    The Mapparium

    Check this out:

    The Mapparium

    A giant, walk-inside "globe" of the world as it was in 1935? Sign me up! I'd love to see this thing. Heck, I'm tempted to buy a plane ticket to Boston right now.

    You know, I've always wanted to visit Boston. Now I have yet another reason to plan a trip there.

    That's a great link. Now I wish I'd done more research back-in-the-day when I was travelling for work and ended up in Boston.

    I had no idea such a thing existed. Something to add to the "to-do" list should I ever get back up to Boston.

    Thanks, Steve.

    Now I have to save up to get plane tickets, etc.

    DAMMIT STEVE! This was NOT in my budget for this year! But now I have to go!

    Re: The Mapparium

    I was thinking that if I were to ever Kickstarter a major Pulp Hero supplement, the top-tier prize would be something like "we all fly to Boston, rent the Mapparium, and run a game inside."

    Don't tease us like that. It's not fair.

    LOL.

    Unfortunately, I think that trying to successfully Kickstarter the PH supplement I have in mind (working title: The Pulp Adventurer's Guide to the World) is going to make successfully Kickstartering Mythic Hero look like child's play. For that matter, writing PAGtW would make writing MH seem like child's play.
