I've played a few sessions using Under the Moons of Zoon (http://artikid.altervista.org) and it's proper mint, the best S+P game I've played since Skyrealms of Jorune (with a GM-friendlier system than Tales of Garghentir) I like 'toolkit' settings where there's just enough description but it's not overwhelming.
weird science, psionics, beast men, flying lizard mounts, it's cushty !
What are your favourite S+P settings and why ?
I really enjoyed reading through Under the Moons of Zoon as well...seems like it would be very easy to dive in and play. Another setting I'd like to haul out one day is GURPS Planet of Adventure. A well-written book which captures the flavour of the original.
I wonder why S&P is such an under-used genre?

I've never run or played a Sword & Planet game, but I often thought about making my own setting for one. It would assuredly be a cheap ripoff of Barsoom, but it would be
my cheap ripoff of Barsoom.
Skaith, no questions.
The direct link at the top of the thread doesn't work for me, but if I start at http://artikid.altervista.org/ (http://artikid.altervista.org/) then click on What, I can get to the game.
I'm running a sword and planet thingy right now set on a way future earth.
Would Space: 1889 qualify as "S&P"? I've always had a warm spot in my heart for that game.
And, Under the Moons of Zoon was a nifty read, though I haven't seriously thought of putting it into play.
!i!
Thanks Elliott! :)
