Here's a site that I discovered today with photos of a 19th century Japanese mining town that could be used for a variety of purposes. As is, it's pretty creepy, but cleaned up, it could make for a nice exotic locale, if your pulp game runs toward the globe-spanning adventure variety.

As the captioner observed, that would definitely make a great setting for some sort of post-apocalyptic movie. Nice find!

Being a Lovecraft fan, I can't help but think of it in terms of a horror story. It definitely has an "Innsmouth" thing going on. :angst:

I heard the sole survivor muttered something like "Gojira! Gojira!" before dying...

It's in the middle of a sea. There's a lot of things with tentacles in the sea.

It's like Innsmouth from Hell!

Maybe Innsmouth after the FBI came in and blew it up. "Take that, you froggies!"

...okay, maybe fifty years after they blew it up. :think:
