Free Conan Role Play Rules based on OD&D!
« on: April 12, 2012, 12:57:02 AM »
Hello everyone, last week I posted about a hard cover edition of reprints of the first 11 Conan comics. Staying with the same theme (Conan), today I present you with some cool role playing rules that I found on the web.

Here is the website to explore
http://www.grey-elf.com/

and here are the Conan rules, I gave them a read and think they are very well written.

Main rules:

A supplement for sorcery in the Hyborian Age:

and even a DM screen!:

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Cheers,
 Damien

Damien, my man, you kick ass!  I'm using the OD&D rules (Basic & Expert sets) to run my Epic Heroes fantasy background for the Brink of Battle supplement we're working on.

My D&D buddies will add to the background I have created, and then their characters' exploits will be used for the flavor text in the supplement.  :D

By the way, when you're ready, I'd still like you to be one of my playtesters for the fantasy supplement.  Just say the word!

Ooooh! Conan for D&D... I remember that I saw the old Conan rpg in a supermarket in the US as an exchange student back in `85. I just didn't have the money at that time - what a shame. So thanks for bringing me back some (bitter-)sweet memories.

Cool.

I had a link to (and downloaded) the Barsoom supplement, but didn't explore the rest of the site. Gotta love D&D-without-numbers (where I started with this whole shennanigans back in 1980...)
