Onyx Path Publishing has a new roleplaying system release and, interestingly enough, it isn’t a World of Darkness release. Fans of swashbucking science fiction adventure in the vein of John Carter will be pleased to see Cavaliers of Mars has arrived. The 236 oage corebook is available right now in PDF for $19.99 at DriveThruRPG.
From Onyx Path:
Return now to dying Mars in its last age of glory. A world of flashing swords and choking sands, of winking courtesans and lantern-lit canal cities. Mars, where romance and heartbreak are two sides of the same obsidian chit.
Where lost cities are buried in the dunes, and dry oceans stretch out between the last daring bastions of civilization. Where the First Martians, the monument-builders, are but a faded memory. And the Red Martians have become decadent and capricious in their last days.
Find yourself digging for someone else’s treasure in the lost tombs of Chiaro, or spitting defiance at the Roundhead priests of wild Ziggur, or dashing across the towered crypts of Vance with your long-lost lover. Lock steel with the Princess Invincible, even as your hand reaches towards your flintlaser for insurance.
Cavaliers of Mars includes:
- A vibrant setting with cultures, careers, characters, and dozens of locations, all organized to get you right into the world of Mars!
- An all-new system combining your character’s motivations, history, and beliefs with strategic swashbuckling action!
- Astrology, crafting, psychic powers, and much more!
