Conan compendium

[René]

Look at Mongoose' CONAN product section!

 

[MGBM]

Very nice!

However, I noticed that Hyboria's Empires is not on schedhule anymore, not even in the product search page. What happened to it? I was looking forward to it.

Things slip up and down the schedule all the time

Mongoose tend to be more open than most by putting their tentative schedules up so we can see what is "probably" coming and when. The downside is that you start looking forward to something and one day notice it's not there any more. Sometimes products get cancelled, sometimes they slip, and sometimes they get bumped ahead and released early.

I hope they follow suit for some of the other game lines.

One day, we might tell you the three year struggle we have had with this book

You must of just pulled it Matt - it was on there late last night. I'll look forward to hearing that story someday...

Can't wait to see what's in the Compendium!

For 25 $ it's hopefully not only reprint material (which is partly already included in other products).

Compendium's usually are reprinted material. Perhaps it will be like a master index? I envision this book being similar to Tito's...

Just speculating though.

Lots of people have asked for a book of nothing but S&P Conan article reprints, though (and others for other games)

As it says it has been sourced from the very best Signs & Portents articles, I would guess that it is not "just" reprints, that any errors have been corrected, and that some things have been expanded upon. I have not seen it though so that's just a guess.

I wouldn't mind personally if it was just reprints. There's a lot of S&P stuff since the move to PDF that deserves to be seen in print.

 

[Sutek]

Yep, I'm one of them. I'd gladly pay a mere $25 to get all the S&P articles in one go. That's a lot of info, and in a nice, durable hard-cover binding too.

Big question: Is it going ot be a "TITO" and be reprints in boring black-and-white, or are we going to get the full color articles in all thier glory?

 

[MadDog]

Is that the cover that was originally planned for Shadow of the Sorcerer ?

Sure is. I knew I had seen it...

I put together this list of all the Conan Sign & Portent material to date. I separated the articles by the categories listed on the S&P index: rules, gaming tips, scenarios, settings and source material. I also added up the categories by the number of pages of each article - obviously this could differ with a new book but as you can see, there has been 147 pages of S&P Conan Content and the new Conan Compendium is listing at only 96 pages.

That said, I'm missing some of the new and older stuff and I'll be very interested in what the 'Goose decides of the following articles, to put in the Conan Compendium. 8)

Thanks Matt! You da man!

Nice to see the few things I'm missing. The easy thing to do is for Mongoose just to slap all of those into one PDF and sell it that way. I'll pay $10.
