Kickstarter - JOHN CARTER OF MARS® THE AUDIO SERIES w/5e RPG & Woola Plush

An audio drama starring SEAN PATRICK FLANERY, TIM RUSS, BRUCE BOXLEITNER, and TOM BAKER with RPG, CDs, books, prints, and Woola plush!

Imagine my surprise when one of the creators behind the John Carter of Mars The Audio Series reached out to me to set up a potential appearance as a guest on one of the Wednesday night live streams. Then, imagine my further surprise when I found out there was a week left in the Kickstarter, and I had failed to schedule said appearance. Yep, the last few weeks have been… hectic in the Tenkar household.

Well, I’ll be backing the John Carter of Mars The Audio Series. Over the last few years, I’ve become hooked on audiobooks and audio dramas. It's my preferred method of consuming fiction these days.

Backer levels start at $25 for the audio series and go up from there.

John Carter, science fiction’s original and greatest hero, returns in a multi-cast audio drama starring Sean Patrick Flanery of Young Indiana Jones and The Boondock Saints in the title role, and co-starring Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager), Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5, TRON), and Tom Baker (Doctor Who).

We're also offering a role-playing game supplement compatible with both the Fifth Edition of the world's most popular RPG, OSR ("Old School Revival"), and Pathfinder Second Edition rules, a digital download of the audio drama, a double CD set with Frank Frazetta art, a foldable map of Barsoom, limited-edition novels published in English and native Barsoomian (Martian), and the first-ever plush of John Carter’s loyal companion, Woola™!

Bundle of Holding - John Carter of Mars

I missed the John Carter of Mars RPG Kickstarter a few years back, but I've heard good things from those who were backers. Now I have an affordable manner to play catch up ;)

The John Carter of Mars Starter Bundle at Bundle of Holding is 7.95. For about 25 bucks you can add in the Bonus Collection as detailed below.

Adventurer! We've resurrected our January 2021 John Carter of Mars Bundle featuring the John Carter of Mars tabletop roleplaying game from Modiphius Entertainment based on the Martian planetary romances of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Explore Barsoom as pilots, warriors, scientists, or one of the terrifying green Tharks. Create you own Barsoomian adventurers, or take on the great journeys as John Carter himself, Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, Thuvia of Ptarth, Carthoris of Helium, and the other heroes and heroines of the books. Using "Momentum," a streamlined pulp-action version of the Modiphius 2d20 system (Star Trek Adventures, Dune), you'll experience a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, of strange beasts and savage combat, where love, honor, and loyalty become the stuff of adventure.

For just US$7.95 you get all three titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $36) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete full-color 288-page John Carter of Mars core rulebook, the Narrator's Screen & Narrator's Kit, and the Barsoom and Korad Legacy Map & Travel Guide.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $24.96, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with six more titles worth an additional $72, including the Phantoms of Mars Campaign Guide; three "Era" supplements that describe different phases of the Martian sequence – Dotar Sojat Era, Jeddak of Jeddaks Era, and Prince of Helium Era – and two print-and-cut decks of artwork: the Landscapes and Locations Deck and the Characters and Tokens Deck.

Deal of the Day - John Carter of Mars Core Rulebook (2d20 System)

I don't have much - if any - experience with the 2d20 System, but a setting like that of John Carter of Mars may be just far enough off the beaten path for me to give it a look. 

Until tomorrow morning, the John Carter of Mars Core Rulebook is on sale for   4 bucks in PDF (down from 20).

Edgar Rice Burrough’s John Carter of Mars: Adventures on the Dying World of Barsoom transports you to the Red Planet of Barsoom, an arid, dying land of ancient civilizations and fearsome creatures. Begin your adventures of romance and heroism using a pulp-action inspired variant of the 2d20 System. Take on the role of heroes as you travel, battle, and romance your way across the wondrous and dangerous world of Barsoom. Play as John Carter, Princess Dejah Thoris, the fearsome Thark warrior Tars Tarkas – or create your own heroes from an exciting variety of options.
