CONAN MRQ

[Strom]

I would take those odds. Wagner's Road of Kings is often described as one of the best Conan pastiches.

Have fun! (provided that is why you read books) :wink:

 

[The King]

The best pastiche I ever read until now is Jordan's Conan the triumphant because it not only includes a true plot but also includes several secondary intrigues which Howards used a lot (in this case warring factions).

But I have Wagner's pastiche among the (many) books I own which I didn't read yet.

Sorry for the late reply, guys.

It is essentialy a matter of taste but I consider it as good (or bad) as Alien vs. Predator.
I am no fan of these hero mixtures unless they all come from the same author (e.g. Moorcock and his Multiverse heroes).
I remember that the issue with Elric and Conan in Conan the barbarian (Dark Horse reprint) was quite uninteressant.

Thanks for the answer, King.

(What's up Axe? )

Hello Strom ! I have been very busy the last few days (I won't go into details in public). I hope you're doing well.

I have tried it and it works well - I find the RQ system far too complicated with all the fatigue and hit lcoations etc. I have bought Elric and Hawkmoon (for completeness) and whilst I enjoy the books the rules are not for me. May nick some ideas here and there.

I have run a cool campaign using Eden's Bufffy system (unisystem lite) as it was nicely cinemtaic and allowed lots of flexability whilst remaining fast paced.

This isn't surprising, especially with the demon generation system.

However I think the legendary ability's system developped by Mongoose is a further step to improvement.

I must admit the last Stormbringer campaign I ran each of the characters had a certain something to make them unqiue ( it started as a one off game with pregen characters) in that vein........ranging from a protection from drowning (the captain of the ship) from Straasha to a demon amulet that knew the right words to say to any women that the charcarter encountered. :shock: ......(well usually.........)

It all worked well

It was mostly 1st/2nd ed rules with things like the Alligence points system thrown in. The only other thing I had played with was giving a few options for weapons - like using "2hd and defensive" but then I play things fairly loosely so if someone comes up with a cool combat (or otherwise) move they have a chance of doing it.
