Jarkoon Adventures on Planet X!

[simonw]

The very rules light Sword & Planet rpg you've been waiting for is now out!

Astounding! Amazing! Incredible! Non-stop action using familiar rules! Who wants to read through reams of text just to get to the action? No-one right? These rules assume you know how to role play. They assume you know about “Golden Age” comic book space fantasy adventures. (Sword & Planet rules through a retro lens). They assume you know how OSR products work. There, it’s done. You know how to play already. Just get on with it. Ray guns set to kill! Flash! Bang! Zoom!

Go bag your copy now from RPGNow!
Print available shortly from LULU.

Thinking about making Jarkoon - Adventures on Planet X! into a full-blown rpg, with a more detailed world and extended monsters, maybe classes, skills etc. Thoughts anyone?

Klytus, I'm bored...

On the other hand. . .I'd be interested. More classes, more world background, more monsters, why not? But I've never been a fan of adding separate skills to OSR games (as opposed to whatever skill set a particular class has). Maybe just make skills an option for those who want them?

That's helpful. Tell me why...

It's a Flash Gordon reference. I was making a joke.

I have now combined the adventure The Princess and the Green Men with the core rulebook and added a few bits of additional material (extra Astrologer devices, a new class). So, if you haven't received an email from Drivethru, pop along and you should be able to download a copy with the new stuff in. I've also been working on a map of Jarkoon, trying to do it in the style of the original Thanator/Callisto and Lemuria as drawn by Lin Carter. More adventures to follow!
