Metalzoic Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Really surprised there isn't already a topic about this or any updates posted to the KS pages. I'd have thought this would be big news Monolith would want to share with their fans. Monolith is taking the license from Modiphius and will be developing their own take on an Rpg. https://www.modiphius.net/blogs/news/conan-license-update Quote MONOLITH HANDED THE CONAN ROLEPLAYING GAME LINE FROM MODIPHIUS FOR NEW EXCITING ROLEPLAYING STORIES IN THE HYBORIAN AGE! “When we first started exploring Robert E. Howard’s world of Conan, little did we imagine the full expanse of what was to come. It’s been an incredible journey working with top Conan scholars, talented writers and artists who gave their all to dig deep into the Conan stories and bring them to life in a truly authentic way.” Said Chris Birch, Chief Creative Officer of Modiphius Entertainment. “Now with twenty beautiful hardback books to our name and numerous beautiful accessories, we are ready to call time on our journeys across Hyboria. We’ve reached the point where we feel like we have done justice to REH’s words, delivered some incredible Conan swords & sorcery gaming, and reached the ends of the Hyborian world in every direction we could imagine. It’s time to pass on the mantle to new hands who can tell a new story in the Hyborian age!” The roleplaying game line, under licence from Heroic Signatures (Formally Cabinet Entertainment), will end on Dec 31st, no more re-stocks are being ordered, and all stock will be sold by June 30th 2023. If you’ve been waiting to pick up one of the books, now is your chance, either from retail or from the US or UK-based webstores. Get them while you can! Matthew John, Conan Board Game Developer for Monolith added “For 8 years now, Conan, Heroic Signatures and Monolith have been treading the lands of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age, finding grand inspiration for our products. Our board game, which rallied tens of thousands of players, was soon joined by a great role-playing game, thanks to Modiphius, who did a fantastic job diving deep into this exciting setting. As fans, we’ll be forever grateful to Modiphius for their work and our collaborations on Conan. We’ve said it before, Howard's stories are part of Monolith’s DNA, and so we happily accepted Heroic Signatures’ offer to develop our own Conan roleplaying game–one we can infuse with our passion and unique creative vision. While we prepare our next Conan board game project, which will offer new, long-awaited features next year, we wanted to let fans know it is not the only Conan game we’re bringing to the table–or rather, your tables. So…Monolith will bring back the Conan board game, then an all-new role-playing game! And who knows–it’s certainly possible that our admiration for Robert E.Howard's work will lead us beyond the borders of the Hyborian Age. Stay tuned, Conan fans; we’re just getting started”.

MrE Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 This is excellent news... I was so hoping for a re-print of the board game. Missed out on it before, and it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Egan Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Amazing news! More Conan from Monolith! Super pumped by this. I missed out on the original Conan board game kickstarter, so would love the chance to get the exclusives and expansions. And the board game is so amazing, I can’t wait to see what Monolith do with the RPG license. My dream is that they create a solo RPG grand narrative campaign that would use the miniatures and maps of the board game. That would be awesome!
