The inner walls of the canyon are lined with myriad caves, but none have ever explored them and lived to tell about it, first and foremost because nobody has ever successfully managed to conquer the strange, supernatural winds and descend into the canyon.</em><br /><br />When I finally had a party of adventures delve down through the caverns to the bottom of Ulvpust Canyon, they found Fenrir the Wolf sleeping there in a block of ice; this entity proceeded to teleport them to planet Ares, which was of course a faithful Barsoom analog. The latter half of the campaign was spent there, dealing with Tharks, Therns, Issus, the Eighth Ray, the Atmosphere Plant, and sundry other delves and mysteries. <br /><br />My players were all college kids at least five years younger than me and knew <em>nothing</em> of John Carter. A year after this campaign had ended, when the John Carter movie came out, everything finally clicked for them (sort of), and they took me aside to ask how in the heck I'd been able to base half a campaign on a movie that hadn't come out yet.John Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522143715905888511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-32704872669554115672020-09-22T22:14:48.941-04:002020-09-22T22:14:48.941-04:00One of these days, I really need to dive more deep...One of these days, I really need to dive more deeply into <i>Mythus</i>.

They were all just plain normal humans, but the influence is definitely there (also in the Mythus Magic book, as well).James Mishlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510782553325944558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-49802165493935620552020-09-22T18:47:57.219-04:002020-09-22T18:47:57.219-04:00Wow.
