December 18, 2018 by brennon
Modiphius has now released the Digital Core Rulebook for those wanting to get stuck into some role-playing in the world of John Carter Of Mars.
The Core Rulebook is available through their webstore and contains...
- An overview of Barsoom and its peoples, perfect to introduce new players to the wondrous world of John Carter of Mars.
- Detailed chapters on Barsoomian technology, creatures and cultures.
- A new talent focused narrative variation of the 2d20 System including a step-by-step character generation system designed to create heroes from a variety of backgrounds and concepts.
- Create a wide variety of characters such as a Dashing Red Martian Duelist, a Brilliant First Born Scientist, a Savage Beastmaster, a Courageous Airship Officer, even Earthborn characters, so players can follow in the bounding footsteps of John Carter himself!
- A detailed narrator's section filled with information on how to run genre-and-setting appropriate campaigns, including information about the great and terrible secrets of Barsoom.
- Three eras of play based on the adventures of John Carter himself. Adventure during the Dotar Sojat era, or adventure during the time where Carter became a Prince of Helium and in the years after when he was believed dead, or fight alongside Carter and his allies during the later Jeddak of Jeddaks era.
- An introductory adventure, the Mind Merchants of Mars, to get players and narrators started on their adventures and immersed in the world of Barsoom
If you're interested in diving into this weird and wonderful world there's quite a lot of background there to get your head around. If the idea of splurging on the big book doesn't quite appeal just yet Modiphius do have a free Quickstart Set that you can go and check out.
I must admit that this Sci-Fi world isn't one that has really grabbed my attention but I'm sure that there are plenty of big fans of it out there. The 2D20 system seems to be a big winner for a lot of folks and having that powering this is certainly a big draw however.
Will you be giving this a go?

I liked the film the four armed aliens could make a good army.
I have always liked the John Carter of Mars books.
I enjoyed the movie and wish that Disney would have handled the budget better so it would have made money instead of being considered a bust.
I’ll be getting this game when it’s available in a book form that I can hold in my hands.
