This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

They provide a complete RPG and supplements whilst we wait for the new books, including convertible adventure material.

The Players Guide PDF is now up for preview. Though mostly a repeat of those parts of the rulebook that are relevant to the player, it does have some great new art including the cover.

I have to say having a svelte 140 page hardcover book with all the character stuff (except sorcery) and rules for play is a great table resource. It really shows that 2d20 isn't all that intimidating mechanically.

As a break down:
- character creation - 40 pages
- skills and talents - 40 pages
- equipment - 20 pages
- rules - 10 pages
- action scenes - 10 pages

Nice cheap alternative to having to buy multiple full copies for character creation and quick reference.

Got to say  picked the books up on the basis of this thread and glad I did, only flicked through so far but they look and read great. Won't unfortunately be running any time soon but will keep looking forward to new releases.

The Quickstart has now been updated as well. Its pretty much the same as before, but tidied up with the changes that happened through the process of finalising the corebook.

It is actually better than I hoped. It really helps strip back the massive rulebook and shows that the base system is pretty trim.

What's your experience of the system?

Won't be running this next but curious how it plays. May run a Kull game when that comes out.

I did a playtest here if you want to see.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

That was what made me give the system a second look after I was sold off it.

Have you had a chance to compare to the complete book to the QuickStart ?

Overall a great review and the entire thread was helpful, I'm definitely picking this game line up even if just as a resource for ideas

In what way? The Quickstart was updated last week to bring it in line with the corebook. They have also added some explanatory text that makes the more difficult concepts a little clear.

The adventure is not the best, but the ones in Jewelled Thrones of the Earth and the corebook are better, including one set in the Pictish Wilds.

That answers my question really, I looked at the QuickStart when it came out and wondered if it differed at all.

I have Jewelled Thrones of the Earth but won't run anything with this till after my planned Mythras game.

Where would you rank it as a game to run? Definitely, maybe or not at all?

I will definitely be running it. However, I haven't had enough table experience to say if it will be a regular. Regardless, the books have been a pleasure to read and good reference for Conan.
