Yeah, I was going to say that moving the demon/snake into Conan's path would slow him down. The debris would also help, but Conan has a lot of movement points to spare, so I would probably start with the snake. The cool thing about this scenario is playing it again and trying a different strategy. Or swapping sides. 

Roolz is correct, Thotmekri /Xaltotun can activate, he just can't move. Demetrio, can describe the Hero and Overlord actions for turns 1 and 2 that enabled Conan to reach Thotmekri /Xaltotun so quickly?

Eventually there will be a Lulu version, but it will be a while. The difficulty is that there is a lot of custom print stuff besides the booklet (hero sheets and cards). I want everything to be professional quality. I found a Lulu-style printer for the cards, but not for the hero sheets. 

Awesome!

Woah, nice!

Ken, any chance for a lulu version of this?

Possibly, but I would need to reformat it. I really love this campaign.

The Burning Heart of Ahriman 

"Know, O Prince, that ancient gods rose and fell like the waves. Once such god, Ahriman, summoned all manner of creatures who tormented mankind in ways no longer spoken. As Ahriman’s power waned, these creatures were hunted near extinction, for revenge ever burns in the heart of mankind."

The Burning Heart of Ahriman is a 6 scenario solo/coop campaign. These products required to play the content of this book:

2. Self Print - this is a single PDF file that you can print at home or your local print shop.

Feel free to print a copy for  yourself or your friends, but DO NOT PRINT COPIES FOR SALE.
Note: The book I received from Lulu was not perfect. There was an alignment issue with the binding, there was a scratch on the back cover, the interior margins were tight, and the endsheets were a boring white. Overall, however, I am highly pleased.

So we are on the same page: 

Sacrifice  - When a friendly character in this character’s area is attacked, before dice are rolled, this character may choose to be attacked instead. This character cannot Guard for that defense.

Circular Strike - When this character kills an enemy character with a 2-handed Melee Attack, another enemy character in the same area suffers the excess damage from the attack (if that character is killed, repeat this process).

Is your friend is saying that a) the Sacrifice skill invalidates Circular Strike, or b) that the Sacrifice skill can be used to redirect the excess damage from a Circular Strike over and over until there are no more units with Sacrifice? 

Thematically, it makes sense too. Think of it like a pellet gun (regular attack) versus a 50 caliber rifle (circular strike).

How I play Sacrifice : With a regular attack, one single dude can absorb all damage of said attack, indeed. But if one of the heroes has Circular Strike skill, he can kill several dudes with 1 attack, even if they have Sacrifice (remaining damage still goes to another dude after the sacrificed one). Area attacks (Lighting storm, Explosive orb, etc) work as well. Maybe it could helps killing the guards & archers faster ?

I agree with Roolz on this. Sacrifice is basically a meat shield. A big circular swing can slice through the meat shield AND the target (and anything else nearby if the swing is big enough).

Tales of the North Special Edition

"The North?” rumbled the Red-Haired Woman, seated across from a soft faced lad. She slowly lowered the mug of ale at her lips until it thunked on the table. When she continued menace edged her voice. “Aye, I am of the North. What’s it to you?"

Many months ago the Nemedian Chroniclers recruited a group of hardy scribes from all across the land. These scribes were tasked to travel into far reaches of Nordheim in search of wondrous tales and treasures. Instead, the few who returned, frost bitten and mad, in their moments of fevered consciousness raved of more harrowing encounters. Tales of ice and blood. Haunted groves and ravenous beasts. Fierce women and desperate men. Tales of frost blasted forests. Circling crows and sharp swords. Sorcerous beauties and murderous savages. Tales of the North...

Tales of the North Special Edition is a collection of fan-made scenarios for both Adventure Mode and Solo/Co-op. Six authors deliver 17 scenarios focused primarily on the Nordheim expansion for both Adventure mode and Solo/Co-op mode. See the table of contents for full requirements.

We are providing this special edition in three formats: 

1. Web Version - this is a single PDF file that you can use digitally. The images have been compressed.

2. Self Print - this is a single PDF file that you can print at home or your local print shop.

3. Hardcover Edition - 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 hardback book. I will also provide step-by-step instructions on how to use Lulu, if you choose them as your print-on-demand service.

Doh! Clearing my cache did it! Thanks.

FYI - For this new version, the search/filter menu for the Encyclopedia is completely transparent and unusable on my Chrome browser on Android,. 

Thanks for your continued work on this! I love this app and use it all the time.

... but what about the singles I see floating around places like eBay (giant spider/scorpion, swamp demon, etc.) 

FYI - Those aren't expansions. Those people are selling individual pieces from the kickstarter stretch goals. Like Seaorgrudy said, get the King pledge (which contains all the stretch goals) if you can, or the Barbarian pledge (which contains most of the stretch goals) instead of buying them piecemeal. 

Board Game Geek has a good list of Conan expansions here:

Hey Nesh-Shogta, what do you think about this for the cover for a hardback book version? It has to be one page, because the endsheets are Lulu's default white. Also, since the book is thin, the spine is on the cover, but I was under the impression that you wanted it that way.

Thanks for the update!

I thought it would be a simple task. But when you are working with perfection I imagine that even small changes can result in instability and potential demonic possession. 

I can assure you, it is NOT a simple task. 🙂 

Here is a history & gameplay video for the original Mythic Battles Kickstarter. I combined the videos for easier viewing.

Gods

Heroes

Monsters

If you like the scenarios, I would love to read your reviews and see your game pictures if you post them on Facebook.

Love this upgrade! Well done.
