Warriors of the Red Planet

Warriors of the Red Planet






RPG Mini Review

Rating: Excellent

Value for Money: Excellent

Authors: Al Krombach & Thomas Denmark

Mechanics: Retro 0ed D&D through the lens of the Sword and Planet genre. Class based, attribute stats, retro combat. Some specialized ship combat.

Complexity: Low-Medium 

Summary: This wonderful and accessible complete RPG captures the feeling of the Sword and Planet genre of Edgar Rice Boroughs "Princess of Mars" and other novels set in a fantastic mars. Warriors of the Red Planet has 124 pages which are jammed packed with ideas, random generators, monsters, equipment, flying ships, and tools. If all roleplaying games gave use as much content as Al Krombach & Thomas Denmark did the hobby would be 100% better for new and old players. Truly remarkable in its scope and the tools it provides. If your players wander the desert wastes of Barsoom (mars) there is a generator for that.  What is in the ruined city? They have a generator for that. What is that super science thing I have? They have a generator for that. What is that weird monster? They have a generator for that. Great tools for you to play in the assumed setting or you can build your own. I ran a campaign and it was a blast. I recommend it. Really buy the game it is worth every penny.
