Here is a link to Rattrap's Fantastic Worlds:

http://rattrapproductions.com/store/index.php?main_page=page_4

Note that the .45 Adventures family of rules uses d10 with various +/- to the roll for different character attributes. Savage Worlds uses very similar character attributes, but instead of +/- it uses different die sizes, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, much the way the die sizes are used in D&D. I've noticed that it seems very easy to translate character attributes betweeen the two systems. So it's not a bad idea to by both and mine them both for ideas.

Does any one know of some good rules for the ERB Barsoom milieu?
I have considered using AD&D 2nd ed, minus magic $ cetera.
But, are there any extant rules? Excepting the SPI 1979 game.
I use GASLIGHT.  In fact at Historicon 2012, we'll be running a 20-player Mars game using GASLIGHT.  For green Martians, I'm using the swamp mutants from Bronze Age Miniatures.

Funny, I don't recall the airship battles. Will have to dig them out again.

This is
KILLER!!!

THANX!

In true original D&D style, I wrote a supplement to that supplement here:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/38636721/Adventures-on-Mars

Note, however, that mine is only about 60% Barsoom, the rest is made from other period or near-period authors who did anything with Mars, including H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, C.S. Lewis, Robert A. Heinlein and H.G. Wells.

For small skirmish style games (might work for larger) I am thinking of tweaking Matakishi's Conan rules. Just add a dice bonus for the shooting, and perhaps a couple of dice extra on movement and close combat for John Carter and I think it would work.
