Ugh. I wish them well, but this has no appeal to me at all. How many times have we been down this road before? Give me something new! I need this like I need another retroclone. I'd also be curious about how long their license is for. Why invest in a game that will be pulled from the shelves in a couple years? Licensing is the Devil! (Or, it can be.) I hope they secured the rights for a goodly length of time.

Conan. The game that would be great for Castles and Crusades or Savage Worlds.

Conan isn’t a rules system, but a setting and a way of playing. The DNA of R.E. Howard’s Hyperborea is present in almost all fantasy RPGs.

"Modiphius plans some select supplements including missions designed for the Monolith boardgame, as well as floorplan tile sets allowing you to use Conan miniatures in your roleplaying adventures!"

Dead to me. No thanks.

Hmm, maybe. It will come down to price. The boardgame is priced high so I imagine the RPG is going to be costly.

For AD&Dish Conan adventure, Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea is really cool. Haven't actually played it but if nothing else, the races and classes could be applied to C&C to make the game a little more Sword and Sorcery and a little less Tolkien.
