  1. I know both of them! The first one is Logan's Run (1976). The second one is THX 1138 (1971). Strange: judging on the movie itself, I suspected Lucas' one to be more recent than Anderson's, but the latter one was made five years after the first one, although it's the more kitsch.
  2. Well done for Truffaut's movie! The easy one is Terminator II: Judgement Day (1991). This is during a daydream of Sarah Conor. A most famous scene that haunted my childhood. You're right to guess the difficult movie rather than the easy one: it gives you more points.
  3. Well, as a French-speaker, I may be mistaken, but the rule seems to state: The player may reroll one die once for free. If it is written that one dice may be reroll once, doesn't that exclude the fact of rerolling that very die twice, or thrice, or 'n' times? The French version of the rule states: which I would translate roughly by: The arrow on a die means that any die of that color may be rerolled for free only one time. The French expression Une seule fois being quite close of the English word once in my opinion. As you said, @Epaka, it would be good to get some official answer about that. Maybe someone of Monolith, like @tony could clear this up?
  4. A warm welcome to each of you!
  5. Here are my two movies: Hint: neither of them is Fire, walk with me. Easy: Difficult:
  6. The first one is very likely The Last Samurai (2003). For the hard one, I have no idea, but I'd rule out any of the Zatoichi movies, and it doesn't seem to be one of the Kurosawa chambara movies... so... Wakarimasen.
  7. On the fourth page of the Heroes Rulebook, second version, it is written: It seems to me that about this, @Arthadan's way to play is canon, and yours, @Epaka, is a variant.
  8. Hum. There are people on ebay who seem to turn Conan boxes into spare parts and sell them for a living. You might find what you want by those guys. For instance: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/bag-o-gems-jewellery-treasure-monolith-games-conan-boardgame-spare-parts-plastic-/112563851504?hash=item1a355410f0:g:4n8AAOSwACZZuoKW (Just take care of not being ripped off, as their prices aren't always fair.)
  9. You're right about the difficult one. The easy one was Casino Royale (2006), the 21th James Bond directed by Martin Campbell. Your turn!
  10. I must see this Mr Vampire movie. Sounds great! My two movies to guess: Easy one: Difficult one:
  11. You can as well give some clue for your previous movies, if no one was able to guess. Anyway, as the second one isn't so hard for someone who watch French movies, I'll try to fetch some points: The easy one (not so sure, but I'll try), may be One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), by Milos Forman. The hard one, easier for me, is The Professional or Léon: the professional (1994), directed by Luc Besson. Just curious: what were the movies you showed us in your previous post? It didn't ring a bell for me.
  12. You're right, @Bawon Samdi! The hard one was The Virgin Spring (1960), by Ingmar Bergman. Your turn!
  13. Here are the pics of two movies I really enjoyed: The easy movie: The hard one:
  14. Well, I've read the first two books of the Bragelonne edition. I'll borrow the third one as soon as I can, so I'm looking forward to read that story.
  15. Huh. First idea occuring to me: is by any chance, the easy movie: Harold and Maude (1971). Well, one point is still one point.
  16. Well, the fact that the spell casters can cast only one spell of each kind during the mission makes the Enchanter pretty weak, in my mind too. A shame to have this complete set of Heroquest sleeping in the basement, though. But maybe it's in a display case, where the best parts of our childhoods should be. I haven't painted much Heroquest these recent days, but during the end of the summer, my wife managed to finish the fimirs miniatures. Here they are, fighting the first painted hero:
  17. You've got something here, if you want to update them via the Gimp (by @JabbaTheHatt): https://the-overlord.com/index.php?/files/file/32-fiche-héros-éditable-pour-gimp/ And this one is if you plan to use Photoshop (by @Roolz): https://the-overlord.com/index.php?/files/file/21-modèle-fiche-héros-hero-board-template/&tab=comments#comment-10
  18. From the album: The Shivering Hands

    Inspired by the fire version of the Dark Demon by @Budala, here comes an obsidian/lava demon.
  19. I didn't follow the color pattern of the artwork on the Earth Demon, but I got my inspiration from one of @Budala miniatures of Dark Demon that you may see here: Instead of a dirt/earth/rock effect, I wished to get make it looks like as if it was made of obsidian with lava underneath. I'm quite happy with the result.
  20. I must confess I haven't read the Red Nails yet.
  21. @Arthadan, I think that the Blacktooth Terror looks a bit too much like a T. Rex for me. But like @narayannis2, I don't really like the Dragon by Monolith. I will look for a proxy, too... The Behemoth as a nice look.
  22. I love Švankmajer shorts. Among them, Dimensions of Dialogue (Možnosti dialogu) may be my favorite. Your turn, @Footballzs!
  23. Hi there. I'm not from Monolith, but from what I've read on the French-speaking forum, I may give some answers to these questions. @Fred Henry told us that the Book of Set was a test to see if there was still some interest from the public for Conan or if most of the players have moved on other games. What happened yesterday evening seems to prove that a real KS for Conan around 2019 is viable. Which is good for the game and for us. There may be a way to get the Book of Set whose scenarii will be available on Monolith's website on pdf during that 2019 Conan KS. That mini-KS was also a test to deliver a product as quickly as possible using the Kickstarter platform, which means that the final product is printed in advance, thus that there is a limited number of Books of Set. The number of books was chosen from the number of Campaign books sold during the first KS and from the number of free community-made compendium made at the Overlord forum during springtime 2017. Obiviously it wasn't enough, but they couldn't know it by advance.
  24. So it will start sooner in the US (during the afternoon), than in Europe (during the evening)? This is outrageous!
  25. Nice miniatures, @Epaka! My favorite is the second one you made. I'll try to do mine like yours when I'll paint it. (Around 2024, following my schedule. )
