Actual Play Thursday - Post Apocalyptic Mars


So today one of my players calls me up & says,"Can we game this Thursday instead of Friday?" Why the hell not! The game ended last week with the players exploring the remains of a merc flyer that they had inadvertently ditched & sunk to the ground.
There were were some scout walkers of the "Invaders" around. The last thing that happened was them riding off into the Martian Sunset on the backs of giant lizards..
 This calls for a random encounter this week now doesn't it!
You can download Gulliver of Mars Here
So my players have been bugging me for 3 weeks solid if this is Barsoom? Does this have anything to do with John Carter? Does this atomic wasteland have to do with another Mars?
 Well it has to do with a Mars where the HG Wells Invaders really pushed things beyond.
 Where this meeting might have produced something shockingly different then what the tales speak of .

  1. Your last sentence answered my question. I was trying to figure out what system/mechanic you were using for this.

    1. Well 1st thanks very much for the comment. I've been working with Swords & Wizardry, Mutant Future, & Labyrinth Lord,etc.
      Crypts & things pushes lots of the buttons for my sword & sorcery thing. Lately I've been going through a very '70s vibe with my rpging habits. I feel that there's lots of Sword & Planet going on with Crypts & Things.
      There's lots & lots more to come Bill so Stay Tuned!
