Hi all,
I have recently been interested in running a new Conan RPG campaign. In order to ensure that everyone has a reason to be together instead of just 'there' I have decided to start a mercenary type game.
The concept is that the players will all be soldiers in the Nemedian Adventurers. They will start out at 2nd level with one level of soldier being mandatory. They will then have missions given to them and as they succeed they will raise in rank and prestige. I have also considered giving them exotic weapon proficiency:Greatsword for free to reflect their training.
Hopefully this will enable to P.C.'s to work together as a unit and eventually when or if they do decide to quit the military they will stay together.
One thing however that gives me concern is that two of the players are women and will probably want to play women characters. Do you think this could be problem in a mercenary group or should I really bother making a fuss about it?
Also could some of you give me some tips on how to run a military/mercenary type campaign?
