Book Description
For the OGL System to be this wide reaching, it has to be codified and presented in a basic format stripped of all complications first. That is the purpose behind this book, the Mongoose Pocket Player's Handbook. In these pages, readers will find the system in its simplest form. Character creation and rules, the kernel for any role-playing system, dominate the first part of the text while the central theme for most games - combat - is given the middle of the book in great detail. The two most common exotic features of most games - magic and psychic phenomena - provide the last section and sum up this simple presentation of the OGL System.

Book Description
'Know, o prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars - Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyberborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.' The Second Edition of the wildly sucessful Conan roleplaying game revises and clarifies the existing rules, bringing in the best innovations and optional rules from the supplements, and offering new combat and tactical options for games masters and players, as well as crossover rules for the new Age of Conan wargame!
