Great job as always Zach. I recall Dad wrote an article about rules for D&D on Barsoom, but abandoned it when he found out there was a Burroughs sanctioned game already. We still played his game at Gen con. It was a skirmish game with a thar and a black pirate verses a group of panthans. The group included a disguised prince and an assassin. Plant men and white apes appeared as well.
Those are awesome!
ReplyDeleteDo we know if the circa-1980 stats for these creatures survive?
Billy has a whole folder of material for the game. It may be the entire scenario, which would be amazing. He said he would scan it at some point.
ReplyDeleteWere these lost and found?
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
Sort of. I didn't know these drawings at all until this year. Holmes himself carefully saved them in a folder all of these years.
