I can't find it in any primary book, so it may be in one of the regional books. Don't get too hung up on it though. Just look at the stats for the other armors and come up with something everyone finds agreeable. A leather Jerkin is cowhide, but the thicker hide of a bear shouldn't provide more...

Well, there's a barfight, and there's a barroom brawl. I barfight is a couple of guys (or at least pretty equally numbered sides) going toe to toe and is pretty controlled, straight forward combat. A brawl is when all hell breaks loose. In my opinion rules go out the window (the game kind and...

Nope. Never enve occured to me. Not sure how the system works or what it's strengths are, because my only Traveler reccolections are from the old, little books. Why do you think it would be suitable?

Howard the Duck was a pretty funny and cool comic book in the 1970s... ...um... I really have no idea what you guys are talking about. (lol) I can'say taht I ahve no place in a conventional D&D game (and definitely not a Conan game) for fighting, talking ducks. That's jsut silly. However...

But what is skill consolidation/merging supposed to be "solving"? Too many words on the character sheet? No. It's meant to eliminate excassive die rolling by having points in one skill rather than two to speed up the game, or it's meant to have a single repository for skill points thus allowing...

Ahhh...the simplicity of people wanting to change the rules for no apparent reason. (lol) Alright, here's my own special ascerbic take on skill consolidation: It's for unimaginative clods who don't want to simply play the RAW. To be less...testy...I'm not for skill consolidation, for two basic...

Although pretty true about Rome (even though some nutty leadership and some massive theological changes were involved too), I'd say your LA military recruitment demographic probabaly had a lot more to do with being in LA than interest in the military, wouldn't you say?

All you really need is the main 2nd edition rule book. Get Return to the Road also if you plan to run a detailed geographical campaign, but you may nt need it unless you have real big conan fans to contend with. There's lots of basic info on the world in the rule book. Then, I'd suggest the...

Howard writes that, but who's words are they? Are those his thoughts or the character's? <sheesh> :wink:

You gotta remember, folks, 30s Texas and white-biased racial views are pretty much the way things were, so referring to REH as "a racist" needs to be put into context first. He wasn't an evil dude because of his classification of people based on race, but was a product of his time and place whi...

Dude, Sup4, I think I told you all of that months ago and you fought me tooth and nail. Glad you came around. :wink:

I know exactly what you're wanting to do, but the multiclassing rules handle this just fine, IMO. Multiclassing is very generous, and you risk unballancing the classes and potentially the whole game by "selling" class features as feats. If you insist on coming up with te swap system, then the...

First off, welcome to the boards and keep asking the questions. This place isn't like other RPG forms where, if you ask a question that has been asked 1000 times already, everyone jumps you case. We all realize that there's an unwieldy amount of threads and info to scrouge through and we're all...

Those numbers totally mean something to me, Flatscan. They mean to me this very simple thing: Without marketing or original publisher support, the 3.X gaming has held it's own against millions of dollars, a complete system revamp and the WOTC juggernaut and still quite possibly claims a 1:2...

Dang...Demetrio sunned ne up in two lines. (lol) I was in fact point out that if Obsidian Portal is worth quoting as an accurate source of what's popular in RPGs, then 3.X games are active around 50% of what DD4 games are. That's less "popular", but it also could be a factor od a younger, more...
