Not doing a hardback version Simon? I'm happy to buy the softback but thought I'd ask just in case.

Try this

It looks great, btw!

Now we're cooking
 

I just received my hardback copy of Crimson Blades from Lulu. Damn! This book really turned out great. I am really stoked at how well this book turned out. Great job Simon!

Will you play CB2, The Git? Now we have a flood of good games - Conan by Modiphius, NEVR, D&D 5th ed. I've bought it rather to flower on the shelf. Metaphorically, for I have it in pdf version. Unfortunately...

I definitely plan to use it at the game table. I'm not that impressed with the 2d20 system that Modiphius uses and I hate the massive kickstarters that they produce - I've held right back on the Conan RPG and only committed to the parts that will add to the boardgame. When I run a game set in the Hyborian Age I'll be using BoL as my game engine.

As for CB2 - I think it's a great game that is very evocative of Elric and Hawkmoon. I love the fact that everything is contained in one book and it isn't bloated like the Modiphius money-grab. Also, the book is a great quality product from Lulu. I just wish I could get a hardback version of Honor+Intrigue and I would be happy as a pig in s**t
 

I used to love every Conan released as well. Nowadays I just feel like it's the same old thing again and again. Most of us who have read the books can create a viable version of the Hyborian Age for gaming purposes. There is so much information, maps and data available online that paying for so many books just seems redundant. I'll be happy with the boardgame crossover and art book. That will include the RPG corebook as a pdf and I'll probably get the GM screen pdf as well (again, for the artwork). When the Kull book comes out next year I will definitely buy that.

BoL is more than capable of running an excellent Conan game and it's such a simple system to teach and houserule.
