Planetary Romance Resources?

[Flynn]

Good Morning:

I'm seeking some good solid references in regards to roleplaying in the planetary romance/sword & planet genre. I have run a 16 month campaign in the genre before, but I realize that I did not do the best job I could in those regards, even though the players enjoyed the campaign. There are likely others in a similar boat who have not attempted to run a planetary romance game simply because they couldn't find good advice on the subject. I'm primarily looking for websites and Internet resources, but even books on the subject of roleplaying in this genre are welcome.

I want to create a webpage (that may eventually blossom into a website) that compiles a list of websites and other references that I can find to help GMs seeking information on how to run games in the planetary romance genre. Any assistance you can give me on this project would be appreciated.

With Warm Regards,
Flynn

There was a d20 minigame about the planetary romance sub-genre in one of the Polyhedron/Dungeon combo magazines. I don't recall the specific issue, but think it was probably in the 90s around the same time as the Shackled City adventure path. I think it was called Iron Lords of Jupiter. Hope that helps.

You should check out MARS: The Roleplaying Game of Planetary Romance from Adamant Entertainment.

Other good resources for planetary romances include Space HERO, GURPS Mars, and Space 1889.

Aside from specific games, is there any general advice out there to help with running these kinds of adventures/campaigns? I'm looking for stuff not tied to a specific gaming product, if possible.

With Regards,
Flynn
