Which pulp adventure-style RPG's are out there now?

Well now i have to take a second look at Forbidden Kingdoms. I have not had a chance to use any of the mechanics in the book, so I nevr made any characters or took a really hard look at the system before. Mostly I read the fluff.

This year AEG is putting out the 1960's chamber book for Spycraft. Certainly a spy/cold war flavor but that era also includes two-fisted, hard-boiled, cops, spys and G-men. The Spycraft system is very cinematic as well, fits a pulp campaign nicely.

EDIT: Damn, now you have me wanting to run a game. Back in the days when everyone wore a fedora and guns came in 2 flavors; cop .38 and the 'ol 1911.

Actually I am going to put a vote in there FOR Forbidden Kingdoms. there was not much in there I DIDN'T like.

Each unto their own!

I am eagerly awaiting their gamemaster codex.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Was Forbidden Kingdoms sold as its own book, or was it simply an article(s) in a magazine?

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Don't forget that the next Indiana Jones movie is scheduled to hit theaters either in 2004 or (more likely) 2005.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Ironically, though, the movie will most likely take place in the late 1940's or early 1950's.

You must be thinking of the pulp game in an issue of Polyhedron.

Forbidden Kingdoms is its own book.

And don't forget that Space 1889 is back in print. How much more pulpy than that can you get ?

I find that using Pulp Heroes d20 under the d20 Modern rules makes for a good game.

There apparently is a Heroic Pulp Online game called Lost Continents in the works.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Unfortunately, the game is now apparently officially dead.
