Conan roleplaying game by Modiphius: it's started! #Conanrpg #Modiphius

After a wait of many months, the Kickstarter of the Conan roleplaying game by Modiphius Games was on since February the 17th of 2016. It got financed in a few hours at 45,000£, and finished at 436,755£ (that's the fourth roleplaying game which earned the most on Kickstarter. For those in the know, it beat Numenera and Call of Cthulhu 7th edition)! Were unlocked during the campaign:

- The core book, 368 color pages, harback with a cover illustrated by Brom. Are also already unlocked more illustrations.

- A first supplement, Conan the Thief, 112 color pages, hardback (which will be the format of all supplements except when noted) : covers the Zamora, Brythunia, Corinthia, and Nemedia countries. As the name indicates, the supplement will focus on campaigns for thieves.

- 16 set tiles, "Perilous Ruins & Forgotten Cities". The roleplaying game doesn't require them absolutely. They could be used for the Conan boardgame by Monolith.

- Every 100,000£ will be unlocked "Blessings of Mitra", the first one being a map of the Hyborian world, featuring only nations described by Robert E. Howard in the Conan stories.
