You don't need to wait any longer: You can download the files here: ‘wrath-of-the-gods.com’ under game boards. The quality is not really good for printing: BUT you can simply use a free image enlargement programme to improve the quality. One suitable programme is: https://www.pixelcut.ai/t/upscaler Better still: https://dgb.lol/ai-image-upscaler I got the best results by first running the files through pixelcut and then again through image-upscaler. If you live in Germany or are considering shipping abroad, I can only recommend blockout tarpaulins for double-sided printing, which I had printed here: https://www.wir-machen-druck.de/blockout-freies-format-extrem-guenstig-drucken,category,20666.html My maps (80x80cm) no longer differ in quality from the ones I made for mythic battles Pantheon. Greetings, Boris

Thanks Roolz. That makes more sense. I changed over to a different scenario which was similar and watched a play through video by Paul on line and the rules seemed to explain what you stated a lot easier. Cheers!!

Maybe you missunderstood something. Indeed the overlord units does not have such limitation, since the do not have assets...

I have a question about line of sight on the Ruins of Olympus map. On the right-hand side of the map, there are two areas with capacity 5. They share a short border next to the Rock area with capacity 3. Is there line of sight between the two capacity 5 areas? I have attached two pictures. One is of the pdf map here on the-overlord.net. The other is of the physical map that came with my 1.0 All-in back in the day. The pdf says clearly there is LoS. The physical map says yes, if you measure the line between the centres of the capacity dots very precisely, but even then it is enough to make me wonder if there is or is in fact no LoS.

Great thanks for the info

IIRC, I just used an online pdf editor to remove the cover pages (to create an "interior" file), and to copy-paste-resize the cover pages (to create a "cover" file). It was fairly quick.

Hi, how would one have this printed through Lulu? Is there a way to create a cover file without Photoshop software?

Circular Strike has not changed. Please indicate where you saw that in the rules.

I believe you got at least 1 thing wrong. A-Victory conditions: If, at any point, there is only 1 Computer (token or miniature) remaining on the Map, the game ends and the Heroes win. They have destroyed the door-opening system and prevented the Villain from accessing the vault! Otherwise, the game ends after the Heroes’ turn in round 6: -THE VILLAIN WINS if there are 2 or more Computer miniatures on the Map. The door-opening system triggers, the Villain gains access to the vault and sends the formula to Lex Luthor. -THE HEROES WIN if there is 1 or fewer Computer miniatures on the Map. The door-opening system does not trigger and the Villain is unable to access the vault. So even if the villain succeeds in activating all computer tokens on turn 1 (and replacing them with minis), which is not easy (see below), the turn limit is 6. In all cases, the heroes have 6 turns to destroy the system (i.e. remove 3 computer tokens/minis with a complex thought Difficulty 4). B-Manipulation / Thought. Security guards do not have a Manipulation stat, they have a Thought stat. In this scenario, the only villain dudes that have Manipulation are Deathstroke (1 black die) and the Prisonners (1 white + 1 yellow rerollable). They need 2+4 = 6 cubes to be activated on turn 1 (so 4 cubes left). It's doable, but chances are the Villain won't be able to succeed all 4 manipulations Difficulty 3 without spending several extra cubes for paid rerolls. So he'll probably be "half-naked" for the next turn. And the positions of his dudes on the map will probably not be optimal.

I wish there was a version that would allow for the pages to be in a printed order rather than the bound order with a double page spreads. The Batman Scenario is cut across two different pages and I have to cut pages in half to put them together.

I have attempted to play A Golden Opportunity but cannot win this scenario. In fact, I can't get past the Villain's first turn (they have initiative) as I can always replace 2 computer tokens with 2 computer miniatures every single time, and sometimes 3 computers before the Heroes even get a turn. The rules indicate that once there are 2 or more computer miniatures on the map, the game is over. On the Villain's first turn, all 3 Guards can get to three different terminals on their move and then get a chance to complete a Complex Manipulation which they always seem to succeed on at least 2. Deathstroke moves next and almost always activates the Complex Manipulation on his turn as well. By then, at least 2 to 3 computer tokens have been transformed into Computer miniatures. The Villains usually have a couple of energy cubes left after their turn as well, even if I provide them with the maximum re-rolls of 4 in the cube used section. What am I doing wrong??? Are the dice just lucky? Am I interpreting the rules incorrectly?? Do the Heroes get to complete their turn?? Any help, interpretation, etc. would really help. Thank you in advance for any help.

I’m not sure where you are seeing that. It hasn’t been changed as far as I am aware.

The original rules limited the Circular Strike to 2 handed weapons (encumbrance 3 or more) The second edition has removed that limitation. I checked both languages to make sure that this was not a glitch in translation, and it appears not. In some ways it ought to have some limitation on the weapon in use, so a dagger, for example, should not gain this benefit. I would welcome thoughts from others on this subject.

I don't know, it depends on Monolith since it's an official file. That being said, I just had the French version pro-printed as softcover booklet and it looks great. There are not tons of pages (same as the core box Overlord booklet), so I'm not sure a hardcover would be "worth it".

Any chance to have it adapted for hardcover printing?

An expansion created by @Arzok, with a little help from yours truly and a few others, and @Renand for the layout. The keen eye will notice that the "additional proofreading" on the credits page is blank, so an additional check by an English native speaker is welcome.

The Way of the Overlord “It was useless to call on Crom, because he was a gloomy, savage god, and he hated weaklings.” By what vile means did the wicked sorcerers and bloodthirsty warlords of the past so easily extend their sway over vast territories? This is the question that Publius, King Conan's high advisor, asked a handful of venerable scholars from the royal court. Shakily exploring the palace's forbidden archives, they unearthed half-moldy parchments and ancient, faded tablets, written in languages banned since eons past. They recorded their findings in a leather-bound booklet, which they placed in a box engraved with protective symbols, before handing it over to Publius. The latter was undecided. Should he give the box to the king, or keep it to himself to acquire the dark secrets it conceals? The Way of the Overlord is a fan-made expansion that enables you to play some of the Adventure mode scenarios solo, as an Overlord. Heroes are played automatically by a few simple rules very similar to the official Solo/Coop mode (Heroes against a non-player Overlord). This will allow you to discover the subtleties of the Overlord's play and gain a better understanding of its specifics. This booklet requires the Conan core box. Some scenarios require the Stygia and Khitai expansion boxes, the Barbarian Pledge stretch goal box, and the King Pledge. The Conqueror expansion box is optional. We are providing this expansion booklet in three formats: 1. Web: This is a single PDF file that you can use digitally. The images have been compressed. CONAN_THE_WAY_OF_THE_OVERLORD_EN_Web.pdf 2. Self-Print: This is a single PDF file that you can print at home or your local print shop. CONAN_THE_WAY_OF_THE_OVERLORD_EN_Self-print.pdf 3. Softcover (Magazine): This is two PDF files, one for the cover and the second for the interior content that you can send to a print-on-demand service for a stitched booklet. You'll find hereunder step-by-step instructions on how to use Lulu, if you choose them as your print-on-demand service.

There might be alignment issues with the binding, scratches, the interior margins might be tight, etc. That being said, it will still kick ass!

I've entertained the idea of snagging some of the old Marvel run for a Conan rpg scenario. Now that you mention it, a lot of those comic one-shots would work well as a board game scenario. If you decide to drop the scenarios on here, do let us know 🙂

No official way. There's a fan-made Solo/Coop mode draft/WIP on the French side there: https://the-overlord.com/index.php?/topic/4826-mode-solocoop-dante-20/ It looks good but unfortunately I never found time to play/test it. So if you're willing to translate it, just give it a go. The linked zip contains several files but only one (16-page pdf in the root folder) is necessary.

A version was deployed that includes the solo/coop rules. Enjoy
