Barsoom d20 / Slavelords of Cydonia

[MonsterMash]

Personally I'd pretty much use Iron Lords of Jupiter for a ruleset and look for books about Edgar Rice Burroughs for inspiration/art.

Good advice. Thanks.

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).

d00d -- go google for Frank Frazetta online art galleries; there's several out there, and you can't do better for ERB illustrations. He totally set the bar, and nobody yet has come close.

Hi.

...

...

What?

Oh, the uniform.

My swashbuckling cards are, er here.

JD has the right of it. Frank Frazetta is DA BARSOOM MAN. Ay carumba.

Read more Barsoom books! They're pulp-eriffic! You can get lots of them at Black Mask Online for FREE, which is way less than they're worth. And Iron Lords of Jupiter is plenty good, if you can find, but I'm waiting for Adamant's planetary romance book because it's gonna rock, if I know Adamant.

And I kinda do.

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

I got it in the mail today--a cheap eBay purchase. The picture is funny, but I haven't read the book.

Go Adamant!

Take a look at FFEs sundered reaches to use as a guide of what NOT to do.

If yours is as good as your swashbucking adventures, then we are in good hands.
