Does anybody have any sample characters or NPC's posted to the internet? I'm going to try to run an intro to RQ at an upcoming gaming session and it would be helpful to me to see some pre-generated characters. Thanks so much.

Vincent, I love your work on the Conan RPG. Why don't YOU write an Age of Conan novel? I'd be first in line to purchase it!

I've been waiting to buy Shadizar until the map situation was corrected. Should I buy it in the near future, how can I be sure that the new map will be included? Thanks.

I'm planning on running a few Conan RPG adventures at an upcoming Con in Seattle, WA. I was thinking of running a modified Kovag-Re and the first adventure in Black Kingdoms. Any other suggestions as to what might be more appropriate for an intro adventure? The con, by the way, is...

Vincent, I think you are being overly critical here. I agree that the style can be jarring, but I think Coleman has a distinct voice and I don't mind it. Of all the game related crap that I've read, and I lump this book into that category, this is by far the most enjoyable and the most...

Does Vincent Darlage work for Mongoose, or is he a freelance writer? Vincent's work on the Conan RPG is exceptional! Thanks Vincent.

Deadpool, I play in Bellingham, WA. A few hours up I-5. Wish you were a bit closer.... :)

I met Chris Bunch at a con once and I asked him why his "King" books were so pornographic. He just smiled (by the way, he looks like someone you'd see buying hustler at the 7-11) and said, "Because that's what people do." If that's really what people are doing, then damn, I'm missing out on a lot!

I was stationed in a little town called Bad Aibling, which is south of Munich. I believe the largest town around was Rosenheim. A funny thing happened a few years ago. I remember that I always bought beer from a tiny village called Aying. Practically every town and village had their own...

What a fun thread. Because next weekend is my 20 year HS reunion and I'm waxing nostalgic, I think I'd like to chime in. After HS I joined the US Army and served for 4 years in Germany doing intelligence work (I see a fellow Intel soldier here. What MOS? I was a 98k10M7). Couldn't stand the...

I too played in Hyborian War, many years ago. Details are sketchy, but I do recall that I was Pictland and I was rather easily crushed by Aquilonia. My whole game centered on trying to unify various tribes and I was never able to really do that. Was fun though. I recall that the map was...

I ordered mine months ago. Cannot wait!

My group wishes to continue playing Black Stones of Kovag-Re following the completion of the module. I changed the scenario so that Oleska was a very rich merchant and did not pursue the group to the temple. Instead, he sent his henchman. Following the betrayal and their eventual victory, the...

That's a little harsh, guest. What ever happened to "to each his own"? I hope your post was tongue in cheek.

Well said, Arkobla. In my game, I found that the multiple opponent bonus, while difficult to track, really made a difference in combat. The group was able to gang-up on a very difficult opponent and wear it down. The same happened to the Cimmerian who rushed headlong into a group of oncoming...
