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.

Most men in the Hyborian Age die nameless. A few take what they want with steel, wit, or something darker and carve their names into legend. I’m looking for 2–3 more players for a paid Play-by-Post Conan 2d20 campaign. The campaign will be tailored to the characters and their ambitions, wether that is plunder, power, revenge or something else entirely. Expect a tone based on Howard's stories. Actions matter, choices have consequences, and nothing is handed to you. Async but frequent pace (minimum of 1+ post per day), run on Discord and a virtual tabletop for maps etc. Fee is 10€/week

This is the weirdest dating site and I'm not sure why I was invited... At least you can see my pigtails in my PfP. Ahem...  I'm a creative, resourceful role-player with a questionable sense of humour. Heh, just kidding...  I'm particularly looking for Conan 2d20 games. I prefer low magic systems where intelligent roleplay counts.  I'd be interested in trying out a few other systems too (i.e. Draw Steel, PbtA, TOR and T2K) but I'm far too broke to pay for them. The best things in life are free... Like Valentine's Day, escaped madmen and STDs?  o.0

Hi  I live in Gran kommune, one hour north of Oslo in Norway.  I have been playing and GMing since the 1980s. I believe that i am a suportive player. I some times struggle with atttention, so I prefere shorter sessions, especially online.   My GM style is balanced, but with a tendencie for "Action bias". I am not strong on "tactical combat"  and optimal character-builds, and prefere creativity, rulings over rules and theater of the mind. (Even thogh I own four 3d printers and to much terrain and miniatures :) )  I prefere to run scenarioes and campeigns with some investigation, exploration and mystery over classic dungeon crawls.
