I just read "Tarzan of the Apes"

Feel free to send feedback! If I didn't screw it up, my email address is at the bottom of every page at that site. That way we can also stop hijacking this wonderful thread on Tarzan; which hasn't been about Tarzan in way too long. Sorry, John Q.! You da man with that Almuric business! Let me know how you like it, too!

That's nice to know. Actually, I'd like to find someone with some military experience who could tell me if my movie and Tom Clancy esque hodge-podge of stuff there rings really false or if it's more or less OK. I did mention that was a first draft, right?.

I'm actually working on that now. I've read it through once. Now I'm adding comments. Can you take Word files?

In the next few days look for some romance and some planet. And a sword or two.

Excellent.

Sorry for what? Hijacking? Don't be silly

I really liked Almuric. I wasn't kidding about selling it to you for $0.50, though

Alright boys. You've convinced me. I need to read ERB. I am nearly done with Dumas so I start another author now. We have hundreds of ERB books in the library. So my question is "Where to start?" A little Tarzan and a little Mars. And sequences please!

Princess of Mars, if you want to get started on sword and planet.

Tarzan of the Apes if you want to read 20+ books back-to-back... They're nice and short... My favorites are Tarzan of the Apes, Son of Tarzan and Jungle Tales of Tarzan.

Just out of curiosity... what Dumas were you reading?

I started with The Three Musketeers, then Twenty Years After, then both volumes of the Viscomte de Brageleon (Ok I misspelled it) and am FINALLY on The Man in the Iron Mask.

Cool the library has 11 copied of Princess of Mars. I think I can find one to read

And they have Tarzan of the Apes. So I can start and end when I like with that one.

You can also get (legal) etexts of a lot of Burroughs stuff. Project Gutenberg, supplemented by their Australian organization has a lot of the Tarzan stuff and pretty much all of the Barsoom and Venus series, as well as tons of other one-shots and minor series.

I did that same marathon a couple of months ago. I didn't care for the Man in the Iron Mask so much...that was the first time I'd read that one. I think Twenty Years After is my favorite.

I really really want to do a 1600's GT campaign. Roundheads and cavaliers and crazy alchemists, etc etc.

Threadjack complete.

OH OH PBP? Pretty Please. Austin is such a commute

The Man in the Iron Mask has been OK so far (about 1/3 the way through). I did enjoy 20YA but the Viscomte I could barely finish. But I am glad I trudged through it to see the set up for Iron Mask.

I have a campaign about half-built based on the legends surrounding the Hope Diamond, with adventures set in the 1600's through 1980... but I'm trying to get this GT Conan PbP off the ground...

Anyway... I don't think I ever finished Viscomte, either. Or if I did, I don't remember much of it. Iron Mask got this wandery quality to the narrative about halfway through and never really recovered. I finished it, but wasn't too happy with it. The movie has one of the best trademark Musketeer scenes I've seen in a Musketeer movie, but other than that, it's pretty forgettable.

To come back on topic (sorta), is Harry Knowles' Princess of Mars movie ever going to get off the ground?
