Pulp Hero Resources

Glad I could provide the link Barbara. It is a great rpg. I just ordered it a few days ago myself. I have been going through the pdf constantly, and I can't wait till my dead tree version arrives.

Here's an amazingly good source for pulp era adventures in old China. I recommend checking out the library!

Tales Of Old China

This might be a helpful link.

FashionEra.com - Fashion-era contains 640 content rich, illustrated pages of Fashion History, Costume History, Clothing, Fashions and Social History.

Especially check out the Victorian Era and Stylish 30s sections...

On the PBS "American Masters" series (local repeat broadcast) last weekend was a piece on Lon Chaney. Well worth seeing for the disguise and make-up features of the era, if nothing else.

The link to the PBS site for the show is http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmast.../chaney_l.html

Another shipping spam from the eastern Mediterranean, possible business advert or cable for a tramp steamer working in your pulp campaign, though you'll have to change the dates, obviously.

Not sure if anyone's been paying attention to Pelgrane's See Page XX, a nifty collection of articles for their games which has more recently begun to include pieces about the pulp era (tying in with the upcoming Trail of Cthulhu game they're publishing):

I didn't see it posted so I thought I'd let folks know about it.

Disney's Tailspin. One my all time favorite cartoons and pulpy to boot. They use the D6 system for the stats.

My Inbox is generally a sorry collection of commercial notices and occasional letters, but once in a while something worth a look arrives...

Today it was a newsletter from Lego pointing me towards their new Indiana Jones Lego sets. I hope these get released in the UK (not all of the cool Lego stuff does, alas).

Anyway, consider it another source of pulp miniatures

I owe you REP

Funny

I owe you REP

Not a problem, I appreciate the last lot you gave

By the way, if you like the look of the Lego sets then you'll certainly fancy a go at playing this. Definitely one for my "games to buy" list, but then the Fedora, custom leather jacket and authentic British gasmask bag in my wardrobe do tend to hint at a slight interest in the pulp / Indy scene...

"Tailspin" fits right in to a "Pulp" campaign (aprt from the anthropomorphic animals of course !, I'm not sure I could handle one of my players wanting to play a Bear pilot !)

The only true change would be that pants would be optional for male characters.

The website did inspire me to go buy the first season on DVD. Definitely worth the $25+tax I paid at Best Buy.
