Hi,
I was one of the co-authors of RQ I&II, back in the dark ages {1978}, so I have been FRP games for a long time. I've written a new system, called Fire and Sword, which the folks over at BRP Central have kindly put up as a free download. It is also released under an open source license, and I encourage Mongoose designers to adapt any rules in it that may be useful for their own projects.
While I do not suggest you switch away from Mongoose Conan if you are satisfied with it, Fire and Sword does covers things that Conan does not {and vice versa}. Since I went to D20 from D100 {to minimize the time spent rolling and reading dice}, F&S is not clearly incompatible with Conan. You may want to consider using some rules form F&S.
So, having explained that Fire and Sword may be relevant, that I am not making any money from this, and that therefore this post is not spam, it is time to offer some URLs

Sorry if this offends. Sorry if you read it over on the RQ form. Hope you like my current ideas, and find them useful.
