[QUOTE="Express, post: 1642554, member: 19166"] I think like with some much in our post modern world, pulp/noir is short hand for a certain kind of adventure, but it doesnt really mean what it meant exactly in the 1930's. Hallmarks certainly are hardbitten heroes with moral ambiguity, over the top action and evil with a capital E. /slight hijack: To be honest, while I like the vibe of Eberron, the main reason for me is because its such a transparent application of 3.5, not necessarily a pulpy/noirish place. You could really run such adventure in any setting, (but Eberron seems hardwired for such adventure) although the disconnect between 40's type noir with swords and scorcery fantasy seems sometimes hard to overcome. BTW my favorite fantasy/noir/ Lovecraftain movie is here: [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101550/[/url] EDIT: Just noticed theres a trailer to the movie too. I might have to find this movie. A bit cheesy but cool. /end hijack [/QUOTE]
