Pisces All Media have a couple of d20 products I'd like to put forward for consideration. Golden has been out for about two years now while Eternium is our newest rulebook (a new edition of Golden will be coming out for Christmas).
Golden is a d20 SRD system roleplaying game set in the 1920s onwards on a version of Earth where hero pulp characters and items are real and vital parts of the environment.
GOLDEN is a 240-page sourcebook providing a huge number (over 800) of new Feats as well as many NEGATIVE FEATS, Feats that are disadvantageous and allow extra Feat picks at character creation or later.
Although some of these Feats would certainly not add to the enjoyment of standard games, for any comicbook or pulp campaign they provide an unbeatable selection of themes and tropes with which to play literally ANY kind of game with true heroism and fantastic elements of adventure.
GOLDEN gives you what you need to make a 1920s (or later) superhero pulp character, normal pulp era character or just an alternative to other modern systems that is grounded much closer to the generic SRD rather than its later and less portable iterations.
GOLDEN also features some simple period maps of New York, in particular Manhattan Island and Brooklyn, as well as a comprehensive 100 year Pulp timeline which is perfect for cherrypicking adventure ideas from.
Eternium
ETERNIUM is the rulebook that provides modern era rules for the GOLDEN universe -- all the goodies from Steel Shadows plus much more -- robots, androids, space age vehicles, tons of guns and other modern and futuristic weaponry, modern armour, hundreds of new Feats (in addition to those now-familiar ones from Steel Shadows), new Prestige Classes, Chemicals, Science Fiction Elements (expanded from the information provided in the Pulp Periodic Table Free Download) and so much more.
ETERNIUM is a campaign book complete in itself as far as possible but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have GOLDEN as well!
On the back of Eternium we have a new campaign setting out called Silence is Golden. It's set in the fictional town of H.P. Lovecraft's Innsmouth in 2004 but avoids the cliches of that setting. A campaign setting specifically designed for teenaged characters it pits the players versus a sinister city with a dark past as well as their school obligations, finding money from part-time work, trying to maintain a rich social life all while trying to solve mysteries and fight the forces of evil.
Silence is Golden aka "I Know Who You Worshipped Last Summer"
This module is now available on the Pisces All Media website

on the PRODUCTS page,
and is discussed on our forums at

where the first few people who have bought it and are running it as a new and exciting campaign are reporting in already!
SILENCE IS GOLDEN uses the public domain H.P. Lovecraft story "Shadow Over Innsmouth" but AVOIDS any use of Deep Ones or other predictable Cthulhu whackiness in favour of detailing Innsmouth as it is in 2004 -- from the point of view of its high school students! A Teen Entry Class adventure for ETERNIUM d20 RPG, the module includes a detailed map of Innsmouth and a keyed guide to its buildings complete with challenges, puzzles and a murder mystery.
Also included are short form NPCs and a Consequences chart for when kid adventurers overstep the bounds with their parents or teachers...
The Deep One as actually described by Lovecraft is included as a bonus, but the fun in the setting comes from playing Teen adventurers such as are common in films like The Faculty, Scream and so on.
As well as these we're bringing out adventures every month and a free 'zine to help tie it all together. You should check it all out, it really is a bunch of fun to play (and write for I should say).
