[QUOTE="Starglim, post: 3932345, member: 17011"] Skirmisher Publishing LLC announces the electronic (PDF) release of [I]Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars: Shadows of a Dying World[/I], written by Jim Clunie and the Skirmisher Development Group. Drawn from the Mars series of Edgar Rice Burroughs, this is the red planet not as it exists, but as astronomers and writers at the turn of the 20th century thought it might be. On this Mars, elegant city-states rise along the banks of world-spanning canals, luxurious airships ply the thin atmosphere, feisty princesses and feckless nobles are menaced by killers of the drear dried-up sea-beds, and skilled swordsmen defend the age-old edicts of dynasties that have ruled for aeons. Despite both wondrous technology and mysterious mental abilities developed beyond the comprehension of Earthlings, however, the most farsighted of the Martians know that the history of their world is drawing toward its end, and that its life-giving atmosphere and waterways are already sustained only by vast efforts of engineering. [I]Shadows of a Dying World[/I] presents the unique wonders and dangers posed by the weirdly sentient denizens of Burroughs' Mars. Creatures covered in [I]Shadows of a Dying World[/I] include the Apt, Banth, Calot, Corphal, Great White Ape, Green Martian, Kaldane, Rykor, Plant Man, Silian, Sith, Thoat, Ulsio, and Zitidar. Other features of this book include guidelines for using Burroughs' creatures in both Mars and non-Mars campaign settings, Martian random encounter tables, new Feats, the Class Defense Bonus combat option and original illustrations by artists Brendan Cass, Dragan Ćirić, Sharon Daugherty, William Hazzard II, and Geoff Weber. This download also includes [I]Combined Creature Creation[/I], a 52-page bonus document compiled and used during the creation of this book and provided as a useful tool for game masters. This rules in this book are based on the d20 system as it is presented in the revised 3rd edition of the fantasy SRD. This is a preview of a complete roleplaying game based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars setting that will provide core rules based on the latest edition of the d20 system that are adapted to this unique milieu, including classes, skills, feats, technological devices, psionic powers, and campaign setting information. [I]Shadows of a Dying World[/I] is available for $11.99 from Tuesday 11 December at [URL=http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=51403]RPGNow[/URL], [url=http://paizo.com/store/downloads/v5748btpy80t3]Paizo.com[/url], [URL=http://www.yourgamesnow.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1953&zenid=f207a565dad8892c53b5de912bfb0f42]Your Games Now[/URL] and [URL=http://www.amazon.com/Edgar-Rice-Burroughs-Mars-Sourcebook/dp/0977721191/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1197400357&sr=8-1]Amazon[/URL] .
