This game, this system, actually blew me away. Wonderful game, great presentation, overall a 10++. I don't understand why there is an option for no damage on the damage dice (3 or 4), but I haven't been able to play it yet so I can't say that it's a bad thing. Best version of John Carter that could be made. Thank you, Modiphius and especially Virginia!
Great stuff! I am a huge fan of the Conan rpg and a bit of an armchair historian when it comes to all things pulpy. Just ordered the core book 2 days ago. Looking forward to bringing it to the table and recording my thoughts on the system on the QuestWise UA-cam channel soon!
Went in on the Kickstarter, and it is an amazing set. Going to be running a game soon!
Thanks for that great intro. I will be back here to watch your next episodes
I love the idea of taking soccer to mars.
Thank you so much for this run-through. I'm about the create my own original Serial. I used to role-play for many years in my teens and twenties and have moved off mostly to writing audio drama today, but as I write some great pulp audio, I wanted to return to Barsoom and try my hand at Narrating (DMing) again. Your session really helped me clarify some of the battle mechanics. I've got both Conan recently when you had that deal (want to get Star Trek when there's a deal as well), and I was an original backer of John Carter as all of this pulp goodness is everything I adore.
My episode is a little more "railroading" as the initial premise of the Serial needs by in from the Players, but as they will be all new to the world of Barsoom, and the Modiphius system, and I want this to be cinematic in it's scope and story, I think it will be warranted. Should we all agree to move forward, this first adventure will operate as a "gluing" opportunity for the characters to work as their own pack for more open-world adventures. I look forward to checking more, out and will happily send my Serial to you folks for fun if you're interested when I get it done. Cheers!
I hope you will make more JCoM videos. These examples of how to do combat and calculate damage are much better than the book.
enjoyed this thoroughly, well played, well run, beautiful setting
Its funny how many US created licenses Brits are rockin!
Awesome. I wish I could find someone in my area to play this with.
Great video. I love the game, this gave me insight into running it. I hope we get a "Paramedics of Barsoom" splat with stats for motorcycles.
That was a great first session and look forward to seeing more. I think with games like John Carter that don't necessarily fit into the usual genres we're used to in 2019, actual play is really useful as an example of how it's done; I find the idea of playing a character in Barsoom more daunting than Hyborea or other fantasy worlds, so this was great to see - you all made it look easy! The audio was fine overall, there was a noticeable echo when I began listening and it did seem slightly distracting, but by the end it didn't seem like anything significant at all.
My grandad introduced me to Jhon carter
Played a Demo game of this at the Uk Games Expo, absolutely loved it!
Don’t record in a room that has all hard surfaces. It makes the audio boomy and muddy. And run your file through a compressor so the loudness is consistent. This is painful to listen to - so I’m not going to.
I hear it fine! Too bad, you missed a cool first session
The discount code is not working as of 10pm CST Friday.
Was there a martian invasion happening that day?

The audio is really bad...
Not my experience
@@rcautela7405 Ignorance is bliss.
Does anybody know any John Carter fans who are screenwriters I’m trying to get a John Carter movie made
Is possible to play this solo?
John Carter of Mars is designed to play with a small group of people. You'd need at least one GM and one player.
Potentially, any RPG can be played solo i.e. one player running a few characters and no GM. You will need some form of an Oracle to answer yes/no type questions etc. Start with the Mythic GME (game master emulator) but there are many oracles out there.
Here's my list of solo engines (Oracles):
CRGE
UNE Universal NPC Emulator
BOLD Book of Legends & Deeds
ISC Inferential Scene Crafter
9Qs
Mythic GME
Minimal d6
Cthulhu Dark
Bivius Tunnels & Dungeons
Libre
Miso
Blade & Lockpick
Shane Ellswood well 2 things, First;sorry for the late response. Second: Thank you!!! I really want to play this game but sadly is just me, your response is very helpful!!! Thank you Shane!
Can the narrator also be a player or no?
Hi there. The GM is normally not playing a character, but they will get to play everyone else in the story!
Crappy audio
I can hear everything fine
"Can hear" can still be crappy.
@@RecklessFables good its not!
