I hope its a age of conan book
Oh man! I think you may be on to something. I could see Mongoose changing the name to "Age of Conan" and changing the game to matchup/sync with the MMO.
CROM! I highly hope that Conan doesn't go the way of D&D 4E! I much prefer it to stay an OGL product line.
Well, its not going '4th E', its not going RQ (unfortunately), and its not going Pathfinder. Its more than just a special edition for collectors, and VD is working on it (Vinces parents should maybe have thought about those initials...). The books taken off the schedule are being released next year, so its just temporary. Tha means that Empires of the Hyborain Age will be just as relevant next year, so it cant be a whole world spanning 'campaign-in-a-box'. Its not a dual statted d20/RQ version, cos theyve almost said as much, and that would not be 'great news' for Conan fans.
Its something great for Conan fans that entails none of the above possibilities. It cant be just another camaign book, because that wouldnt need secrecy. Its not a series of scenario books becuase of the same reason.
It has to involve the rules, but it also has to be senstive to current fans. It has to be a series of limited edition collectors books of the rules, a players book, a GMs book, Monsters book, possibly. This fits the description, its more than just one item, and theyre doing this kind of thing with Paranoia as a dry run to see if its commercially viable and popular. You could say thyre also using the Paranoia line to make sure the physical books are nicely done artifacts, considering that Mongoose have had printer trouble in the past, and the fact that they can afford to mess up the Paranoia line as a trial run, because Paranoia isnt exactly Mongoose's golden egg.
I'd say it was 3 collectors books, limited edition, around £30 each, GM book, players book and Monster/Campaign book. In time for Chrsitmas maybe.
