Oh, gosh. I hope not. I love it!
EDIT: And I'm not saying that just to be contrary. I think they did a good job on trying to copy the feel of the rule books. I uploaded a slice of the FG and the Book just to give people an idea of where I'm coming from.
Of course, this is a matter of taste so I'm NOT trying to say that you're WRONG. Just that I don't feel the same way.

One of the store screenshots shows map packs, are those part of the purchase or unreleased extras?

Here's a short doc on some of the basic usage: https://nerdeyegames.com/files/fg/co...esetDoc1.6.pdf

Great stuff, thanks.
I also found a stream of the ruleset being used. Picked up some of the basics from this: https://youtu.be/saJl2_oO4Ek

I've already entered "The Pit of Kutallu" into it, it's easy and quick to enter npc's/monsters. So far I like it. I do admit to being spoiled with 5e's automations so it took me a few minutes to get used to how the npc's roll lol

Agree with you - it is matter of taste. If you look at the theme outside of the Conan 2d20 rulebooks that it is good, because it feels like the old Modiphius line where the yellow parchment was prevailing in the color books. It was not that intensive, but it still yellow. This shate is more suitable for Greek or Egyptian theme, rather than the more dull brownish palette that Modiphius came. Also the world of Conan has always been like that. They have re-used the assets from CoreRPG and only the PC,NPC sheets' frame is somehow special. It is not a problem, CoreRPG is good for Fantasy games, but I expected more work to be put here, especially after the community extensions are much more creative.
On the ruleset part... I find hard to justify 45 USD for lack of automation, CT play and this weird approach to NPC dice rolling. W was really excited and the wallet was ready. The community extensions are already providing more functionalities and quality of life improvements. The Difficulty rating buttons are nice for reporting, but I see no problem to make this math on the spot when playing. I will be following the evolution of this ruleset.Last edited by Valyar; April 22nd, 2020 at 05:50.
The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.

I have the Kickstarter PDF and some sourcebooks, is there a discount on the FG ruleset for us?
What ruleset were you using to run Conan/2d20 games before? Any shortcomings with character sheets or mechanics?
What is "CT play" and the weird approach to NPC dice rolling? Not that familiar with the system, haven't read the book, yet, as it hasn't been playable in FG AFAIK.Last edited by Magnimost; April 23rd, 2020 at 14:04.
