[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 2820003, member: 1125"] The idea of secret cults hidden in underground caverns, or the theif stealing into the Wizards tower/haunted museum/enemy fortress/ruined temple is common in the pulps so subteranean location-based adventures would exists. Tarzan also has a lot of adventures in open-air dungeons (lost valleys, underground kingdoms, inaccesible plateaus, enclosed thorny forests, Pellucidar etc) so that would provide a welcome change. Of course Orc and Pie wont happen but cult-zealot (with scimiter) and Pie might be viable. As for magic it would be less ubiquitous and more subtle. Ritual spells might be more common, divine intervention would be the standard and other magical abilities might come from artifacts given as gifts from the gods or fae OR as potions and other pseudo-science machines as influenced by the Pulps (Ninth Ray anyone?) I wonder if in the thirties with the machinations of Kaiser Wilhelm, the Ottoman Empire, the Tsarist Russians and the Great Game still recent history whether these elements of espionage and international diplomacy might have an influence. Would PCs be modeled on Lawrence of Arabia for instance? [/QUOTE]
