I wrote an adventure for Warriors of the Red Planet to run at Big Bad Con over the weekend. It was a good time, the players - as players tend to do - did unexpected and very clever things. The adventure was designed "sandbox" style, not as a railroad. So it is more like an adventure location, than a linear adventure. Though it does have a series of events that happen roughly in order. There are some Lovecraftian influences, quite a bit of Gygax (Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun to be exact), and of course plenty of Burroughs. The player's managed to avoid the final encounter and the big aerial battle at the end I was planning on, so it ended about a half hour earlier then intended. I collected the playtest notes and am in the process of incorporating them, and tightening up the adventure all around.  |

Awesome. See you raised the price in the book. Well deserved. It was theft at 5 bucks.
Where will this adventure be published? I'd love to get my hands on it. Even a PDF would be great.

Thomden, so you know, I posted the cover picture on G+. Got 2 reshares and half dozen likes. Not a huge amount, enough to offer it somewhere. Every comment was positive. They like your work. Keep it up.

Finally ordered the rulebook, hoping to find "The Lost Vault of K'Ral" for sale soon.  |

It really is a great game, and the cover for that adventure is perfect!

While I've heard some great stuff about the game I was still on the fence about spending $20 sight unseen to buy it. Honestly, seeing the module cover is part of what put me over the top, so I really hope it's made availible soon.

So, been a year, any word on this adventure? Compatible with your new edition? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yeah, I've got some guys who are talking about wanting me to run some John Carter adventure and I'd love to get ahold of this one.

I do need to complete it especially with the new edition of WotRP out. Yes it's about 90% done I need to tie up the loose ends and get it out there. I'm going to commit to it being done in March. |

At long last the adventure is finished and available! It is pretty reliant on the Warriors of the Red Planet RPG, though with a little effort could be used with any of the D&D retro-clones out there. The printed book is here: Mechanized Men of Mars bookThe PDF is here: Mechanized Men of Mars PDFAnd so this isn't just a marketing post where I'm hawking a product, here is a Warriors of Mars inspired drawing I did I don't think I've posted online before, enjoy   |

Finally ordered the rulebook, hoping to find "The Lost Vault of K'Ral" for sale soon. And three years pass without this product.  ___________________________ EDIT: Never mind. I just realized that it's been released as "Mechanized Men of Mars." Or, at least I assume so. The covers are similar. |
