Is this a scenario based on the Warhammer(?) style games (you know, the ones with hundreds of rulebooks and varieties of dice and lots of little metal goblins with guns )
That flying ship seems to remind me of that genre.

It reminds me of "Master of the World" another Verne story. The Master had a combination airship/submarine/naval/land vehicle. The drawing somewhat fits that description.

I agree w/ Gothmog. I thought exactly the same thing. Master of the World is by far and large. my favorite Julio Verne novel. But now that I think of it, you're gonna use ToT, so who cares ... Wait, wait, wait! I was just kidding!

You're getting a bit warmer. If you look carefully at the picture, there is a clue which will narrow it down considerably.

The Barsoom novels, by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Sounds like a decent guess to me.

The voyage to the centre of the earth?
Jules Verne revisited, updated.

Or the voyage to the moon? A space scenario? That first pic could either be a sub or that spaceship (I didn't read the book unfortunately), and since "Mars" is a planet...

It looks very much like Verne anyway.

That's right, Tallincourt has it. It's Barsoom, based on the John Carter of Mars novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It has the romantic vision of the early sci-fi concept of Mars: ancient civilizations fighting over the resources of a dying planet.

Here's the title page. Congratulations, Tallincourt. Good guess, William, but you're disqualified.

OK, but it's a bit premature, I have lots of work to do. As for the "nudity", it is true that characters on Barsoom wore few clothes. However, my scenario will be tasteful and artistic. Besides, most people play them for the articles.

Here John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, defend themselves against barbarian Tharks (green martians) riding thoats and flying malagors.

So what exactly is the vehicle in the first picture? And what was the detail that was supposed to lead us to the right answer?

A martian ariel battleship. In the Barsoom novels, all major powers have fleets of airborne battleships, cruisers and personal flyers. In the drawing there are two moons; therefore Mars.

Well, that threw me off. Here was I thinking Phobos and Deimos to be a couple of misshapen blobs. Useless Astronomy classes...

Seriuosly though, I can't wait. Love this genre!

Those circles were moons?! I too was under the impression that Mars moons were potato shaped. Those Martians must have remodeled them for aesthetic reasons.
