  1. Those are awesome!

    Do we know if the circa-1980 stats for these creatures survive?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
