Barsoom d20 / Slavelords of Cydonia

[scourger]

Has this ever been done? I have just finished A Princes of Mars on tape and am captivated. I found a Barsoom d20 product in development here:

http://www.wishlistgames.com/barsoom/main.htm

but I can't tell that it was finished.

Anyone got any leads?

How about Slavelords of Cydonia? How similar to Barsoom is it?

Thanks.

This Barsoom conversion was probably barely begun and quickly abandoned. There are only a couple of drawing on the webpage, and nothing else.

Slavelords of Cydonia isn't a conversion of Barsoom, but looks like it was inspired by a similar type of campaign idea. Frankly, I would suggest to go Slavelords rather than wait for this hypothetical Barsoom setting.

This might sound strange, but you could ask barsoomcore. He can be found in the Userlist

His swashbuckling cards are fun as well >

I've done some work towards a Barsoom d20 ruleset:
Barsoom

Check out Sean K. Reynolds' site also for a number of creatures.

I haven't heard anything recently from Wishlist Games on the Barsoom Gaming list. Slavelords of Cydonia doesn't sound much like Barsoom, but I'm looking forward to it in its own right.

Where can I find out more about these???

Thanks.

Adamant Entertainment is working on a d20 campaign setting that will be released in PDF in 2005, inspired by the planetary romances of Burroughs, Moorcock, etc....but I'm afraid it's just in the early stages now, so you'd have to wait a bit.

I'm interested, so I'll look for further information. I looked back over Iron Lords of Jupiter today. It looks pretty decent, but it is too light on the illustrations. Artwork is key since I tend to scan the pictures and make 3D counters for use as miniatures. What I would really like to see is a D&D d20 adventure sourcebook set on Barsoom (sort of like Mesopotamia--shorter on setting and longer on adventure).

Fast Forward Entertainment released a Barsoom-inspired d20 product called Sundered Reaches.

For that matter, you just may want to look into the old 2nd ed. setting, Dark Sun. It was significantly inspired by ERB's Barsoom.

Thanks for the nod to Sundered Reaches. It got reviews of 1 & 3 here, so I may pass. I'm also looking for something more like an illustrated adventure. But, maybe I'll check it out one day.

Sundered Reaches is worth owning for one reason: one of the best illustrations ever. It features a WW2 era GI lighting his cigarette off of a Jedi's lightsaber and is done by Jim Holloway, who did a lot of art in early D&D products (and the first version of Paranoia). The expression on the Jedi's face is priceless.

However, it's pretty much useless as a gaming supplement
