It will often be important to know the general political landscape and where things lie in relation to certain events, but exact time-keeping and strict timelines are less vital than in some settings.ĭespite this, there are significant periods, events, and developments in the Barsoom novels. In a John Carter of Mars campaign, similarly long periods of time may pass and it is of limited utility to adhere to a strict timeline. Even during some stories weeks, months, or even a year or more will be done away with in a few lines of text, with time passing in leaps and bounds before returning to some crisis or significant action. This is illustrated in Burroughs’ work, as Carter and other characters often spend long periods of time between events detailed in the novels. Months or even years may pass between significant events, during which time things do not change much.
The races of Barsoom live for centuries and lead lives that require them to focus on the present instead of dwelling on past events or future possibilities. The RPG is designed to cope with the various eras covered by Burroughs. Modiphius have had great Kickstarter success and there’s no reason to imagine the John Carter RPG will be late. If the Kickstarter launches on schedule then the campaign will go live on Tuesday 9th Jan. Players will be able to create their own PCs or play as John Carter, princess Dejah Thoris or the fearsome Thark Tars Tarkas. The British publisher has worked with the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs and with Scott Tracy Griffin, a leading scholar of the author and Barsoom to make sure the game feels right.
