What traditional pulp adventure RPGs are out there?

[GlassEye]

Last time I was in the FLGS I noticed a copy of 'The Savage World of Solomon Kane'. But I don't know any details of the product other than it is supposedly a stand-alone Savage Worlds sourcebook.

I'll second Hollow Earth Expedition. It's only negative from your list is that it has a supplement, Secrets of the Surface World.

. . . pulp was a medium, not a style. . .

The word, of course, is "was" -- since then, Pulp has been redefined as a Mode (or sub-genre) built upon the commonplace tenets of fiction published in the aforementioned medium.

The super powers of Adventrue are less tied to the game then it might seem. We ran normal games with it no problem. Hollow Earth Expedition is a very good Pulp game that does fit the bill nicely though. Pulp Hero I use just to reference what Pulp is and to let players read it so they fully understand where the game is coming from.

I think Hollow Earth Expedition is one of the best pulp RPGs ever done. The rules are simple and the game plays very fast.

I keep wondering how compatible it is with Justice, Inc (it uses an older reiterration of the Hero System).

Pulp Hero basically is Justice, Inc. for 5th ed.

C&C would be perfect for this!

GURPS Cliffhangers
Space 1889 might qualify.

Yes, you can ignore the game's central premise and use it to run non-supers Pulp. This, however, does not make non-supers Pulp the game's central premise as-written

C&C has rules for everything! They're right there in other games -- but don't let that fool you -- these are actually rules for C&C! Pulp Hero? Doesn't exist. It's really a secret C&C sourcebook penned by the Troll Lord man-puppet Steve Long! Daredevils? A C&C sourcebook so awesome that somebody from Troll Lord travelled back in time to write it and then cleverly published it under an entirely different name to cover their footprints! These and other games are all C&C RAW!

C&C. It's new TimeCube.
