I went crazy today!

[Wicked Tinker]

Today I lost my mind. I ordered the Atlantean Edition and the GM Screen from Mongoose, I ordered Pirate Isles from Overstock.com, and I ordered The Scrolls of Skelos and The Road of Kings from Amazon.com. Hell, I don't even play the game! This is good stuff, Mongoose. Thank you.

Good for you...

I recommend buying them as they come out from here on out though...it's easier on the budget

So what made you take this decision?

Had you read reviews, seen someone else's copy, or did you simply decide you had to have it?

Let us know if you actually get Pirate Isles. I saw its picture (rather, the old pre-release cover) on Overstock's webpage, but it's listed as Conan RPG (Hardcover). They do have RoK and SoS listed by name, however.

Ah-ha, so that's what happened to the final distributor/retailer copies of the 1st printing

Yes, I was worried about that when I got my order confirmation. I went back to my account status page and confirmed that the product I ordered was, in fact, Pirate Isles. The price is significantly below the price for the core book, so even if it is the core book, I will not feel cheated (just devoid of Pirate Isles!)

Well, I had purchased the core book some months ago, enjoyed the read, but never got an opportunity to play. My group had just finished a campaign and my offer to run Conan was rejected in favor of Eberron. Anyway, I was content with just the core book since I was not actively playing the game, but I had the good fortune of attending the Dragonflight gaming convention in Seattle last month. There was one game of Conan being run, so I made sure to get a ticket to that event. Only three players showed up, so perhaps that speaks to the popularity of the game in the Seattle area. The GM was fantastic and I really enjoyed the session. Since then I have been thinking about the game and devouring all the Conan pastiches I could get (primarily Jordan, who cannot touch Howard but is, nevertheless, entertaining). I saw the cheap price of Pirate Isles on Overstock.com, so I took the plunge. Now I need only gather some players and run some of the scenarios that I received from the Sons of Cimmeria program. Hopefully the players I get will enjoy the game as much as I do and be willing to continue into a campaign.

I myself finally took the plunge and bought the Conan RPG earlier this week. Now I am hooked! Today I purchased The Road of Kings. I am really looking forward to Across Thunder River.

I have got pirate isles it is not a hardback but it is full of detail and well worth a flutter

I received Pirate Isles from Overstock.com today. I ordered my Atlantean edition from Mongoose well before this order, but PI came first. Hmmm, come on Mongoose, I want my book! Seriously, Overstock is a great place to find things on the cheap.
