OD&D Barsoom... FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!
« on: 28 September 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?  ;)

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.

I would have thought this would be on the VSF board.

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.
