Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter of Mars" books were favorites of mine when I was in my teens. The are wild, pulpy, adventures set against colorful and imaginative worldbuilding; perfect teen fantasy material. They are also, in retrospect, basically white-savior stories full of sexism, colonialism, and racism that should have been more cringe to me, even back in the early 70s. But neither I, nor American society at large, were wise enough to see it at the time, or at least, to care.
Disney's 2012 movie "John Carter" scraped off a lot of the objectionable material while retaining the color and fun. It was less brutal and violent than the source material as well, but I didn't object. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. But it was an epic, legendary, VERY expensive flop.
Disney didn't get it, and somehow didn't know what to do with it. They chopped the title to the bland and undescriptive "John Carter," failed to promote it, and when they did promote it, did it VERY badly, causing it to play to mostly empty theaters and confused audiences. What could have been the next Star Wars was buried without a headstone.
Apparently, John Carter may back on screens soon, as an animated series, which I think is great. There will be some kind of preview at San Diego Comicon, but no word where or how this might be aired. I look forward with cautious anticipation.

#JohnCarterOfMars should arrive tomorrow (along with my new drive). I'm super excited; I have a wealth of new game stuff to read, and it feels so good after being so poor for so long.
Only problem: I really should have gotten the bifocals when I got my new glasses. Reading physical media has become difficult (but I still prefer it to PDF). Next year I'll probably fix that.

Speaking of classic Sci-fi, the first six John Carter of Mars stories are in the public domain. I’m kind of surprised there aren’t more indie RPGs for it.

“I understand that you belittle all sentiments of generosity and kindness, but I do not, and I can convince your most doughty warrior that these characteristics are not incompatible with an ability to fight.”

Day 6 of the #CharacterCreationChallenge and I made a Red Martian Adventuring Scientist for the #JohnCarterOfMars #TTRPG. This one was a little frustrating trying to follow the rules as written.
