Barbarians of Lemuria

Hi. I'm totally new to all of this, although I have been watching the posts and getting new role-playing ideas from many of you - mainly some of the GM-less rules and so on. Thanks guys.
Anyhow, I have written tons of rules in the past and a couple of them were published some years back in Valkyrie magazine (Babewatch the RPG and Lashings of Ginger Beer the RPG). I,ve decided to publish these on the web and to this end have just made a very amateurish attempt and setting up my own website to eventually put all of my games there.
Anyhow, Barbarians of Lemuria is the one I plan to get finished first (it is finished on paper - but I need to get it typed up. Have a look at the premise for the game. mysite.freeserve.com/BeyondBeliefRPGs.
Anyhow, when I have more or when I need some ideas i'll be back.

I will look at the rules in more depth when I have some time, but one suggestion: the text on all the pages but the WWII game's is hard ot read because of the textured background -- I would change it.

Thanks for that. I'll look at it again. As I said, this is my first attempt at anything remotely technical on here or anywhere! It will improve, I hope. Anyhow, I will get the rules typed up asap. (I am a one-finger typer!) The address should have been http://mysite.freeserve.com/BeyondBeliefRPGs

Lashings of Ginger Beer is one of my all-time fave micro-rpg's, well that I've read at least given that I've not played it. But I thought it was cool.

Gideon,

good to see those games will be making an appearance on the Web. I have fond memories of the Valkyrie mini-rpgs.

EDIT: Oh, for inspiration for Barbarians of Lemuria, check out Ron's Sorcerer and Sword.
