[QUOTE="Turgenev, post: 583826, member: 6733"] Thanks for the kind words, Johnny. I'm a huge pulp fan (a Pulpaholic? :D) so naturallly I would be attracted to a game that allows me to have lost civilizations, masked heroes, villainous masterminds, weird science... you get the idea. :) If it is a pulp fix that you need, then here is a cool website that people might want to check out: [url]http://www.blackmask.com/page.php?do=page&cat_id=212[/url] The period [url=http://www.chaosium.com/cthulhu/index.shtml][b]Call of Cthulhu[/b][/url] books by Chaosium have lots of info about the 20s-30s. Such books as the main CoC rulebook (extensive equipment & weapons listings and a timeline of the 20s-30s) and the various place books (i.e. the Arkham Unveiled & Return to Dunwich books) are great references and a source of ideas for any Pulp Heroes mini-game. :) Course I would recommend the d20 CoC book if you wish to include some mythos elements in your Pulp campaign, but since that book was written with a modern setting in mind (I know it does have the option of rpging in the 30s) - it just doesn't have the same amount of flavour text that the Chaosium books have. ;) Here is a link to a Japanese site (its their English page - don't worry ;)) that sells vintage posters from 1930s Shanghai: [url]http://www.apl-japan.com/china/e-index.shtml[/url] These images would add some great atmosphere to any Pulp game set in the Orient. Cheers, Tim [/QUOTE]
