Mars Returns?? Too good to be true??

[Screamwhip]

From Adamant's Website: "Our long-awaited roleplaying game of Planetary Romance, MARS, is under way again, and will be released in December!"

Is this really true? Or is outdated news from last year that was never changed?

 

[beverson]

No, that's definitely not old news...it's brand spanking new, and very good to hear!

I've been working on the layout today, in fact.

We'll have it out before Christmas.

 

[2WS-Steve]

Congrats! Looking forward to it.

Wheee! You've got at least one sale!

Make that three. Christmas is getting close. Are you still on schedule? Tell us a little about the mechanics like combat or give us the table of contents. Is it based on d20 Modern? Will it have a bestiary and gadgets section? Will there be other related Mars releases or web support?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Well, it looks as thought it's probably going to be bumped to January -- I'd rather make sure it's done right, rather than rush it out to meet the Christmas rush.

That said, to answer your questions:

1) based on d20 Modern (with bits of Open Content from sources like Mongoose's CONAN, especially in combat)

2) Yes, it has a Bestiary and a section on Strange Science

3) It will be a fully supported line.

You can grab the free preview (which includes an overview of several races, a sample advanced class and a full-color map) right here at the ENWorld Download Shop.

Woo Hoo! My christmas money is burning a hole in my pocket.

Fully supported? What are other material are you considering for the line? General is good if you cannot be specific.

Adventures, to begin with. Beyond that, we'll be listening to what the fans want.
