The compendiums were put together by the French community and compendium II was finished some time ago. It’s the translation that is taking time. Compendium III consists of scenarios for Mythic Battles not Conan, so it appears that one has been translated already.
Mikey Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 So there's a mistake on the philbertnet website? Because right now it indeed only has a pre-order option for what is listed as a French version of Compendium 2. Hopefully someone will clarify/confirm this soon. 1
Lermure Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 hi, there is a electronic version that we can buy? philibert selling French version of: Compendium III - The Overlord But shiping cost like 30$ CAD. 1
Castor Troy Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) So we will be able to buy the Compendium II in English soon? If so, where? I never got an email to order this even though I had bought the first one. Edited November 2, 2018 by Castor Troy
Rueco Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) No news about the English edition (Compendium II), please? 😐 Edited November 8, 2018 by Rueco 1
Adam Hart Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 I hope some news come very soon. I'd love to buy all three compendia (missed #1 at KS, unfortunately), in printed English version. Probably I'll also buy PDF editions at philibertnet.com, just in case. 1
ukdane Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 +1 for Compendium II news in English please. 2

I guess now, that Monolith lost Conan license, Compedium II in English is not happening. At least not till 2020. They may publish it in PDF form, but they cannot do any physical Conan related products till the end of 2019. 1
Epaka Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 I think that Monolith can still help publishing the fan-made Compendiums. They aren’t ‘products’ that they are ‘selling’. They are just collecting money to offset printing and shipping costs. But I dunno... 1
Chokra Broodslayer Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 I am interested in the compendiums.
Shamaniac Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 If I'd knew French, I'd already helped it to translate. But no 😞
CabVol Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 So is the Compendium 2, going to be available in English, in the near future? 1
Arthadan Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 The French version of the Compendium 4 is in the works (Mythic Battles and Batman, no Conan). Is there a date for the English version of the Compendium 2? 2
greenmeerkat Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 To save on shipping I'm hoping to buy the English v2 and v3 at the same time so it sure would be nice to hear something about v2. Really don't understand the silence on this. 2
Toomanybarts Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Yep, same position, was lucky to get Compendium 1 and Bought Book of Set, now want Compendium v2 to complete collection!

Epaka Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I know I’d certainly love to get Compendium 2 in English. I think there are a few factors at play here. Monolith is centered in the French gaming community, which is fairly insular. They are more than happy to sell games to anyone, but they are definitely catering primarily to French gamers in many ways. The French version of The Overlord site is very very active. This English site, is not very active at all in comparison (which is a bummer). I sometimes feel like this whole site exists just so that about 20 of us die hard English language fans can communicate with each other... Another factor may very well be the issues Monolith ran into with shipping the previous Compendiums worldwide. They got a lot of hate and spite from a handful of malcontents who were (understandably) pissed off when they didn’t get their copies of the first Compendium - due to cheap and spotty shipping methods. Some people even called them cheaters and thieves! Yet another issue, is the licensing beef that Monolith has run into with Cabinet regarding Conan, and the resulting question about when (and if) Monolith will ever provide new Conan material via KickStarter. Add all that to the fact that Monolith is a business, and needs to generate revenue to stay viable. Hence, their focus on other games. I think that an English translation of Compendium 2 is probably number 286 on their to-do list... 2
Matt John S Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I'll say this, I intend to find out what's up with the compendiums. As far as I know it's close to finished. I edited it a long time ago. I think the team is just very busy at the moment. Also, there is no licensing beef with Cabinet. Our partnership is strong and things are moving ahead. Don't worry, just do your best to be patient, though I know it's been a long time. I have personally been working on free-for-the-community projects to keep the game alive in the meantime (more to come, thanks to our stalwart community members). 10 1
Ol' Grumpy Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I look forward to the opportunity of getting both Compendium 2 and 3 in English when they are ready.I was a little sad to find out that there was no Conan v2 coming this year from Monolith ( maybe next year ? ),but at the same time,it will mean more funds being available for MB:Ragnarok when it drops onto KS. 1
garbetsp Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) I looked at the contents of the French Compendium 2 and did my best to translate into English: # Campaign Scenarios (p. 4-25) ## Introduction to the Campaign ## Prologue The Dream of Black Stone Wait Until We Speak! Night Expedition Thog and Thak The Nightmare Awakes Inevitable Destiny Bloody Foam The Great Sacrifice Between Two Worlds The Black Baton # Scenarios Bonus (pg 26-29) Terror on Ankartia Dream in Cloudy Water # Articles and Short Stories (pg 30-52) How to make a monster: Thog (step by step sculpture by Stephane N'Guyen) The Share of Fhote (short story by Not Quite Dead) Painting Guide: Thog (by Martin Grandbarbe) THS: from Adventure Mode to Versus Mode (by Fred Henry) Thog (by Pallantides) Edited March 2, 2019 by garbetsp missed some French 2
Epaka Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Good work @garbetsp, much appreciated. By Crom (slams a dagger into the table) we want the Compendiums in English! Hopefully Monolith can make this happen for us loyal fans. 1
garbetsp Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Being a rainy day, with my wife engaged in a project that requires silence in the house. I got curious and found the first scenario on the French site and translated. I hope I haven't angered the copyright gods. https://www.conan-scenarios.com/scenarioPage.php?MissionId=1405 Bon appetit. 1
garbetsp Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Here's the organization between them. Follow the branch of the winner. Dream of the Black Stone Heroes -> Wait Until We Speak! Heroes -> Thog and Thak (fin) Overlord -> The Nightmare Awakes (fin) Overlord -> Night Expedition Heroes -> Inevitable Destiny (fin) Overlord -> Bloody Froth Heros -> The Great Sacrifice (fin) Overlord -> Between Two Worlds (fin) If the heroes win the final of the campaign tree, congratulations! If the overlord wins the final of the tree, nothing seems to prevent this horrible creature from joining our world. Once done play 'The Black Baton' to complete the story.
