[Recruitment] Be a hero ... a Pulp Hero!

[Mighty Halfling]

Heroes come in many forms. One might be a rich playboy, living the high life from a penthouse in New York City; another a Chicago gangster. Some might call the jungles their home, or travel the world exploring ancient cultures. Others might run a traveling magic show or be a veteran pilot of the Great War.
Their origins are disparate, but all the heroes in this Pulp Adventures campaign have one thing in common: Each works for a mysterious person known only as "The Spider."
Perhaps they owe this mysterious benefactor their life, or they received mysterious aid when no one else would. Others, less savory but no less skilled, may have come to discover that The Spider has learned their secrets and he has 'encouraged' them to listen up when a message comes. Others are simply the sort of person who embrace heroism and acts of daring with open arms.
Whatever the reason, when The Spider calls -- through a gem set in the ring on their hand glows -- they answer for they are ...
PULP HEROES!!!!

Very cool... I don't think I have the time to join, but I love pulp.

Are you actually using THE Spider or is this a different character?

Sorry, It's not <i>THE</i> Spider. The pulp-adventures.com rulebook says all PCs work for someone named 'S', so I figured it was either The Shadow or The Spider. I like name "The Spider" better because of the implication of pulling strings and being connected.

Oh yeah!

Let me also add that this game is based on Pulp Heroes, the first mini-game WOTC produced for its Dungeon/Polyhedron split book. It allows PCs to create characters like Mandrake the Magician, Flash Gordon, Indiana Jones, Philip Marlowe, Doc Savage, The Rocketeer, Charlie Chan and dozens of other great pulp characters!

Just to be fair and let you know, we're going to be changing the rules of that game a bit sometime soon (and yes, I'm one of the people in charge of that campaign). We'll be adapting things over to something of a Spycraft system though keeping a lot of the classes roughly the same. It won't happen for a few more modules though. Wrath of Ra Pt. 2 will be using the old rules.

Thanks for the info. (I knew something was in the works, but I wasn't sure what)
I assume there will be a conversion for characters. If that's the case, then we're all set.
Regardless, I'm just eager to play/GM this game! Depending on what sort of players I attract, they may not even care if they're connected to the Living Campaign of Pulp Adventures.
