What if H.G. Well’s War of the Worlds was the cause of The Great Disaster?

In the Final Days of the Ancients, Terra A.D. was invaded by creatures from the stars. They ravaged the planet, decimated humanity, and caused civilization’s downfall before succumbing to native bacteria and viruses. Millennia have passed, and the red weed and black smoke have returned. The giant metal tripods are said to walk again. Perhaps the Martians didn’t die off completely and instead lurk in the shadows, waiting until the time is right for another attempt at planetary conquest. And that time is now…

Martian Crawl Classics contains the “true” history of The Great Disaster at the hands of the Martian invaders! Included is information on the various Martian species you may encounter, their devastating war machines and weapons, a new Archaic Alignment and Character Class, and a 2nd-level mini-adventure where the Seekers encounter the beginnings of a new invasion!

Martian Crawl Classics is a campaign sourcebook compatible with the Mutant Crawl Classics Role-Playing Game (MCC RPG).

Martian Crawl Classics is a sourcebook for the Mutant Crawl Classics role-playing game from Goodman Games that asks, "What if H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds was the cause of MCC's Great Disaster?" This sourcebook runs with this premise, positing the the Martian invasion decimated mankind before the invaders died off due to susceptibility to Earth's bacteria. What would the remnants of society be like? What kind of twisted mutations would arise from exposure to the invader's Black Smoke and Red Weed? Do the Martian war machines still function? And did the Martians truly die off -- or are they merely hiding until the time is right for the Second Invasion?

The Martian centurions stand ready to conquer Terra A.D.!

Martian Crawl Classics is a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch zine with color cover (seen above) and black and white interior. Current plans are for a 24-page booklet, but it could grow past that point depending on artwork and additional materials. And speaking of materials, here's what's currently within:

• A description of the current state of the World of Martian Crawl Classics, combining elements from the original 1895 novel, the 1938 radio production, the classic 1953 sci-fi film, and other versions of the classic tale of otherworldly invasion!
• Several types of Martians, statted up and ready to continue the invasion! The tripod-piloting centurions, the preternatural overlords, and the savage hounds all vie to retake this new world!
• The Martian's terraforming Red Weed and poisonous Black Smoke have triggered even more mutations throughout Terra A.D.! And what twisted aberrants have evolved from these genetic poisons?
• Martian equipment to scavenge! Will your Seekers be able to wield the otherworldly Death Ray or learn to pilot one of the massive tripods?
• A mini-adventure placing the Seekers on the front lines of The Second War of the Worlds!
• And that's just for starters! There will likely be more material added as the campaign continues, so stay tuned for details...

They say the Martian tripods still roam parts of Terra A.D...
