Geez, that's nearly all of the ones Burroughs wrote: At the Earth's Core (1914)
Pellucidar (1915)
Tanar of Pellucidar (1929)
Tarzan at the Earth's Core (1929)
Back to the Stone Age (1937)
Land of Terror (1944)
Savage Pellucidar (1963) These, however, are sequels by John Eric Holmes:
Mahars of Pellucidar (1976)
Red Axe of Pellucidar (1993) CC |

Those Aussies rock! Here is the last one of Burroughs' series, "Savage Pellucidar" online: link CC |
| Margites7 | 09 Jun 2006 4:45 a.m. PST |
Read the first page or so of Savage P. How would you model that plane!!? |
| Mysterioso | 09 Jun 2006 4:54 a.m. PST |
It seems to me that besides the need for Mahars (and there is a need), there is a need for Sagoths. As these are ERB "gorilla men", it seems a natural for the Eureka line. Many of us loved their PotA stuff when they were able to produce it. I have some of their Boiler Suit Apes and think they are nicely done. The space suit group also looks pretty good. If Eureka did some gorilla men with leather-like armor with stone tool and sword arm options, it seems like they would sell. Stone tools would cover Sagoths and swords would cover scenarios like the Burton PotA remake which visually was pretty good. |

I was drawing from the Dinosaur Doug film for my Sagoths…was planning on using some suitable orcs rather than going down the 'gorilla' route.
Also, being a fan of Tarzan Vs Predator at the Earths Core the graphic novel I'll be pulling my Copplestone Predators in for duty aswell…. |

Margetes, the aeroplane as described wouldn't fly, but it *is* close in description to an ultralight – basically a hang glider with an engine. Just turn the engine from vertical to horizontal. |
| Bob Runnicles | 09 Jun 2006 1:26 p.m. PST |
It's interesting to see some of those pictures and sketches and realise how accurate the Doug McClure/Peter Cushing movie was, at least as far as the Mahars go! |
| Space Monkey | 09 Jun 2006 1:55 p.m. PST |
I've long dreamed of doing some Pellucidar gaming… especially if we can go into the land of the shadow… or explore that floating world… I've never seen a miniature that would suit me as being like a Mahar though… |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Jun 2006 2:20 p.m. PST |
Didn't RAFM, Lance & Laser or someone come up with some pterosaur-looking figures? If so, I cannot find them now! CC |
| Zephyr1 | 09 Jun 2006 2:48 p.m. PST |
As far as gaming, you could always substitute winged monkeys for Mahars… ;) |
| Farstar | 09 Jun 2006 2:59 p.m. PST |
and Eureka already makes winged monkeys… |
| Mysterioso | 09 Jun 2006 5:58 p.m. PST |
Scheltrum Miniatures' Subterranean Tunnelling Machine VSF03 on link Seems like it would be spot on. Anyone own one and care to comment on how it looks when surrounded by figures? |
| Mysterioso | 09 Jun 2006 6:04 p.m. PST |
CC: I would suggest any post on Pellucidar (and other Lost World scenarios) be crossposted to VSF as well as Pulp. The pictures of the games they play always seem to boast at least one rubber dinosaur. I think they'd be into it and would be able to make contributions. Peachy |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Jun 2006 10:23 p.m. PST |
Peachy, I will inform Bill to cross-post there as well. In the future, if I forget to include them, make sure to let Bill know. I certainly do not want to exclude any potentially interested parties in the discussions. Thanks for pointing that out. CC |
| Space Monkey | 10 Jun 2006 9:54 a.m. PST |
I guess I just don't picture the Mahars as being anything like winged monkeys… winged monkeys are funny/whimsical… Mahars are scary/sinister…
I'm thinking something more like a humanoid-ish pteradactyl/pteranodon… |
| brain in a jar | 11 Jun 2006 7:49 a.m. PST |
RAFM high martians would maybe work? |
| Warrenss2 | 12 Jun 2006 6:03 p.m. PST |
@ Cacique Caribe (or anyone in the knowing…)-
I have all the following: At the Earth's Core (1914)
Pellucidar (1915)
Tanar of Pellucidar (1929)
Tarzan at the Earth's Core (1929)
Back to the Stone Age (1937)
Land of Terror (1944)
Savage Pellucidar (1963) John Eric Holmes:
Mahars of Pellucidar (1976) But I never heard of Red Axe of Pellucidar (1993)!!!!
Anyone have any ideas on where I could get this book?!?!?!? Thanks,
Warren |
| Mysterioso | 12 Jun 2006 7:24 p.m. PST |
Good Luck with Red Axe. Apparently, the ERB estate did not want it to come out and thus the long delay in publishing. Amazon does not have even one copy listed! |
| maxxon | 13 Jun 2006 1:34 a.m. PST |
Didn't ERB die in 1950? Did Savage Pellucidar really sit in his drawer for 13 years before publication, or did someone else finish it from notes/fragments? |
| tnjrp | 13 Jun 2006 3:48 a.m. PST |

I've planned out two different forces for Pellucidar gaming. One side with Mahars and Sagoths, and the other with David Innes and the Gilaks. Mahars will be RAFM High Martians, with tails modeled on in green stuff. Beaks too, if I'm feeling particularly ambitious. Sagoths will be Pulp Figures' Neanderthals, because that's the mental image I get of them — bulky, brutish creatures. I've heard speculation that stories of trolls, goblins and ogres stem from discoveries made in the dark ages of Neanderthal bones in caves. Gilaks will be modeled as Cro-Magnons, using Bronze Age Miniatures' generics with loincloths and hair sculpted on. Jeff Valent studios sells sprues of prehistoric weapons. David Innes will be made the same way, though he'll have a rifle in his hand. That'll probably be a project for next summer though. |

Hey, I forgot to mention the Air-Ship used in Pellucidar (the O-220 dirigible, in "Tarzan at the Earth's Core")! link

link By the way, this list is just a reminder of the books in the series . . . By ERB:
At the Earth's Core (1914)
Pellucidar (1915)
Tanar of Pellucidar (1929)
Tarzan at the Earth's Core (1929)
Back to the Stone Age (1937)
Land of Terror (1944)

Red Axe of Pellucidar (1993) Enjoy! CC |

(Damned Bug) CC, I have the first four volumes of Frazetta's work (I have heard it rumored that there were 12!?). Although common in "his" world, I do not find the like of his women in mine. "Is there, in truth, no beauty?"…. |
| Cacique Caribe | 13 Apr 2007 9:13 a.m. PST |
Bug strikes again. Merlin, Check through these listings. You might find a few Frazetta volumes you don't already have. fetchbook.info/frazetta.html CC |
| Servo3000 | 23 Apr 2007 1:17 p.m. PST |
Gutenberg even has "At the Earth's Core" in Esperanto, for the really hard "core" out there. Esperanto is equally comprehensible to Mahars, Sagoths, and Americans and should be more popular among wargamers; it is the Aggressor Language after all. Cf. FM 30-101-1. Shatner vivas! Cf. Incubus (1965). |
