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.

Any opinions on the New Conan RPG?

Here, I even made a thread for you.
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

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

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

Well that got loud fast! Remind me who it was who brought up movies in the first place?

Hmmmm....


Quote from: CRKrueger;982379The losing of the license was all about the movie.  They thought the license would be worth more after the movie release.  The problem is they forgot to include in the movie license that it couldn't be a piece of shit. :D


Anyway, where were we.....oh, yes, the Conan RPG suxx a$$!!!
I pretended that a picture of a toddler was representative of the Muslim Migrant population to Europe and then lied about a Private Message I sent to Pundit when I was admonished for it.  (Edited by Admin)

That was the movie license, in the context of Conan RPGs. :D  The movie stuff via numbers, etc, started way before with Darrin Kelly.

Anyway, so far I've been happy with the adventures that have come out.  I wish the major sourcebooks (the "Conan the X" series) had an adventure in each one.

That's it, you are on my list... :D



Perhaps somebody would be so kind as to answer my question from page 2. The bulk of this thread, minus the movie discussion has focused on why the 2d20 sux or doesn't and what game system should have been used. Very little discussion about the quality of the fluff, and the little that has been discussed frequently refers to d20 making it unclear if the Mongoose stuff or the person is dropping the 2 from 2d20.

I for one would be very happy to see some discussion of the material separate from the debate on the rules.

and just to save people the trouble of finding my post, I'll quote myself below

QuoteThe description of the system doesn't appeal to me. How well does the material work for use with another system?
 I didn't care for the d20 version either, but did buy a few of the better rated books because the source material was good and useful beyond the d20 system.

As source material it's excellent (reading the Conan books at the moment for comparison), the core book is obviously just that so you are bumping against system as you read but if that doesn't bother you then you'll have plenty of mineable material.

The system I'd have to run to give an honest educated opinion on but nothing I've read gives me to much pause.

Oh and although I've only flicked through so far the adventures and sourcebook look equally as useful whether playing 2d20 or for use in your system of choice.
Talk gaming or talk to someone else.
