    Would you switch to Savage Worlds for Conan?

    I haven't been to the forums in a while. Our campaign has been on hold for almost six months! Anyway, we are starting up again and I am DEFINITELY running it through Savage Worlds. To me, it is the perfect fit. I do have a few questions: I am mostly using the Solomon Kane book as a base, but I...

    Soundtrack for your Games?

    Finally found the Conan 2007 video game soundtrack from Mike Reagan. Perfect. Download here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=06DVDRIE

    Warrior's Companion - February 2009

    I think Permanent Damage is great. Anything to make the PCs fear combat is a good thing. The grittier the better. I also think that PD can cinematic--losing an eye, cool scars. I would, however, never ever use a table to determine PD. I do agree that the "upward trajectory" still must be...

    Spicing Up Combat

    I think the Combat Manuevers are great, but I agree that A) some are lame; B) some of their prereqs are too steep; and C) some too useful and used too often. I for one, have just this minute decided that all manuevers must be learned in game and then can be used whenever. I will use the...

    Time for measuring 2nd edition

    I voted "Good", based on a comparison of the Conan line with other systems and/or publishers. When I first found Conan RPG by Mongoose, I was shocked at how faithful to Howard they were and at how geniunely good the material was for the supplements. Second Edition is not a good for a number of...

    Pirates

    Clovenhoof: I know this was discussed on another thread, but what are the skills that your group uses? The consolidated skills that we use are: Acrobatics Athletics Academics Arcana Bluff Craft Heal Intuition Legerdemain Lore Nature Perception Persuasion Ride Sailing Search Stealth I just...

    NPC list

    On this same note, I made a quick reference card for NPC to use during combat. I put in an area to remind myself of their tactics, combat manuevers, etc. It is in Excel format and its designed to print onto a standard notebook card (3x5). Some printers can't handle those, but I guess you can...

    Soundtrack for your Games?

    Nice, thanks. The God of War II soundtrack is pretty good. 300 gets kind of thrown off with the electric guitar, but I might try it anyway.

    Soundtrack for your Games?

    As a preface, please realize that I am being ridiculously picky about the music for my game. I've sampled only about half of the music suggested on this thread, but I was wondering if anyone could guide me to a more specific feel. A lot of these soundtracks and albums are great, but they can...

    Consolidated Combat Maneuvers

    I missed a few from Fiercest. I'll add them soon and revise the link.

    Consolidated Combat Maneuvers

    No, that wasn't me, but it would be handy. There are a lot more feats than combat maneuvers though :) Maybe I'll revise the pdf with the OGL thing and short abbreviation for the source of each feat.

    Consolidated Combat Maneuvers

    I have painstakingly compiled the full descriptions of all the combat maneuvers listed in the Player's Guide to the Hyborian Age. I divided them up into Melee, Ranged, Mounted, and General manuevers, but otherwise I left them as they appeared in the books. If this steps on the toes of any...

    I like this Map

    I'm with you AKAmra... I can't wait. Hey, I have an idea: let's start a collection for GP. Maybe a PayPal account or something. I'd throw in $20 for a good map. I'm sure other people would throw in a $5... it could end up being a pretty good amount. Or even better, Mongoose can foot the bill...
