Thanks @Nesh-Shogta.  How does this differ from the previous Book of Set, please?

This Book of Sets is a fan-made version that only contains the scenarios, downloaded from the-overlord.com.
We must salute the talent of the prolific Tony Berart, who succeeded in a brilliant work ("Tony, come back to work on Conan!").
The paper version contains 45 additional pages devoted to artworks and advice for painting miniatures with brushes and panache.

This Book of Set is a fan-made english version that only contains the scenarios, downloaded from The-Overlord.com

Nice campaign! I will pay this for sure

However, this file it is not Lulu compatible.

But I'm curious what change you made so I can make a note of it in my copy

 Just names of some character, like Shentu, not anymore present.

Lulu France subcontracts with a french printer, which has changed since the first print I ordered a few months ago. The new one is much better, it doesn't reduce 297 to 290mm pages like the old one. I guess that for each country Lulu uses a local subcontractor. The quality and deadlines are therefore different.

Il y a 15 heures, Metalzoic a dit :

Yeah. Page numbers are still high (page 8 is actually page 4 etc...), but I figured no biggie and ordered a hardcover anyway.

For another book I had put the page number lower, it had been cut 😴

 

I wonder if it's because none of these files are flattened, but still in layers?
All images have been  flattened.

Thanks for your involvement.

Wow, this new version looks great. That cover is sweet, and I love that nothing needs to be printed. I have no idea when I could find the time to play it, but I am tempted to print it out on Lulu to add to my collection for a rainy day (or week).

Thanks you very much, Ken

(I wouldn't mind having the title on the spine English style instead of French style, however. 🙂 )
Done (english spine is better)

Il y a 2 heures, Metalzoic a dit :

Maybe should pull all the old files down so people easily know what is the latest fixed version?

How can I do that ? I can not delete and upload the files in the right order, because  I would lose the indication of the number of downloads.

Hello,

We can expect v3 soon? Is there any chance that you tell us when? 🙂

Now ! 😀

I just got my V3 hardbook from Lulu, checked everything, fix some stuff. All is good.

V3 is coming !
No extra content to print. Including some Conan: The Conqueror stuff.
Special Lulu version, finaly. Thx Metalzoic.

As a Hardback Book: Also previewed just as it should and also looks like the print copy I own

Thanks for your help, I will make some covers !

OK, I retested all 6 combinations again to be sure. Here's the breakdown for you

Hello Metalzoic,
What result do you get with CONAN_Hither_Came_Conan_Lulu_Cover and  CONAN_Whispers_From_Stygia_Hardback_Cover ?

Luu_Hard_Cover_302x427.pdf

Will not work for a Hardcover Book, errors

Will work as a Magazine, just missing interior page art

 

LuLu_Hard_Cover.pdf

Will not work for a Magazine, errors

Will work as a Hardcover, however it is cut off at the top and off-center so not usable

 

Front_back_inside_cover_magazine.pdf

Will not work for a Magazine or for a Hardcover, gives errors for each

 

Thanks for the good work. I am a bit lost. I just download the new template, in the french website Conan book would be a cookbook ? I have to read it and make it right.

The new Hardback cover file also won't work as a magazine. Gives this error

This is so weird, because I use same size as CONAN_Hither_Came_Conan_FR_Lulu_Cover and CONAN_Whispers_From_Stygia_Hardback_Cover.
There is a new file 302x427, as you request. Please, let me know if it is okay.

Trying to get v2.2 to print on LuLu, but when selected as a magazine it just says the cover is formatted the wrong size and won't go any further. It won't even show me the preview.

Printing it as a book doesn't work either as the cover has the inner leaf art.

I just add the hard cover file for Lulu. Hoping it's alright.

Hi. Thanks for the awesome campaign and all the extra material, like the new map boards. I have downloaded version 2.2, and found some minor typos:

You are welcome, thanks Ronveer for the feed back
 

Tiles: there are some names on the tiles in the Book of Skelos that doesn't correspond with the printed names on the tiles, like Pict Bowmen (Pict Archers), Bossonian Bowmen (Bossonian Archers), Scorpion Queen (Scorpion Broodmother), Ape Men = Grey Man Ape. I guess that every Conan player will easely recognise these tiles.

I use tiles from  the software Conan Editor. I will fix these tiles.
 

Two tiles have others skills:  Scorpion Queen (= Scorpion Broodmother) + 1 extra skill: Poison, Giant Snake: has poison now in stead of Wall wrecker. These tiles are not provided in the addenda. If the player knows these differences, it is not a problem of course, but it is worthwhile to point it out.

I did it, but I will be more specific.
 

Minor French translation thingies:

page 38: Le necromancer, should be The necromancer

page 42: Belit (avec son armure) fait face à l'homme-singe avec ses seuls poings. Should be: Belit (with her armor) faces the ape-man with only her fists.
I will fix it too.

Current 2022, I will be able to make some extra material (small areas, rooms) and soon I will make a pdf with 13 missing tiles + life tokken (Brule, Amra, etc.)

Can this be printed properly as a hardcover then or should it just be a magazine?

 

(thanks for all your hard work btw)

I have tried, not happy about the result (cut edges, bad pagination, dull colors), I know someone did it too, and ask to Lulu to make it better. Springbringer got more success with the magazine version. It's a mystery because I use Lulu files and recommandations. If you have  information/suggestion, I am taker.
Thanks to you Padorr.

Is there a version 2.2 for interior available for publishing?

There is now !
Magazine, not hard cover.

This scenario is improve by Dan North (graphic design Nesh-Shogta).
"Many are probably aware that the original Hunting The Tigress scenario by Adnane Badi is heavily balanced in favour of the heroes, even with v2.0 revision published to the Monolith website.

@Roolz, Thank you for spending the time to dig that up and share it here. Thank you Nesh-Shogta and the rest on this thread for your indulgence and kindness in entertaining this question here. I hope that this has not been too out of place (next time, I will spin up a separate thread.)  

I hope you don't, but sometimes I encounter an OL intractable on a question, and need such source authorities. 

Thanks again, and kind regards,
Barry

Thank to you Barry, because you are one of those people who is involved to improve the adventure.

I see what you mean by intractable OL. It happened to me to try to help some to improve the writing of their scenario, and even after having written 3 campaigns and game aids, my advice fails to help these OL.

I gladly welcome suggestions from players (perfection must be an art, not an obsession).

Dears friends of the brotherhood of the dice of fate, I suggest the following changes for Scenario 6:
- delete the special rule about the secret passage.
- replacement of Bossonian guards by Eternal guards.
- replace Kushite hunters Sacrifice skill by Counterattack.

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.

 

Sorry Ken, I just see your message (notifications does not work). Your file look great, thx.

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. 

Lulu's curse.

It is not a hard cover, because the prototype is not perfect, Lulu's  template does not work, size and margin are wrong, so the magazine version is cheaper and (I hope) not cut with a sword by a blind pict.

ok, thanks, my bad.
