What does Adventurer Conqueror King System Barbarian Conquerors of Kanahu offer?
Adventurer Conqueror King System Barbarian Conquerors of Kanahu offers a lot of features that make it a valuable addition to your ACKS game or any other fantasy game. Some of these features are:
- The world of Kanahu is a world where dinosaurs, cthulhoid creatures, giant insects, mad wizards, muscular barbarians, and alien invaders coexist. The world is divided into four continents: Kanahu, the main continent, where the adventures take place; Zalutu, the eastern continent, where the ruins of an alien civilization are found; Nalutu, the western continent, where the wild lands of the barbarians are located; and Kalutu, the southern continent, where the dark lands of the undead are located.
- The product presents three new interconnected systems that cover the various aspects of military campaigns in a pulp fantasy world: a quick mass combat system for use in any role-playing game that uses concepts like hit points and armor class; a complete campaign toolkit for use in ongoing games, fully compatible with the Adventurer Conqueror King System rules for mercenaries, fortresses, magic, and government; and a fast-playing tactical wargame derived from these systems, so that playing a battle generates similar results to those that would be obtained if it were fought on an individual scale.
- The product introduces four new types of mage, each of which uses magic in new and interesting ways: the dwarven earthforgers, who inherit an ancient tradition that makes them draw on the divine spark present in all creation to power their magic; the gnomish alchemists, who are experimenters whose potions range from “useful and safe” to “incredibly poisonous”; the terran engineers, who are scientists and builders from another age, whose inventions and modifications certainly appear magical to most non-technological societies; and the warlords, who draw energy from the chaos of battle, commanding it with their tactics and leadership to ensure their side wins.
- The product contains over 60 new monsters, including dinosaurs, cthulhoid creatures, giant insects, mad wizards, muscular barbarians, and alien invaders. Some examples of monsters are: the tyrannosaurus rex, the king of carnivorous dinosaurs; the shoggoth, a shapeless mass of protoplasm with eyes and mouths; the giant mantis, an insect predator as big as a horse; the cultist of primordial chaos, a mad wizard who worships the forces of chaos; the sunset warrior, a muscular barbarian who fights with laser swords; and the gray visitor, an alien invader with psychic powers.
- The product provides the rules for alien technology, with dozens of alien artifacts. You can learn to use alien artifacts by conducting researches, experimenting on the field, learning from a teacher, or using alien knowledge. If you master scientific magic, you can arm yourself with fusion launchers, laser swords, and force field belts; pilot flying saucers, hoverbikes, or battle tanks; reprogram robots to serve you; and even learn the secrets of cloning and resurrection.
