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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

That looks pretty awesome. mmm... permanent damage...

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.

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...

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

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.

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...

Oh yeah, I found this:

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...
