Project Barsoom

[Pijlie]

I really like where this is going 

And you should clean the lens of your camera. That will really make a difference.

[Askellad]

You're right, my phone was dirty.

I have a question :
What rules can I used for Barsoom universe?
I want something like skirmish games but for the ships, the green men and the wildlife, I have no idea.
Someone can help?

If you are talking about a  skirmish level of a few figures a side I would suggest

 In her majesty's name, it's a VSF set,  it  simple, quick, has guides for  creation of weapons, armours, talents, creatures, etc and really may only need you to rename some of the weapons, armour, etc. I like because it allows you total control over building factions

Or

This is not a test, true this fallout/post-apoc rule set, but the core rules I feel would give a good skirmish game, true abit of set dressing his needed, but it does come with a very large bestiary

Or

Make your own that's what I am doing

Well, I put some thought into that same question

I use En Garde for the skirmishes. It is a swashbuckling ruleset from Osprey and very, very good. And cheap too. And let's face it: Barsoom is swashbuckling adventure through and through. You will find a review on my blog if you're curious.

I wrote adaptations especially for Barsoom: http://pijlieblog.blogspot.nl/2016/07/save-princess-barsoomian-style-en-garde.html

And played several very enjoyable scenarios with those rules: http://pijlieblog.blogspot.nl/2016/08/three-en-garde-scenarios-for-barsoom.html

On top of that I wrote skyship rules to use with En Garde and 28mm figures: Skyships of Barsoom http://pijlieblog.blogspot.nl/2015/03/the-barsoom-project-sky-ship-rules.html

Feel free to read and use them and ask any question you like. Barsoom is a dear project to me

[Askellad]

Wow WOw WOW !

Thanks you for your answers

But Pijlie, where do you find your thoats?

[Pijlie]

I bought them and most of my other Barsoomian figures from Bronze Age miniatures.

Bronze Age are GREAT figures! I would also recommend TinMan Miniatures - their princesses are PRICELESS!

Bronze Age and Tinman for certain. You used to be able to get a lot of useful models from Bob Charette's Paroom Station line but I don't think it's currently in production.

For rules I'm going to try The Men Who would be Kings with a few ideas & unit types borrowed from Dragon Rampant and maybe artillery from Pikeman's Lament.

[Askellad]

Bonjour Askellad,

Tout d'abord bravo pour tes conversions, il fallait penser à ces assemblages !

Je suis également intéressé par des escarmouches dans cet univers et niveau règles j'avais pensé à :
- In her majesty's name
- pulp alley
- savage core

Les 2 premières, je les ai achetées, lues mais n'y ai pas encore joué : la seconde serait à mon avis plus adaptée car plus "pulp". Toutes deux permettent de créer des bandes à sa convenance et d'utiliser des véhicules (pour pulp alley il faut acheter des suppléments pour avoir toutes les règles. En téléchargement ça ne revient pas très cher cependant...)
La 3eme devrait sortir prochainement chez lucid eye publications : lucid eye a sorti précédemment des figs d'hommes de néandertal, d'amazones d'atlantes,... races qui se rencontreront au centre de la Terre dans ce futur jeu. Comme l'univers est semblable à celui du cycle de pellucidar, du même Burroughs, j'ai espoir qu'il soit possible d'utiliser ces règles pour mars et de bricoler des bandes autres que celles proposées.

Pour les figurines, je les ai achetées chez tinman : elles sont fines et de très bonne qualité.
