Hi all,
I've been a dungeon master for ad&d 2nd edition for many years.
Then i stopped playing - it's been ages since i have played the last time.
I'm fond of ad&d 2nd edition rules, although i know that a 3rd editon and a 4th edition were published.
Now the point is: i'm going to buy a copy of Conan RPG 2nd editon (because i've always been a huge fan of Conan comics and the like), but i'm wondering if, in order to be able to play it, i should first read and learn ad&d 3rd edition and then read and learn Conan RPG as well.
I apologize in advance if my question may look silly, but as i said before, i'm out of the rpg business now and i know that many things have changed, that's why i'm asking. I heard that Conan is based on d20 (which i don't know what it means), so i assumed that it is based, in one way or another, upon ad&d 3rd edition core rules...am i right?
So, is it possible to play Conan RPG simply reading this?: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=1449&qsSeries=7
or is it necessary to get used to ad&d 3rd edition first?
My second question is: do you think it is possible to play Conan RPG using ad&d 2nd edition rules?
Thanks in advance for your replies
cheers
