Jakob Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 So, is this teasing a new setting ...? H.G. Wells, okay - but "Worlds United" sounds like a Kurd Lasswitz spin on it ... Quote My RPG Blog: Swanosaurus - A Fierce and Beautiful Creature

Explicitly not "hard" sci-fi to out modern perspective (because 50s pulp). https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/designmechanism/tdm-in-q3-q4-let-s-talk-t2500.html Quote Worlds United: (Pulp SF, 128 pages, John Snead) - Rockets and Ray Guns in a pulp 1950s, with civilizations on Mars and Venus, and mining out in the asteroid belt Edited December 14, 2018 by g33k Quote C'es ne pas un .sig

John Carter, Doc Savage, Clarke Ashton Smith, Jack Vance, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, When Worlds Collide, both HG Wells and George Pal War of the Worlds, and much, much more. 3 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras

Dunno, but Vic Reeves definitely said that 89.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot. 1 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras
Jakob Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Nice ... I must confess that I'll probably give it a pass, since I have so much unplayed retro-sf already on m shelf - Space 1889, Rocket Age and now Odd Soot ... but still good to see that Mythras keeps expanding its scope.
