John Carter, Warlord of Mars (role-playing game)
John Carter, Warlord of Mars is a role-playing game published by Heritage Models, Inc. in 1978.
Description
John Carter, Warlord of Mars is a science-fantasy system based on Edgar Rice Burroughs's novels of Barsoom, a Mars ruled by various humanoid warrior races that fight with sword and gun.[1] Although it mainly consists of man-to-man combat rules for use with miniatures (as they were published to support a line of Barsoomian figures), it does include some rules for role-playing.[1]
Publication history
John Carter, Warlord of Mars was designed by Michael S. Matheny, with a cover by Russ Manning, and published by Heritage Models, Inc. in 1978 as a 64-page book.[1]
Reception
Lawrence Schick called the rules "poorly organized" and commented: "Players unfamiliar with the concepts of role-playing games would probably be unable to use them."[1]
