July SNSO: Super Science Fantasy!

Summer is finally here! We're whisking all heroes off to far off worlds ruled by super science, swords and sorcery...

Choose between two incredible science-fantasy adventures: The wild and woolly heroics of Martian warlords circa 1863 or the larger-than-life planetary fantasy of Masters of Umdaar!

JOHN CARTER OF MARS

It's time for adventure on Barsoom, the dying Red Planet of the fabled John Carter and Dejah Thoris, Red and Green Martians, and flying warships! This awesome new RPG is based on the ground-breaking writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

SYNOPSIS:
Jal Had, the terrible Jed (leader) of the northern Red Martian city of Amhor has been overthrown by a mysterious blue-clad gang of mercenaries and assassins, and the city is in chaos! In the distant Twin Cities of Helium, an exiled relative of Jal Had has stepped forward to re-take the throne of Amhor.  YOU are part of the small band of warriors, rogues, and adventurers she has recruited to help retake the city!
