Steppelords of Mars / Caravans of Mars (Space 1889)

Rating:
Summary: Lacking
Review: Steppelords of Mars grants about 11 pages to detail the Steppe Martians of Nepenethes-Thoth, enough detail for rounding out NPC's and PC's. The rest degrades into a stilted adventure that needs a lot of tweaking to appeal to modern-day role-players. Still it has it moments.
Caravans of Mars is similar, giving some detailed information on the Eastern desert of the Aetheri/Elysium wastes and introduces several NPC's and the Shaman profession (about 4 1/2 , 4 & 4 pages respectively). The rest is an adventure with the characters travelling by caravan across the Eastern Desert. As with the other adventure, the adventure runs on rails and needs tweaking to make it more enjoyable. One of the best encounters is with Martian bush monkeys - they are cute & funny, but dangerous.
