No, no!  It's true.  You're right.... I DID know him personally....  We used to game together with dice made from the bones of our enemies... 

Yeah, I think was one of AH's first customers back when Charlie Roberts came out with Tactics....When SPI showed up, I thought paradise had arrived on earth.

I just hope they will get the books atmosphere to the board! It will be great!

Awesome. As an oldster myself, I appreciate that we need to remember and acknowledge the history of our hobby.

All languages are being printed at the same time. You should check the FFG page for AoC to know the estimate arrival date for the product on the shelves.

Sadly (or not) I do not remember that orginal Conan solicitation, but I do remember a game being published in Ares called Barbarian Kings.

I have been reading the orginal REH Conan novels to get ready to play the new Conan board game however. :)

Ares #3 ... ah, good times! 

I think I'll go grab my copy now ...

Im rather suprised its not out yet as I have seen it at Spiel 2008 where it was demonstrated, only one copy though, so couldnt try it out unfortunately. Maybe they used the Nexus edition (italian version). It just looked so good already i didnt thought it was a prototype.

I also took a look at the Nexus site and they are a bit more specific about the release date then FFG (saying Spring 2009). Nexus tells us that Age of Conan will be released February 2009.

Thought Hammer is taking pre-orders for SUMMER 2009.

Summer? Aw man... February sounded much better :( .

never believe the release dates of shops.

btw FFG. when will we see the new update section?

As FFG usually are very forthcoming with info if you actually ask them directly I emailed them about the release date and got the answer "early March".

As for the upcoming products-section, it's apparently being worked on and should be up as soon as some technical kinks are ironed out.

Thanks for the update

March 2009 is not too bad.  I also have been waiting for this game for quite a while.   I have re-reading the ACE Conan books.   FFG site says Spring 2009 so March is early spring so I guess I can wait.

 "March" listings are beginning to appear at reliable retailers such as FunAgain and Thoughthammer. Usually a good sign.

TK, I look up to you...I was born in '72, but have been a Conan fan since about 1980!  I saw these great pieces of artwork, I am guessing they were Franzetta's or Boris'...and within a year or so of that I saw Arnold's movie.  That started it...
