OD&D Barsoom... FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!
« on: September 28, 2010, 03:41:17 AM »
This is so utterly cool, I am not sure I can control my reproductive organs.  If you like Original D&D, this is a MUST HAVE!

Glad you enjoyed, but I'm surprised at so few responses for something this cool.

Just what kind of nerdy old grognards are you people?  ;)

Looks pretty good, I'll be trying to incorporate some of this stuff into my campaign.

Thanks for posting it.

Glad to.  It also surprises me that this is the first time I have found D&D rules for Barsoom in print, even in a free pdf format.  The original D&D rules included Mars in their encounter tables, but never statted the creature, and from then to now this is the first effort I have found to do so.

Great find - I'll add it to my ERB/Barsoom list. :)

If you play LoTR/LoTOW you may find this site useful: http://web.mac.com/rorymh/Legends/Table_of_Contents.html  and there are a few ideas here: http://www.erblist.com/erbmania/tangor/fr3marsvenus.html if you want to roll your own.

Looks interesting so have saved it to enjoy later. I have those " warriors of Mars " miniature rules they are seemingly based on but have tried them and didn't really like them.

Is anyone else having problems accessing the PDF? If it's just my machine being wonky, well, fair enough, but I thought I'd see if anyone else is having problems before I start messing about with the system settings...

Damn! That means I've broken my computer somehow.

Or, oh good, I'm glad the site's not down - one of the two!

Thanks for checking it out TC, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

I've only just seen this - what a great find.

I have saved it as a complete file and will study it later.

Thank you.
