"Are You a Barsoomian Gamer?" Topic

Do you game in the genre of John Carter on Mars, or any VSF gaming on Mars?

Nope

want to but havn't let

Oh, yes.

Have figures never gamed

got my green4 armed Martians need to do the Reds

Then game on

Theoretically I could, but so far I've kept my etherflyers on Earth.

Working on it but haven't enough to play yet, nor have I found a set of rules.

No

Mille fois yes.

Never!

Have rules, figures, even an RPG, just never expanded it properly.

Yes with the old Heritage John Carter figures & rules

Yes, plenty. We use VFS ( Valor, Steele and Flesh ) as our rule set for this any pulp games we do. Like all things Parroom Station, they are OOP.

No

I use some minis intended for it but the background does not appeal for gaming.

I have played in someone else's game.

I have Barsoomian figures and rules, but I balk as calling it Victorian Science Fiction. I for one could happily live the rest of my wargaming career without seeing another regiment of red tunics and pith helmets on reddish earth bases.

Be interested in playing but as for so of the above in someone else's game

No … but I do have some "Martian" terrain for my 6mm Sci-fi gaming …

Mars … link

I wish.

I have all the ingredients, including figures on my painting table, so yes, eventually.

I also have figures but never gamed. Old Heritage ones.

Yes. Greens versus reds.

Yes, in 15mm Hott, with other people's figs

Yes, sporadically since the late 70's when "Warriors of Mars & the "Barsoomian Battle Manual" were published & the Heritage minis were available. My interest was renewed with the discovery of the excellent Bronze Age minis for the genre. I've run several Barsoom Convention games; for rules I now use modified "Mordheim".

With Spurious Milius.

Yes

I would love to create some Barsoom HOTT armies. Have read the first 2 books and love the setting and the armies. As I am a 25mm gamer I would like to find a range that is good to use.
Heritage sounds good, but hard to find.

For those who have done Barsoom please post pics.

I'm curious to try a "Tripods" vs WW1 or WW2 tech game but that's the extent of my interest.

Nope.

A couple of times, more Space:1889

Gamed it a couple times back in the good ole days using Space 1889 "The Soldier's Companion."

I think I lean more towards Space:1889 than John Carter of Mars.

Recently played a couple of games with Martian Empires not-Tharks et al versus some Brits with landships courtesy of Chris Palmer, in 15/18mm.

First game was a Fistful of Lead variation, second Chris' G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T.

Others found both unbalanced; I had a smashing good time, whether winning or losing. ;->=

Our Barsoom is often 'tainted' by 1889 and other sources, to tell the truth.

John Carter figures in a terrain project a year back or so.

No

Working on the figs and Terrain for a Con next Sept. as a matter of fact . Will post some pics as I go !

Always wanted to be. I have a side project making Green Martians from Kroot plastics, which others have done before me.

I've roleplayed in the Space 1889 version of Mars, but we didn't use miniatures.

The closest I've got to minis-gaming it is buying the Martian Empires rulebook: actually painting minis, making terrain, or recruiting players for it on the "maybe someday" list.
