[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5230596, member: 19675"] There's all kinds of stuff that can happen in pulp. With the Nazis & Martians, you've got all kinds of people looking for all kinds of artifacts. Odds are high that they'll be in [LIST=1] [*]ultra-remote environments- hidden mountain cities like Shangri-la in the Himalayas, Arctic enclaves of Martian thralls, or lost temples in the jungles of South America, Africa, Asia or maybe even uncharted islands. [*]Private collections of the very wealthy. Cue high-society event with either a sneak-thief who must be caught or an armed invasion with hostages. [*]Major museums like the British Museum of Natural History, the Armory at Leeds, the Smithsonian, the Louvre, the Hermitage, or even the Vatican. [/LIST] Then there is incidental stuff. Pulp Heroes often find themselves in adventures during their down-time...or even on their way to other adventures: [LIST=1] [*]Attacked in the Sargasso by "Atlanteans" [*]The luxury liner upon which they've booked passage is attacked by pirates, or runs aground on an island that simply isn't supposed to be there. (Think of Jules Verne's[I] The Mysterious Island[/I], H.G. Wells' [I]Island of Dr. Moreau[/I] or even something more modern, like the James Bond adventure, [B]Man with the Golden Gun[/B].) [*]A murder mystery on a trans-continental express railroad. [*]Plain vanilla crimefighting: A bank robbery or kidnapping, the killing of a dear friend or trusted contact [/LIST] Plus, if you look in my sig, you'll see a link to a thread FULL of Campaign Ideas by [I]dozens [/I]of posters.
