Ken Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 (edited) Chronicles of Vengeance "Know, oh Prince, that in the early days of Conan's reign as King in Aquilonia, deep ran the inevitable streams of offense. Real or imagined, in all corners of the kingdom, sulked those whose pride, fortune or self was wounded in one manner or another by the Cimmerian's meteoric ascent to power." Chronicles of Vengeance is a collection of fan-made scenarios meant to be played as a campaign where the players accumulate equipment, spells, and other elements. It follows the solo/cooperative rules laid out in the Tome of Skelos and other Monolith releases. This special edition updates the original 2020 release with new and revised scenarios for the main campaign, as well as a prologue scenario and 2 possible epilogue scenarios - depending on how the players fared during the campaign. There are also 3 new scenarios where the heroes eschew their mortal coils and enter the realm of demons. These are standalone scenarios that show the darker side of the Hyborean Age. We've also added a few extras, like character bios, a travel map to show our heroes' journey, and even a short story based on a playthrough of the first scenario in the campaign, Can I Play With Madness. To celebrate the vast array of Conan products, this book uses elements from the Conan Core game as well as many additional expansions. Keep in mind that not all expansions are required for every scenario, so there are plenty of scenarios to enjoy if you are missing one or more of these expansion. King’s Pledge Stygia Khitai Nordheim Conan the Conquerer Shadow Kingdom Gods of the North (Mythic Battles Ragnarok crossover) Forbidden Places and Pits of Horror (Modiphius tiles) Perilous Ruins and Forgotten Cities (Modiphius tiles) Chronicles of Vengeance introduces a new archetype: the Summoner. Summoners are Sorcerers who turned to the darker arts. In addition to the standard Sorcerer options, Chronicles of Vengeance offers new printable character sheets in an appendix for Summoners, as well as for playable Demons. Here is the appendix with the hero sheets: CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Appendix.pdf 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. CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Web.pdf 2. Self Print - this is a single PDF file that you can print at home or your local print shop. CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Self_Print.pdf 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. CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Hardback_Interior.pdf CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Hardback_Cover.pdf Hardcover Printing Instructions for Lulu Since this is a free, fan-made book, I am not morally or legally allowed to set up a print on demand distribution. Which means you will need to set up an account with a print on demand company and upload files for printing (for personal use only). The directions I list below are for the company Lulu, but you are free to use any print on demand company you choose. Go to lulu.com and create an account. Under the CREATE tab, click the PRINT BOOKS option. Click the button START YOUR PRINT BOOK Enter your login credentials In the START YOUR PROJECT section, choose PRINT BOOK In the SELECT YOUR GOAL section, choose PRINT YOUR BOOK. (Do NOT select Publish your book for sale on Amazon. You will get sued. 🙂 ) In the BOOK DETAILS section, enter a project title of your choice. I recommend Chronicles of Vengeance. Enter a language and CATEGORY, which is required. Click the DESIGN YOUR PROJECT button at the bottom of the page to proceed to the Design page In the INTERIOR FILE UPLOAD section, upload the file named “CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Hardback_Interior.pdf” Wait for the file to upload and normalize. This can take a few minutes. Be patient and get yourself a cold beverage. When the upload finishes, you will see some warnings. Like most warnings in life, feel free to ignore these. In the BOOK SPECIFICATIONS section, the BOOK SIZE AND PAGE COUNT should already be pre-filled. In the INTERIOR COLOR section, choose COLOR PREMIUM for the best quality color. In the PAPER TYPE section, choose 80# COATED WHITE for the best paper quality. In the BOOK BINDING section, choose HARDCOVER. Feel free to choose a different binding if that floats your boat. In the COVER FINISH section, choose GLOSSY or MATTE, your choice. Wait a moment for the PRINT COST to load. This is a printing fee for Lulu, and I do not receive a penny of this, nor does Monolith. In the DESIGN YOUR COVER section, make sure the UPLOAD COVER FILE option is selected. Upload the file named “CONAN_Chronicles_of_Vengeance_Hardback_Cover.pdf” After a minute, the PREVIEW will load. This preview will give you a basic idea of what the book will be like, but it is just a preview and not super-high quality. When you are ready, click the REVIEW BOOK link at the bottom. This brings you to a page where you can review the final specifications. Click the checkbox next to CONFIRM BOOK SPECIFICATIONS AND FILES Click the ADD TO CART button when it becomes enabled Click the CART icon at the top of the page and make the purchase. The shipping will vary depending where you are located. (Also keep an eye out for discount codes on the home page.) Feel free to print a copy for yourself or your friends, but DO NOT PRINT COPIES FOR SALE. Note: The hardback book you receive from Lulu will not be perfect. There might be alignment issues with the binding, scratches, the interior margins might be tight, and the endsheets will be a boring white. That being said, it will still kick ass!

springbringer Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Chronicles of Vengeance has been for years in the making and finally out in hardcover print! Happy to have contributed some scenarios and adding new type of challenges in solo / coop mode. From confronting a cursed Conan with his illusionary crew of pirates to playing as demons in search of a summoner concealed by the Council of Wolves and Snakes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Demon Hero scenarios (3 I think) require some of the new hero sheets, but they are optional for everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
