Conan skirmish rules?
« on: August 06, 2012, 05:00:39 PM »
Hey all,

I see there have been a few Conan game threads lately, and that's awesome. I used to run a long Conan rpg game with Mongoose's ruleset and have been thinking about starting up a new one with Savage Worlds.

That said, I'm also getting the urge to paint minis again and it dawned on me that Savage Worlds is a great rpg for using minis with.

All that said, what rules are you guys using for these Conan skirmish games? Some non-rpg skirmish games sound like a lot of fun. How are you building scenarios? What ruleset? Etc?

Thanks!

I intend to use these:

Hopefully, fingers crossed, grovel, grovel, they will be available in .pdf sometime soon.

You can also try Broadsword Adventures, Songs of Blades and Heroes, or my favourite at the moment - Skulldred.

Matakishi is the inspiration behind my current conan project!
If I wasn't using his rules, I might consider LOTR or Song of Blades and Heroes. Broadsword looks good, but a bit too meaty for my tastes.

We are using Matakishis CROM rules with some addendum and slightly altered(ranged attack, eg.). All compiled into one nice PDF*. :D

I use my own set (link in my sig). Savage Worlds looks great for the more rpg oriented game, and Matakishi's is really good too - each to their own depending on where you are on the complexity scale.

I've used Goalsystem Fantasy in the past for Conan-esque skirmish games.
