The Kickstarter campaign for Alexander Macris' Adventurer Conqueror King System II tabletop RPG is expected to kick off on Tuesday, October 24th. It was just announced today that it will get a Conan the Barbarian supplement based on Chuck Dixon's Conan the Barbarian novel series.

I checked DriveThru. It’s dead. Thank f*cking Christ we might say.
However, the end of Modiphius’ Conan licence does cast a new light on things: Conan: An Age Undreamed Of goes from commercial bullyboy to historical curiosity, perhaps worthy of something other than derision.
I own most of the...
I might be late to this party, but as the crushing hand of Modiphius is lifted from Conan one notices that there are some pretty good Hyborian resources available.
I did a quick re-read of the Modiphius supplements that I own. They really are dull. Even leaving aside the need to spend most of...
I’d be interested hear about Jason Durall’s new Conan campaign, The Shadow of the Sorcerer. It sounds great but the Modiphius Conan line tends to be all fur coat and nae knickers. And 2d20.

This is a collection of Mythras characters done up for a Hyborian Age campaign. The characters are largely with the same point totals, though there may be some variations.

Hi all,
My GM and I are working on converting our High Octane homebrew system into a Conan-esque sword and (low-fantasy) sorcery style game. I've looked through as many Conan ad Conan-esque RPGs (the 2d20 system, the d20 system, the 80s TSR games, ASSH, Barbarians of Lemuria) as I can find, and...
Since Endless Flight has some questions about Conan 2d20, I'll repost a playtest.
WARNING: THIS IS A LONG POST
So, I ran the Conan Quickstart adventure last night. I didn’t slow down to keep track of everything, die roll by die roll, it would have been a mechanics test, not an adventure.
We...
So, there is a new Conan game out there by Modiphius and I've perused the quickstart rules and I wasn't inspired. I did play the d20 version by Mongoose years ago and it wasn't bad. Is there something you would recommend? Maybe I should give Modiphius another chance? Maybe reskin something else?
