Turning mid-movement, in effect, scales the diameter of the turning circle to speed. That seems the most logical thing to do.

Well...the last post was on the 8th and it's now the 21st. One would think we could get a definitive answer by now.

Three points: First: Conan isn't d20, its OGL. This means that Conan uses the basic game mechanics defined in the SRD, but it is not constrained to using the fluff, classes, races, etc. A quick read of the Conan game aptly demonstrates the difference between Conan, OGL, and d20. Second: If the...

Most of REH's "magic" isn't. By this I mean that concocting potions from various lotus (a favorite literary ploy of REH) isn't magic but it certainly is arcane. There are many things in the stories that come under this heading like the yellow dust that kills the lions at the base of the Elephant...

I agree that magic is not weak or ineffective in the REH world. It is, IMHO, relatively rare. Certainly it is wielded by the main antagonists in stories, but not by every character you meet in a tavern as in D&D. In fact, there is so much magic being flung around in D&D it starts to feel more...

I'm confused. Being relatively new to RPGs (two years), I not sure what the difference between OGL and d20 is. I *think* OGL means that the mechanics definded by the SRD are used but that the game is stand-alone, not requiring the D&D/Modern PHB, DMG or MM. On the other hand, d20 relies on the...

If they offer a discount on the second printing I would give up the title page of the first. It's the TOC and copyright info on one side and the credits on the other, so it will have no effect on the usability of the book.

Is there such a thing as too much magic in an RPG? I get frustrated with D&D sometimes. I like to figure out puzzles, plot strategies, cope with difficult tactical situations, and, of course, kill the dragon and steal his stuff. It bothers me when the best laid plans are nullified by another...

There are several temporal inconsistanties in the text. They are annoying in that I'm getting my mind geared up to thin Conan and then I run into a sentence which refers to "riot gear"...I agree...Oi!

The only issue that I have is that I like to occationally read RPG books during lunch at work. Since I work for the federal government, I have to be very PC inorder to aviod "offending" anyone around me. Needless to say, rather than risk reprimand I leave Conan at home. So, you see, my issue has...

I love painting figures. I've painted hundreds for wargames and RPGs. Good paper standups have their place though (you can't beat their transportability). I recently got into the old TSR Buck Rogers Cliffhanger Adventures. The standups that come with that are really cool, easily scanned and...
