Title: Looking for Barsoom for Savage Worlds (I already have Red Sands)
Post by: gloriousbattle on December 23, 2011, 05:41:35 PM

The Space 1889 version of SW is quite nice, but I like Barsoom, and have a lot of minis for that period.

Does anyone have a set of (homegrown or not) rules for Barsoomian stuff for this system?

As always,  thanks.

The Savage Worlds setting "Mars" should be a pretty close fit.

Yep, Mars is pretty close to the Barsoom setting.

True, but I guess I'm looking for specifics, like rules for the 4 armed Green Martians of Barsoom, as opposed to the flying Green Martians of Space 1889, white apes, flyers, etc.

I think Mars has those.

Just had a look at my copy. It's a mix of a few settings, Barsoom, Moorcock, not particularly 1889. The green martians are like the Barsoom ones, however they only have two arms. Wouldn't be a difficult mod however.

There's a straight-up John Carter of Mars conversion of Savage Worlds here:

I see he champions Adamant's MARS; I've picked up quite a bit through various RPGNOW/Drivethrurrpg group and charity sales, but didn't get a Barsoom impression. I best dig back in...

Now, where is that flash stick???

Very nice indeed!  However, I wish he had put it in pdf/book form.  It is tedious to chase through a website to build your own book.
