Quote from: jeff37923;520911There used to be a website, now defunct, with a section called The Frilond Campaign that had Barsoomian 3.x conversions from old White Dwarf magazine articles. Pretty good stuff as I recall, I wish I had saved some of it.

Try the Way Back Machine.  I found Frilond there.  Can't find the Barsoom stuff, but I haven't searched thoroughly.  I did see some White Dwarf conversion work.

Edit:  the Barsoom critters are there.

Thank you!

Attached as PDFs are two John Carter critters.

Quote from: finarvyn;524292I believe that ERB also had two books based on the Moon (Moon Maid and Moon Men) and some of his Pelucidar / Hollow World stories overlapped with Tarzan. It wouldn't surprise me if he had intended to put 'em all into a single universe somehow.

In the Moon Maid (iirc, the first of the two stories), the set up is they contact Mars and John Carter, but the expedition to Mars crashes on the Moon instead. So those stories are from the future of the Mars books.

I'd probably run this using Unisystem myself (I ran something in the vein of a planetary romance using it once), though I'd also be tempted to use Two Fisted Tales

You are welcome and thanks for the greeting.  I found this forum when I googled Barsoom RPG, John Carter RPG, etc.

I mostly hang out at ENWorld for rpg stuff, but I'll get involved here too.  

Thanks again,
Rich

Cool, I lurk over at ENWorld mostly it's so large I get lost in there sometimes.

I pretty much confine my interaction there to the 'Legacy' Discussion which includes OD&D thru 3.5e.  I never made the leap to 4e.

Back to Barsoom and what I've found...

Others mentioned Adamant's Mars.  There is a free preview at RPG now for the D20 version:

http://www.rpgnow.com/product/29160/MARS-Free-Preview?it=1

I own the full version.  It's very well done, but not specifically the Barsoom we know from the books.  It works based on D20 Modern with the base classes being tied to the 6 attributes (Strong Hero, Fast Hero, etc.)  I've played some D20 Modern, D20 Future and Sidewinder Recoiled.  It works for some, but I prefer base classes like regular D&D: Fighter, Thief (showing my age)...er...Rogue, etc.  

Adamant also made 2 supplements for their D20 version: Minions of Mars and Slavers of Mars.  They also sell a Savage Worlds version of the game and have about 8 supplements to support that.  From what I can tell they are only producing new Mars stuff for Savage Worlds.  All of this is available at rpgnow.

Here is another at rpg now that does critters and the like from Barsoom and calls it ERB's Mars, again D20:

I have the above, but haven't read too much of it yet.

Dungeon (Issue 102 - Sep 2003) / Polyhedron (Issue 161) had the Iron Lords of Jupiter as a planetary romance set of D20 rules.  Haven't played it but it looks good.

I plan to run a D20 version of a Barsoom campaign for my kids.  Haven't completely decided, but I think I'll use D&D classes using the Unearthed Arcana variant for armor class and damage reduction to make it a bit more gritty.  

Thanks,
Rich

Yes, when I posted the next window said it needed approval (administrator or moderator, I don't remember which).  Can you do an approval?  

Thanks,

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.  Start a thread on the Help forum, and hopefully Brett (our tech mod) will be able to understand the problem.

Adament Entertainment did a Mars sourcebook for Savage Worlds. It's 'Barsoom but not' in the same way that D&D is 'Lord of the Rings but not'.

Well, I'll give it another try so I know I didn't do something wrong.
