Am I the only one that wishes they would save us all $5 and make these books softcover?
I mean to me a 160 page book is really cutting the edge on how short a book can be and still be hardcover. When WOTC puts out 128 page books in hardcover it is even more rediculous.

I'll believe it when I see it. :roll:
I tend not to believe what Amazon lists.
Who is this Whitaker and has he written for the Conan line before?
Please tell me it is an alias of Mr. Darlage. :lol:

I agree, and not because of the price either. I much prefer flipping through a softcover, so I prefer softcover for the main rules as well. My pocket edition gets much more use than the full hardcover at our table.
When I see a hardcover on a slim book I get suspicious that the content alone is not sufficient to sell the book. This has put me off purchasing the Argos & Zingara book, which is listed as being 96 pages hardback in the catalogue, even though I am very interested in the region.
I am sure I am very much in the minority, but I also don't care for colour. To me, rpg books are textbooks, not coffee-table books.
well I sure hope he follows vincent's and dale's ideas about these regions.
Vincent, any chance your going to pop in and say you've been in touch with him?
It would be great if Lawrence also became an active poster here and kept a dialog with the fans like Vincent does. I would really like to see these source books done well: both accurate to the cannon and considering that both regions are some the the more vague areas of Hyperboria, that they new are fitting to the world of Conan.
I would be really unimpresed if Kitains were represented as Japanese Samurai as in that god awful Dark Horse graphic novel.

1. Never believe anything Amazon tells you. I don't know where they get their information, but it's false more often than it's true.
2. That said, Cimmeria and Khitai are indeed planned for this year - as well as Zamboula, Asgard/Vanaheim and some other bits and pieces. (Like the Hyborian Bestiary, which I'm currently skiving off doing to wander the forums.)

Thank you but, PLEASE, TAKE ALL THE TIME NEEDED FOR PROOFREADING.
The Players Guide I recently received is fantastic but it is also faulted by various errors.
I noticed them all in less than a couple of hours and I cannot believe you do not have enough people there to do final checks on the books.
If you are really going to publish all that stuff, please do not rush, and take all the time needed to check it all.
