Great stuff! Thank you!

Mr. Darlage, I would love to have anything you would like to share. Thank you, Saeros

I would not be opposed to purchasing books that had no game system information in them, and then downloading the game system stats of my choice from the internet.

I am a big fan of Mongoose's Conan line, especially the works that Vincent has been involved in. I, and many others, certainly would have purchased the Atlases. I am looking forward to all of the Conan publications that Mongoose might publish in the future, but once Mongoose stops publishing...

And it's in color! Do you think Vincent wrote the "Conan 2010" part? :lol:

I believe the rules state that you can not dodge if you do not have a friendly or unoccupied 5' square next to you. That implies to me that during the dodging, the character might move into that space and then back.

I think the other thing to consider is the level distibution of the population. Most of the world is going to be made up of 1st level NPCs. The majority of the armies will be made up of 1st level soldiers. I give my minor NPCs average hitpoints, so the typical gate gaurd can be killed with one...

I agree with Scorpion. After a few peasants get arrows in the forehead, they are going to smarten up and take cover. Perhaps surround the place and wait the party out, or set fire to it to drive them out. They all can't be the village idiot...

I agree. I am really surprized that the moderators on the Mongoose boards allow so many threads about how Conan should use a different system. If you don't like the Mongoose version, go play something else, and talk about it somewhere else.

The Flight Leaders could be included in the Hawks, so that a Flight consists of: 11 Asshuri 4 Hawk Leaders 1 Flight Leader 16 in a Flight * 12 Flights = 192 192 + 8 Captain's Flight = 200 +1 Captain = 201

Just a follow-up... We finally got to the scene where the Binding Contract might have come into play. The temptress had no need to use this ability as the PCs immediately declared they would help her with no promise of rewards of any kind. It was a great debate anyway! Thanks to everyone...

I don't give out XP at all. I write my adventures based on a level, and when the adventure is completed the players move up to the next level. My adventures are probably longer than it would normally take to advance a level. If I calculated XP, the players would probably advance faster, but...

I agree that the same old tricks start to get boring. In the end (and I know there are many variations but...), don't most of the adventures boil down to "Kill X; Take X's stuff" ? It's up to the GM to keep it all interesting with variations and combinations. I'll second the idea of looking...

It seems to me the issue isn't with the Temptress class or the player of the character but with the encounters. Even if the GM is running published adventures, he/she should be modifiying the encounters so that everyone can participate some how. Maybe the bad guys have their own Temptress...

I don't have any experience with Savage Worlds, but the concept of "mooks' vs. "non-mooks" is one I am familiar with. I handle that in my game through level and class. The mooks are going to be low level and hence not have much in the way of abilities, so their influence on the PCs, through...
