The game's development started when Mongoose Publishing acquired the license for a Conan roleplaying game in 2003. In December 2003, the first printing was ready, and Mongoose published and distributed the game in January 2004. This first printing included an illustrated map of the Thurian continent during the Hyborian Age, painted by Spanish artist Jesús Barony. In August 2004, Mongoose released a reprint of the first edition, subtitled the Atlantean Edition,[2] and Barony's map was replaced by another map from American cartographer Clayton Bunce. Bunce's map also released in a folded poster format with the gamemaster's screen.
Mongoose published a second edition in 2007,[3] with numerous supplements compatible with both editions. In 2010, Mongoose dropped the license and canceled the entire line.
TranslationsEdit
During the game's run, the Atlantean Edition was translated into Spanish, in Spain, by the Spanish publishing house Edge Entertainment in 2005[4] and into French, in France, by the UbIK editor (based in Toulouse) in 2007.[5] In September 2008, both editors, the French UbIK and the Spanish Edge Entertainment, merged, but the French partner moved its headquarters from France to Spain and adopted the Spanish name as Edge Entertainment France.[6]
In 2006, the Atlantean Edition was also translated into Italian (as Conan il gioco di ruolo) by the publishing houses Stratelibri and Wyrd Edizioni.
