Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of

Overview

Conan 2d20 or "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of", is a low-magic, high-action, fantasy roleplaying game set millennia ago, in the Hyborian Age. Immersed in an exotic land, strewn with ancient ruins, Stygian jungles and frozen wastes - where the heroes are daring, the treasures fleeting and the horrors Lovecraftian. Magic is shunned (but present nonetheless) and sorcerers are vilified; their dark machinations and obscene rituals have earned them fearful reputations and, often as not, a swift burning at the stake.

Description

The players can create competent and cunning characters from the start (best done with the online character generator - below) and immerse themselves in the joy of battle, tactical play and clever use of the environment. Teamwork is strongly encourage via archetypal characters, powerful talents and the use of shared Momentum and Doom resources, that can be used to spectacular effect or perilous misadventure. 

System Overview & Key Features

Momentum and Doom points are shared resources that accumulate during action scenes and battles. They are spent to activate powerful talents and abilities, which allow the characters to perform outrageous feats and spectacular displays - or imperil them just when they thought they were safe.
Displays are a methods of intimidation, varying techniques that enable a character to demoralise their foes and strike fear into the hearts of man and beast alike. Win the war before it starts!
Wounds and healing mechanics that allow character to shrug off scrapes but still significantly suffer from serious injuries until healed.
Skills and talents related to them that cater for most possible situations and allow for daring escapades and mighty battles.

Chronicled is currently in active development, so features discussed or shown in screenshots may change. Chronicled takes a world you describe once, genre, tone, factions, whatever you've already got, and generates NPCs, enemies, items, faction lore, and portraits that actually sound like they belong to that world specifically. Everything comes with matching portrait art and gets filed automatically into a searchable archive, so fifty entries later it still reads like one consistent world instead of a pile of scattered notes. It's currently in a small, limited beta: free to try, no strings, I just want real feedback from people actually building worlds. /images/general-media/1785334936_hd27gUuS.webpGenerated Enemy Entry Links chronicled.world - Official website
