What makes Pulp Cthulhu "pulp"? Indiana Jones type heroes? Or Doc Savage? My only real reference for pulp is the basic ones that everyone would know, and Adventure! by white wolf. Seems to me that in pulp adventures, the heroes stand a chance of defeating the bad guys... but in Cthulhu? Not as much. I would be interested though, in playing.

d20 modern of any stripe, but Shadow Chasers, Urban Arcana, Agents of Psi, or Genetech settings in paticular- basically, something out of the ordinary. I've also become quite taken with the Grim-n-Gritty hitpoint rules since I saw them on Gwolf's recently posted game (go join, we need more players!), so any game using those whould be cool.
I have less interest in games I don't have the rules for, obviously.
But d20 modern, D&D, andStar wars (in that order) are all things I would proboably join if they came up .

Heroes in the "pulp" genre tend to be larger than life action heroes who are thrust into fantastic situations and risk life and limb to save the world (or the girl) from the equally larger than life villain. If you picture heroes like Indiana Jones, Rick and Evie from The Mummy, Doc Savage, John Carter of Mars, and especially the Mythos fiction of Howard and Lumley you can't go wrong.
"Pulp" in the Cthulhu setting is not too much different. The heroes are still going to be in as much danger as a "regular" CoC game, but there is more of a focus on action instead of investigation in these stories.
