Great video! The Lion Men were also featured in the awesome Filmation cartoon of the early 1980s. Also, in 1995, artist Al Williamson did a phenomenal two-part Flash Gordon comic for Marvel that hearkened back to the original Raymond strips.

I got a copy and to me it's a campaign game with RPGesque features. It's one of those hybrid games from the very early days when the concept of RPG was not even defined. I always had a hunch that this was a game that existed before D&D in some form or another, but was then upgraded with some barebones RPG features to appeal to D&D players.

I could see it being based ib something like Tony Bath's Hyborian campaign than Lin Carter was playing with friends. The RPG mechanics are very loose, but the campaign mechanics are far more developed.

Great video! Where can i find the character sheet for this game? if exists...

[@ChristianLindke]

I've created two different character sheets to use. One that matches the feel of the old rule book and is thus in Courier New and one that I would use. They are on the bottom of my Substack article open.substack.com/pub/geekeratimedia/p/episode-172-flash-gordon-and-the?r=1gzmr&
