Re: GURPS Conan returns
OMG! OMG! OMG!
Someone pinch me, I'm in shock. Does this mean there is a future possibility of 4th Edition GURPS Conan products? |

Re: GURPS Conan returns
It might but the fact that the license holders and SJG have chosen to reprint the 3e stuff instead says that nobody has the money to write them.

Re: GURPS Conan returns
Indeed. At a guess (and this is definitely a guess; I'm not an employee, I know no more about this that the rest of you, etc., etc.), I'd say that completely novel 4e material or a Conan 4e is exceptionally unlikely, a 4e conversion guide a la Will To Live is modestly more likely but I'm just not feeling it at the moment, and no new material whatsoever is most probable.

For my part, having discovered Howard's Conan stories as an adult (and only recently at that), I find that this type of adventure story is far better for ongoing RPG campaigns than the epic style of Tolkien and his imitators. There's far more to mine and campaigns don't naturally end when the GREAT EVIL is defeated (or wins -- all hail the Overlord!). It lends itself to the important but not world shattering, and even the purely local or personal. Can't wait to see these come out!

The Conan stories are all about a man seeking wealth and adventure, just as RPGs were in the beginning. |

Re: GURPS Conan returns
Why is the file so darn big? At 72.5 MB, this one is almost five times the size of the whole Basic Set. Scanning issues? Looking through my other few Classic GURPS items, only China, the first one to come out, approached this.

Re: GURPS Conan returns
My guess is that the book was scanned.

Re: GURPS Conan returns
Well, as my Gurps Conan was stolen years ago, this is good news.
