I think it might be just about sufficient to just change the available proficiencies.

Sword & Shield, and Mass Weapons stay, rename Sabers to "Scimitars" for flavor. Spears are more about being throwable than melee reach in Sword & Sorcery, i think (nevermind that not every spear is a javelin)?

What proficiency would Conan use? He'd probably write down "Bastard Swords" on his own character sheet, but surely that's not just another name for Longsword.

I've followed TRoS for a number of years now, off and on - every so often I browse around to see if there's anything new or interesting from that game or its various follow-ons.... (I do this for a few RPGs; TRoS, et al, AD&D Birthright setting, 7th Sea, Star Wars, Mechwarrior, etc)

I happened to catch the announcement of the BETA release when I was doing one of those sweeps as the new edition of 7th Sea went onto Kickstarter. So, great timing on my part - I'm interested in seeing where this goes.
