This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"Beasts & Barbarians" anyone got some feedback on it?

I've seen Savage Worlds Beasts & Barbarians and I like the Conan vibe. If I favor SW, should I get this setting or is there a better one to convert to SW?

Any personal experiences with it pro or con?

Only Savage Worlds book I did buy.  I found it to be pretty good.  Nothing special, but pretty decent.

Unless for some reason you're bound to Savage Worlds, use RQ6 or maybe DCC with Tales from the Fallen Empire.  Much better for S&S in my opinion.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Haven't run it, but did buy it. Couple things make it really interesting. #1: setting--it's definitely Conan-esque. Has a very detailed history, and the races look interesting. #2: adventure generator -- there's a pretty neat on included in the rules.
