Book Review - “The Savage Tales Of Solomon Kane” by Robert E. Howard
March 27, 2009 by tcgames · Leave a Comment
Solomon Kane is one of Robert E. Howard’s most enigmatic characters. First appearing in 1928, there were nine short stories, three poems and four fragments written by Howard about the dour-faced Puritan avenger. All of these woks appear in “The Savage Tales Of Solomon Kane” by Robert E. Howard. This edition contains all of Howard’s published work on Kane, as well as the known fragments that were never completed. Also included is a dedication to Robert E. Howard by H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft admired Howard as a writer and as a man. Through their correspondence, they shared their ideas and experiences with each other, forming a friendship that lasted until Howard’s death in 1936.
Some of the Kane stories are much darker than others, but they all share the same dark mood, symbolic of Kane’s time. Taking place sometime during the late 16th, early 17th centuries, the stories follow the Puritan avenger all over the globe. From England, Africa, Cathay, and beyond, Kane travels the world and goes where fate leads him, one day at a time. Read more
SciFi Channel Developing ‘The Phantom’
March 23, 2009 by tcgames · Leave a Comment
SuperheroHype.com has an interesting news bit about “SyFy” producing a new ‘Phantom’. I happen to like the pulp character so I hope they do it well.
The Hollywood Reporter says that SCI FI Channel (soon to be Syfy) has greenlit a fresh take on the comic book “The Phantom.” The project will be a four-hour movie from production company RHI Entertainment. “The Phantom” will be under consideration for a series order contingent on drawing a large enough audience.
“The Phantom” has been adapted a few times without much success, but Halmi said the previous stumbles are a good reason to try again. “That there hasn’t been a successful ‘Phantom’ leaves the door wide open for us, since nobody has made it their own yet,” Halmi said. “The Phantom” is expected to hit the channel next year.
‘Mars’ For The Savage Worlds RPG From Adamant Entertainment
I’ve been waiting for this to come out for Savage Worlds, and as I’m not a fan of d20, this is great news. Releasing March 9th, exclusively through Adamant’s website, with distribution to game stores later this year.
Welcome to Mars!
Not Mars as it is - airless, most likely lifeless, with only the faintest hints of what might have once been a damp, if not necessarily lush and living, world billions of years in the past. No, this is Mars as it should be and as it was once imagined to be - an ancient, dying, but not yet dead world, a world where a vast canal network reaches from pole to pole, bringing water and life to vast and fantastic cities.
A Mars where albino apes run a vast empire in the last surviving jungle, a world where warrior tribes of Green Martians raid the outlying cities of the canal dwellers, a world where, in places dark and quiet and forgotten beneath the surface, ancient and terrible intellects plan dark and dire deeds.
It is a Mars of sky-corsairs, of duels with blade and blaster, of vile plots, fantastic inventions, daring rescues, arena battles, and spectacular stunts. It is a Mars where ancient cities can be discovered and their lost treasures plundered, a Mars where a trek across the dry sea bottoms can yield amazing discoveries, where terrible monsters roam the rocky wastes.
It is the Mars of pulp fiction and Saturday morning serials.
It is now yours.
The Sword-and-Planet genre comes to Savage Worlds! Adamant Entertainment will be releasing our setting of action, intrigue and adventure beneath the Moons of Mars — previously only available for d20 — in a brand-new edition for Savage Worlds.

Note: I am not affiliated with Triple Ace Games in any way. I am trying to spread the word about their adventures for the Savage Worlds RPG game system and Savage Worlds itself. I think that Savage Worlds is a far superior RPG system than most out there.
