What settings are you planning?

A good setting if you ask me as the source material is effectively limitless.

If it gets dull in any way, I might then drop in an alternative universe twist whereby the adverturers get hold of modern automatic weapons and sniper rifles That should result in some fun at Watrerloo!

Who said "Time Bandits"?

Probably run Berlin '61.

Or an update of the old XXVc setting TSR did back in the early 90s. Love that setting.

It's a little early to announce, but the next BRP project I'm working on should make you very happy.

How about multiple choice?
A) A John Carter RPG
B) An Edgar Rice Burroughs RPG,
C) A Pulp era RPG?
D) None of the above ( liar!)

It's actually closer to C or D.

Neither John Carter or ERB are really available for RPG licensing. Disney owns the rights to JC, Tarzan, and a few other properties in the ERB catalog (or so I have been informed) and they're not exactly cheap to work with.

Plus, the ERB estate is famous for overvaluing their IP when dealing with smaller licensees.

It is definitely pulpy, though, but more romantic in tone.

Ah, Sword & Planet. Nice.

It's not a genre that has been trod to death, either. In fact, such a book could be a nice source book for games like HERO, or Spirit of the Century, too.

Cool! Can't wait to learn more Jason!

I'm curious, how do either Disney or the ERB estate have any say as long as you limit the source material to that which is in the public domain? About half of the John Carter books are in the public domain in the US, as are several of the Tarzan books.

How many people remember the Trigan Empire? Especially those in the US. I've always liked the book of it I have that I got in the 70's.
