Sorry to have missed it; as far as I know the contact form is still working. Anyway, you have my attention now! :-) You could also get in touch via the forums at http://xoth.net/forums/ - thulsa

Since this adventure takes place on an island, it is very easy to set it basically "anywhere" in a given campaign world. For the Hyborian Age, I think I would place the Silver Lotus Isles among the Southern Isles (or slightly north of them), and have Kwalu and his kin be originally from an...

When was this, and how? Did you use the contact form on the website? I answer all messages I get, not sure why I haven't seen yours. All my books on Lulu are Pathfinder only (with the exception of Spider-God's Bride, which was written before Pathfinder and is therefore plain old 3.5E). To buy...

Hi, "Land of the Silver Lotus" is a stand-alone sword and sorcery adventure module for character levels 4-6, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and usable with any fantasy roleplaying game (such as the Conan d20 RPG by Mongoose Publishing!). Narcotic plants, hostile pygmies, giant...

That suggestion gets my vote! :-) - thulsa

I was calling it "S4's definition" because you were paraphrasing from the book, not quoting it directly. For example, the book says 8th-level characters are "skilled adventurers", you call the same "legendary characters". The book says 12th-level characters are "legendary figures", you call the...

Actually, I own every single Conan RPG book published by Mongoose. And my name is listed in the "Special Thanks" section of the Second Edition core rulebook, probably because I provided Mongoose with a long list of errors, inconsistencies and problems which they needed to fix for the second...

Thanks, and looking forward to hear your thoughts when you have read and/or played it. Yeah, but I've gotta leave something for future modules, too... :-) - thulsa

True. I haven't even played the Conan RPG for 3-4 years now, so I'm not going to put too much energy into discussing the faults I experienced with the system. My viewpoints are well documented in the links I have provided. Again, each group and each campaign is different. For those who think...

Let's take a look at some of the NPCs created by Vincent Darlage, co-author of the Conan RPG, shall we? I'm going to pick a file at random, let's start with the Stygian NPCs. Note that Conan himself is statted as an 18th-level (!) character at this point in his career, but let's not concern...

I assume you mean "XP3", not "XP2" ? - thulsa

I see you have created a separate thread for this, which is a good idea. Let's keep this thread on the topic of XP3: The Citadel beyond the North Wind. - thulsa

Honestly, don't you think this is a rather limited basis from which to make general statements about the entire system? "Misperception", or actually using more than an extremely limited part of the rules? OK, this Caelis has Str 19. He takes Power Attack as his first feat and wields a...

All right, let's go with Hyperborea then. :-) This is correct. The issues I had with the Conan d20 system are detailed in the link I gave in my previous post. I went back to "straight" 3.5E with some house rules (many inspired by the Conan d20 rules) and I finished writing XP1 just before WotC...

I've answered the same question before in this discussion. To summarize: The intentions of the Conan d20 rules were good, but the implementation was often quite broken. Pathfinder is a more robust system, and it is currently in print. If you look at my house rules you can see which classes I...
