Easy is Dragonslayer, hard is.... (Edited for misspelling Drogonslayer)

Man you guys are too fast for me!

I was going to create the orgy room scenario before ever we started to work on the full movie. If I don't find better for the masked pot stirrers I'm going to use The Colosse by Sygill forge, love that figure

Looks right to me, what says you BigA?

That's it - I'd always wondered how a ginger could father Conan

That's spot on

Some great finds there F, particularly love that one of Conan's mom

A did I mention a bigger wiggle? That lady was wiggling all she had for dear life but according to the sculptor ...it wasn't much ;0)

I've been thinking about this and it really works as a solo scenario for Subotai if Valeria is present, but just as an ally who's first concern is fussing over Conan Subotai has to cover them and fend off all comers. A suggestion as to how it could be handled, just to get us talking: Stage 1. First a die roll for how long it takes her to get him down off the Tree of Woe (d3?) Fight off the vultures? Stage 2. Then roll for her time fussing over him on the ground and trying to bring him round (2d3?) The hyenas smelt blood... One ear and his pack Stage 3. They stagger slowly toward the map exit with Conan draped over her Thorgrim's revenge (a kill on Thorgrim would make him retreat instead - need him for later) Stagger to the edge mechanic - C&V must choose between 4 exit areas, one on each map edge and end each turn closer to the one chosen except: They may not enter a zone that contains a surviving enemy. If all routes toward the target are blocked the player may then choose another exit for them to go for if wished Valeria takes a retaliation swing at anything that attacks her or C, preferably just one dice - we'll need a "Valeria as ally" card, the two of them have a joint wounds total listed on it Once Conan and Valeria exit the map alive the little guy's work is done *One ear the pack alpha may be a heroic enemy with his own card and an applicable skill Lots of choice of mechanics we could think up and use instead, solo scenarios need extra playtesting and careful thought as they're unforgiving

I'm a middle aged englishman, living on the NWest coast. I also speak american, schoolboy french unused these last 30 years and I read latin badly (see french) .

NQD Mr Vampire is awesome, not so the sequels tho heh I too got Rocky Horror straight away - tells you something of my mental processes, struggled with the easy one till I realised it was Daniel Craig

Best thing about that is that I mean it because it is true Which is a fantastic result given this project was begun with huge ambition and has all the potential to give so much fun so close to the Conan material that actually brought so many of us to the books. To see that first part, first essential bite of the project come together so well, so quickly, real work accomplished, hard work (just how do you make a map like that?) getting done. Not only is it fun and satisfying but it bodes a successful awesome, essential to the canon project.

Dude .......I am short! And whilst anyone can see that artwork is a skilled rendering of the material, I sincerely suggest the lady needs a bigger wiggle, can we correct the casting director's mistake?

Generous of you given I've mostly just chattered heh I'm glad to be on board but I still have no boards! So hard waiting for my boxes to turn up heh Wife is already fed up with my enthusiasm, and the mess I'm making sculpting Black Ones now I no longer have an office at home to corral the mess. She's going out tomorrow in self defence...

Guys this encountr has shaken down so well and so quickly, I really like all of the final options that have been chosen. I really think it will play out really well and more importantly with the weapon swapping/trap mechanics, the supporting cast and the dark sorceror who can now get into the heart of the conflict if he chooses I think it is totally recognisable and yet has much more potential to play out many different ways. A great start to a major and much loved project, nice work! PS Thulsa Doom's soldiers now have a new battlecry "Thorgrim's trousers!!" and we all know he's not pleased to see us... he used to keep a snake he raised in those bad boys

The rig of his swords can be explained only 3 ways 1. They are not sword hilts, they are carefully camouflaged external reinforcing stays for his corset - see heavy armour styling 2. He's riding a small bicycle and they're not sword hilts - they're the handlebars 3. They're a stylistic choice of the film, same as the ridiculously big hammer Thorgrim has. Now you know that Thorgrim didn't have a hammer - it was a hobby horse he rode throughout the movie, only after the filming did they realise the ears and mane had fallen off.

I've always used background music and my players know to sit up and grab the dice when I reach for the remote to change the track to something gritty or stonking. That said my actual favourite is the first Conan soundtrack Basil Basil Poledouris produced some of my favourite pieces of music just for this movie. (I've chosen "Funeral Pyre" for my own funeral arrangements, the way it builds that same simple theme all the way from sombre memorialising to glorious soaring - love it and I do need to be gloriously celebrated!!!!! - and the wife has vetoed any Monty Python) Braveheart, Gladiator, Pirates of the Carribean - At World's End (especially Singapore), Excalibur of course, to name just some regulars. I use the Icewind Dale sountrack from the game franchise, better than a game deserves, the music from Skyrim too In the past I've encouraged my players to make up a CD and now that every phone stores and plays a truckload of hifi quality playlist it's gotten so easy. As GM I rule with the divine right of kings over all aspects of the session, the word SKIP! may have been a little callously used in relation to some tracks among player's music choices..

Gah.... I'm putting up a Jean Reno film as a hard ask on an anglo-french forum hahahahaha Yup you're spot on with One Flew Over, such a great movie and not easy to find a still without Jack in the middle of it heh You're spot on with The Professional or Léon: the professional, in the UK I remember it as just being titled Leon for a third option. Remarkable for it's performances it's a gloriously haunting, sparkling piece. Besson's best for me. The first of my earlier offerings was Mr Vampire (1985), don't be fooled by the plot synopsis it's one of the funniest movies you'll see, the physical comedy is awesome http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089371/?ref_=ttmi_tt The harder one is still my nomination for the best ever martial arts movie, it also features the genius Ching-Ying Lam but this time Sammo Hung did his best fight choreography work, it's The Prodigal Son (1981). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085211/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_92 I guess the age and the genres made them way too obscure but they are hugely famous movies and way more memorable to me I guess heh Congrats NQD, full points and it's over to you!

I need to rewatch the later parts of the movie and see if he's still wearing a blade despite his change of philosophy - that would steer my thinking Mind a quick google of images has him wearing a matching pair of swords (in a ridiculous rig for drawing, fighting or riding with them - so they and the heavy armour may have been for show) when he was on the steel hunt, but I can't see anything on him during the orgy scene or the orphans of doom scene at the end. Whatever blade skills remained to him he can't cut with what he's left at home...

Definately need that sword, it's the one Conan's father forged during the opening credits and that they took from his body, it's the one that failed Rexor at the mounds when he fought Conan. Afterwards Conan hacks off Thulsa's head with the shard Thock.. thok.. thok thok thokthok thok...

OK too obscure and in danger of bringing the game to a shuddering halt Let's try again with better judgement Easy Harder Again sticking to the much loved but a bit more widely regarded

Looks right to me! Favor of the God's cost 1/1 effect: target character may add one skill dice for free when using a skill during this turn. Maybe it adds to all the target's skill rolls till the next time Akiro moves or acts?

For Akiro there's merit in the strong ally vs weak character choice as you say, and he mustn't be a remotely competent warrior. Not belabouring the point (I hope anyway) Anyone who loves the films would love him anyway - maybe though he's no hand to hand killer he does bring the favour of the gods (ok... it takes the material form of rusty old bits and pieces of armour strung on a spear), what exciting but non-flashy option could this make for? He didn't throw any spells that I saw The warrior falls off his horse then, "I kiiilled hiiiim............ with my speeeeear" "That's how we do it!" Noone should be struck by lightning but even Thulsa Doom's accursed seeker shot boinged into a hastily flung out shield for some reason To be honest as I write this and despite my love of the old git I'm seeing him more as a part of the Mounds setting than as a primary participant, and that spells ally. Look! I persuaded myself heh If he's going to be an ally then maybe the favour of the gods was the reason few stood against many - all characters get a free reroll for almost everything? That would do it ! and he'd still get the odd satisfying poke in with a spear I'm sure! OOOH! I am a native speaker! I can do that! Lived and worked in the States for years so I speak both kinds of english. And I can playtest plenty too

Love those trousers ;0)

Dear lord.... I wrote this and I mean it like the love of my firstborn son... But then I thought of Cerebus..... "Only when game is scarce.." This may get to be a serial habit, it may take years
