I think it can just about do 'Sword & Sandals' film level heroics of the 1960s-70s, but it doesn't do anything like what people tend to think of as pulp fantasy action these days. You might do 1970s 'Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire', but you're not doing Russell Crowe single handedly massacring an entire Gladiator team in 'Gladiator'. For that kind of pulp action level I'd use D6 System. Likewise Conan or Fafhrd/Mouser. Or Elric, ironically - BRP Elric/Stormbringer lets you play in Elric's world, it doesn't really let you play Elric.Edit: I had huge success using BRP for a gritty ALIENS mini campaign, though. As Call of Cthulu shows, BRP does horror really really well.</blockquote>
