It's about time all the sane people in this country united and took a strong stand against the fascist-ideology called "woke". Time to make them understand they are not welcome here. That being said, the government has neither right nor authority to punish people, in any way, for their political views. Any politician who cannot keep their own racial/ethnic views in check should be voted out of office. Israel has a right to exist. They don't have a right to extend their borders beyond what was granted. They certainly don't have the right to dispossess other people who were living there already. In this conflict, I don't support either side, because both sides are vile b@st@rds. If you don't support Russia's incursions into Ukraine or other Eastern European states; if you don't support China's incursions into other Asian states, then you shouldn't be supporting Israel's incursions into Palestine.

11:19 since this system uses ‘wounds’ don’t worry about low HP on a low roll from a d6. Inventory management is a part of the game. Leveling up might just need a few extra CON, or a PC might hire someone to carry everything so the PC can take on the wounds. 19:49 there’s a cool designer’s reasoning page on the last few pages talking about his design choices. (I know OP knows, but in case someone else is thinking about buying) But the reasons I bought it: random tables! Thanks for the vid!

Before the announcement by Monolith I was hoping Goodman Games would get the license and we'd have Conan for DCC. But alas, we just get this drek, complete with trigger warnings no less.

No need whatsoever to buy this. I've got everything and since they've released a draft of the revised PHB, this is an easy pass. I neither need or nor want renamed spells, monsters, etc. They could go to just giving straight XP instead of sticking with the old 1e method where you multiply by HP, but I don't think they've done that. Likewise, the stat blocks in their modules are trash, but they apparently feel no need to update those either.

I agree -- I think they just need to shorten their safety tools blather - which like DM Bludsworth said is the easiest fix. It's ok to mention it -- but yeah people get it -- they don't need to be reminded -- let's just move on and play. You can play Conan via the Robert E. Howard version (R-rated), Conan the Barbarian (1982) (PG), or Conan the Destroyer (1984) (G). Many ways to play Conan. All legit. Group just needs to agree on how they want to approach the game and go for it. I have read all of the Robert E. Howard Conan books and short stories (and fantastic!! stuff) although personally, I like the PG Conan the Barbarian (1982) version for TTRPG play. You can draw from all the source material from Howard and easily keep it 1982.

@@roon-sy8fz I don't accept "Bam Done" and neither do my players. Some have foraging and hunting skills, and they require skill checks (ie. they can fail), and failure can lead to other negative consequences. My players want to experience the world setting, not just teleport from one location to another. They want the risk of failure and the rewards of success. Not, "oh you look for it, here you go you have it". When they are in wilderness, they may be beset by a pack of wolves or a foraging brown bear. They may be on a boar hunt as part of a rite of passage. Bottom line is, if they are playing a Conan the Barbarian based game, a majority of their encounters in the wilderness will be animals, beasts, monsters, etc. I'm running a PG 13 table, for adults, not a rated G table with knock outs and characters get a boo boo. We're not playing 5E or My Little Pony.

@@DM_Bluddworth That's fine but those are self-imposed limitations as a GM, not anything intrinsic to the game. It's just bizarre to me to see a grown man trying to flex how hardcore he is because he has the "real" experience in his game. Like bro Conan is full of grape and other terrible things done to women, but I would be shocked if your position is to tell female players to just suck it up because of the value of the "real" game. Does a woman have to endure the description of marauders gang graping villagers the way a vegan might have to hear about a deer getting butchered or do you have hypocritical double standards? Its either all "real" and needs to be in there or you and those likeminded pull punches on certain themes and its more about your personal tastes than a solid rule.

I believe that Gencon did not give the Crit-Awards the boot because it was the right thing to do. I believe that GenCon had to. There are 38 states that has some form of State Anti-BDS Legislation. Indiana BDS bill passed in a 47-3 vote, the State Senate approved anti-BDS legislation on March 1, 2016. The House approved the legislation in January 2017. The law requires mandatory state divestment from any company that participates in, "the promotion of activities to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel,” including “territories controlled by the Jewish State of Israel.” The Indiana Convention Center is owned by the state. I'm glad they got kicked out. No place for crap like the Crit-Awards.

Great video as always! Knave looks like an interesting game. btw: 10 more days on the Castles & Crusades Reforged Kickstarter, was wondering if you might do a video on C&C before the kick starter ends? I just backed it at the $175 level. Only downside now is I'll have to wait till Dec 2024 for all that goodness. Already have all the C&C rule books or reprints (many, many times over) -- just backed it to support them. You've made a really good point on the C&C Whitebox (which I never thought of before) -- that it's kind of like a Beginner Box or Starter Set -- and even though they give away the 7th print of the PHB for free -- I really wish they would do a starter set. btw: Thanks to you I did buy the C&C white box (as a PDF) from DriveThru -- you are totally right it is simpler than the hardback rules -- although C&C is still a super simple game.
