​The core rulebook for Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of contains everything you’ll need to adventure in the world of Robert E. Howard’s hero, Conan. It is based entirely on the canonical Conan stories, and uses the 2D20 system developed by Modiphius and used in Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition, Infinity, John Carter, and other fine games. This tome presents character generation, the game’s rules, and a wealth of source material, including cultures, geography, religions, magic, gods, monsters, gamemastering advice, adventure seeds, and much more. This work has been developed by an all-star writing team, with close involvement by respected Robert E. Howard authorities, and is illustrated by world-renowned Conan artists. Full-color hardcover, 368 pages.

Subsequent books will describe the world in additional detail, presenting different styles of play from the phases of Conan’s saga... Thief, Barbarian, Mercenary, Pirate, the Unknown East, Brigand, Kingdoms of the South, Scout... and King.

Other books will explore sorcery, monsters and demons, nameless cults, secret societies and fighting orders, distant lands, ancient ruins, and lost cities. The game line will be supported with a wide range of ready-to-play adventures and campaigns spanning the breadth of Conan’s world.

Again I'm interested, however Modiphius must have a sourcebook for everything, so if you're a completionist you're forking out at least £300 in one go. And then there's the backlog of projects they must still be working through.

So far the only saving grace for myself is that Vincent Darlage is involved.

We're continuing our preparations for the Conan RPG Kickstarter and thought you would like some more information on what books you can expect. Here's the first of some previews - today we're looking at the main releases you can expect such as the core book, GM screen and 'Conqueror's edition'. See below for news of Conan Exiles!

You can pick up the Conan RPG Core Book PDF for just £15 / $21.50 or go for the Conan Core RPG Core Book Print & PDF at £30 / $43. We really tried to keep these prices down as we wanted as many people as possible to be able to get at least the core book. The hardcover core book will be between £35-£40 in retail once it launches. You will be getting the PDF's as soon as they're ready and we always send out chapters for preview so you can help spot any errors whilst we're also proof reading. We expect to be delivering quite quickly, but we're allowing plenty of time due to the big name artists involved so final PDF's are expected in June and shipments in July.

Things get interesting at £40 / $57.50 with the PDF Master - this is our classic pledge we have in all our kickstarters and gets you every single book in PDF unlocked in the Kickstarter. These typically run to 2000 or more pages and end up being worth over £150 / $200.

Want the core book and all the PDFS? Then pick the Print & PDF Master giving you the core book plus all the unlocked PDF's for just £60 / $86 - this is a hugely popular pledge with our Kickstarters. It also comes with the Blessings of Mitra which will be bonuses we unlock at every £100,000 raised in the Kickstarter and through social goals.

Generous GM gets you the Print & PDF Master plus 3 copies of the 112 page colour hardcover Player's Guide (which is content just for players drawn from the core book) for £80 / $115

The PDF Subscription is for those who want everything digital at £100 / $143 - not only does it get you all the books unlocked in PDF in the Kickstarter, it also gives you every PDF release for 2 years from the date we deliver the core book to you. PLUS you get PDF's of the four planned card decks and four sets of geomorphic adventures tiles as they are released. You'll be able to pick up an upgrage Add On to get this.



The Conqueror's Edition is the gorgeous collector's edition of the core book I've been talking about. Imagine that soft cover fine old bible your grandma kept in the side table. It flops over the palm of your hand as you open it, it will be the same high quality Arctic White paper with a gold edge and reading ribbon. The aged brown leather binding will be heat stamped with the Phoenix on the Sword design (you'll see that on the Kickstarter page). This comes with all the unlocked books in PDF, the Blessings of Mitra and will be a limited edition print run - £100 / $143. This will also be an Add On.

The Conqueror's Collection adds more to the above pledge. A llimited edition leather and canvas travel bag, suitable to carry the severed head of foe to dump at the feet of a king, heat stamped with the Phoenix on the Sword graphic, a limited edition leather Stygian Pit of Doom to roll your dice or keep the GM's Doom tokens. A set of speciality dice by Q-Workshop (2xd20's, 1 Hit Location d20, 6 x d6 Combat dice), a set of 36 stone Fortune and Doom Tokens, a 100cm x 70cm map of the Hyborian age printed in full colour on luxurious soft satin, something Conan might have thieved from a princess! All this for £250 / $360. This will also be an Add On.

If you crave notoriety, then look for the Lotus Dreams of Xuthal (£450 / $575 or the Visions of the Black Lotus (£500 / $720) which gets you a full page in a supplement or the core book respectively - a half page of art by one of our artist based on your concept, background story and NPC stats plus you'll get your characters as a custom playable character sheet and all the benefits of the Print & PDF Master. These are limited in number - just 10 for the core book at the moment (we may add a few more later on with plenty of notice for everyone), and 30 for the supplements (we'll open up more later if we fund a lot more books). This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be drawn in to a book alongside the most legendary line up of artists.

For the true collectors we have the Hoard of Yezdigerd - one of every book unlocked in Print & PDF including the Conqueror's Editions as well as the core book, and the PDF subscription for £300 / $430. In addition if we announce books in the stretch goals and they're not unlocked you will also get these in print. If we fund all the planned books it's worth over £660 at Kickstarter prices and around £800 / $1150 at retail prices

Finally we have the Secrets of Mount Yishma for £600 / $860 - it includes all the unlocked books in print as above, plus all the limited edition and other accessories offered - the contents of the Conqueror's Collection, card decks, geomorphic tiles, GM Screen, poster maps, dice and much more. The non-book items alone will be worth £360 so it will quickly become a treasure worthy of Conan!

There will be a first main shipment in July (core book, accessories, some core supplements and adventures, followed by two waves of shipping - Christmas (rest of the main supplements) and Spring 2017 (additional books funded) with PDF's arriving in your inbox as they're completed.

Modiphius wrote:Now let's take at look at the books you can expect beyond the illustrious core book and Conqueror's Edition! These are all beautiful 112 page full colour hardcover books with high quality Arctic White paper content (the same as Mutant: Year Zero if you have seen those books). We'll be working our way through these in order but we're also going to be splitting them up with some stunning geomorphic adventure tiles which feature similar movement spaces to Monolith's Conan boardgame (the Conan RPG does not use grid movement). We'll also be providing campaigns and short adventures by guest writers - more on those in the next update

Conan the Thief [Sourcebook] by Mark Finn
This sourcebook covers the countries of Nemedia, Brythunia, Corinthia, and especially Zamora, with a focus on using the City of Thieves as a base of operations for rogue-based campaigns. New thief-oriented character options and lifepaths are provided, and gamemaster advice for a "Way of Thieves" adventures or campaigns. Famous thieves such as Taurus and Shevatas are described, and heroes can rub shoulders with thugs and rogues in the Rat's Den, the worst tavern in all of Corinthia!

Conan the Barbarian [Sourcebook] by Jason Durall
From the wintry lands of Asgard and Vanaheim, to the rocky peaks of Hyperborea, and finally to the crags and hills of fog-bound Cimmeria, this sourcebook describes life for the barbarians of the Hyborian Age. Barbarian-themed lifepaths and character options are provided, and the terrifying gods of the north are described in all their grim glory. Heroes can drink mead along with Wulfhere or Horsa, and hear wild-eyed Old Gorm tell tales of the time he saw the frost giant's daughter.


Conan the Mercenary [Sourcebook] by Chris Lites
The "middle kingdoms" of the Hyborian world-Koth, Ophir, and Shem-are rife with conflict, defending their borders against enemies from within and without. Such conflict requires swords... and the hands to hold them. This sourcebook covers the path of the mercenary, those who would fight for others, in return for coin. Included are mercenary character options, including lifepaths and additional equipment, as well as expanded mass conflict rules.

Conan the Pirate [Sourcebook] by Jeb Boyt, Jesse Scoble and Anne Toole
Sail the red-dimmed seas as a reaver or explorer, seeking fortune on the farthest horizon. This sourcebook covers Argos and Zingara, the Pictish coastline, and the coasts of Shem, Stygia, Kush, and the Black Kingdoms, as well as the Barachan Islands and the Vilayet Sea. Join the Red Brotherhood or prove your mettle with the Zingaran Freebooters. Character options include pirate-themed lifepaths and options, as well as expanded ship combat rules and guidelines for ocean-going adventure.

Conan the Brigand [Sourcebook] by Timothy Brown and Chris Lites
In the land between the Hyborian lands and the Vilayet Sea are the minor kingdoms of Khoraja and Khauran, and beyond even those is the ever-expanding Turan, whose armies are the greatest in all the world. This sourcebook covers the life of those who dwell in the wild, brigands such as the kozaki. Presented here are new brigand-themed character lifepaths and options, with gamemaster advice on running campaigns set in these rugged lands.

Conan of the Mysterious East [Sourcebook] by Timothy Brown
The lure of the East draws many adventurers beyond the Hyborian kingdoms, and this sourcebook provides information on those exotic kingdoms: Iranistan, Ghulistan, Kosala, Vendhya, and far-off Khitai. Haggle for lotus in the grand bazaars, fight alongside desert hillmen, and match wits with the sorcerers of the Black Circle! Provided are expanded options for characters from these lands, including new lifepaths, equipment, and even magic.

Conan in the Kingdoms of the South [Sourcebook] by Vincent Darlage
To many Hyborians, the kingdoms to the south-Kush, Keshan, Darfar, Punt, Zembabwei, and the Black Kingdoms-are but a myth, while serpent-haunted Stygia is an all-too-real nightmare. This sourcebook covers the lands south of the Styx River, describing their accursed sands, dense jungles, and broad savannahs and veldts. Players can take advantage of new southern and Stygian character options, including new lifepaths, and the darkest of Stygian sorcery!

Conan the Scout [Sourcebook] by Jeb Boyt and Jason Durall
Hard is the life for those who inhabit the border lands such as the Gunderland, the Westermarck, the Bossonian Marches, and the Border Kingdom, but these brave pioneers and scouts hold the wall between civilization and savagery. These rough lands breed doughty warriors, and this sourcebook covers player options and lifepath for frontier-based characters, providing gamemasters with guidance for scout-based campaigns.

Conan the King [Sourcebook] by Timothy Brown and Chris Lites
In the midst of the Hyborian continent are the most civilized of kingdoms, the culmination of human achievement in this forgotten age: Aquilonia, Poitain, Nemedia, and Koth. Here, heroes can learn the codes of chivalry, rise to the heights of nobility, and battle the most despicable of conspiracies! Player options for this sourcebook include noble lifepaths and options, and an expanded mass combat system covering king- or queen-level command.

Modiphius entertainment have announced a start date for their Conan rpg kickstarter, February 16th.

​The core rulebook for Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of contains everything you’ll need to adventure in the world of Robert E. Howard’s hero, Conan. It is based entirely on the canonical Conan stories, and uses the 2D20 system developed by Modiphius and used in Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition, Infinity, John Carter, and other fine games.

This work has been developed by an all-star writing team, with close involvement by respected Robert E. Howard authorities, and is illustrated by world-renowned Conan artists. Full-color hardcover, 368 pages.

Subsequent books will describe the world in additional detail, presenting different styles of play from the phases of Conan’s saga... Thief, Barbarian, Mercenary, Pirate, the Unknown East, Brigand, Kingdoms of the South, Scout... and King.

Other books will explore sorcery, monsters and demons, nameless cults, secret societies and fighting orders, distant lands, ancient ruins, and lost cities. The game line will be supported with a wide range of ready-to-play adventures and campaigns spanning the breadth of Conan’s world.

The artwork for the books is done by a team of industry veterans as well as newcomers, with acclaimed Conan artists such as Brom, Tim Truman, Estaban Maroto, Mark Schultz, Tomas Giorello, Sanjulian, and others... The cover is by Brom and all of the written and visual content is being signed off by Jeffrey Shanks, an award winning expert on Conan and Howard. The rules are based on Jay Little's 2D20 system that was created for Mutant Chronicles and has since been refined for Infinity and now Conan.

Modiphius are also working closely with Funcom (Conan MMO) and Monolith (Conan board game) to tie adventures and settings together.

Named for the fabled Book of Skelos from the Conan stories, this sourcebook is the definitive expansion to the sorcery and magic system presented in the core rulebook. It includes additional spells and rituals, alchemy, necromancy, enchantments, magic items and mighty artifacts, herbalism, potions and healing remedies, curses and blessings, lore-books and scrolls, ancient scripts, as well as supernatural creatures, events, and locations aplenty. Full-color hardcover, 112 pages.
