Im going to have a Pulp Hero game at 3pm at 2720 e madison (if you need a bus, its #11) There will be pre-made characters, paper miniatures, popcorn, and fun! RSVP rjb9@yahoo.com[/email=rjb9@yahoo.com] oops forgot to mention im in seattle Well, it's been a week. No RSVPs, no interest of any kind. I may as well just bag it. This may not be a dying game, but the genre seems to be as dead as the proverbial doornail. Pity, but I may just have to rethink this hobby.

From 4-15 National Geographic: Italian archaeologists working at the Greco-Roman site of ancient Hierapolis (modern-day Pamukkale)[/url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/485] in Turkey have uncovered that city's gate to the underworld. Pilgrims from around the classical world came to Hierapolis to bathe in its hot springs and worship at the Ploutonion—a temple precinct built over a cave and underground thermal area.

Modern-day Pulp? 1 2

I recently had this idea about doing a Pulp campaign in a modern-day setting. The game mechanics wouldn't be too different, of course. It's mostly the visuals that need a bit of tweaking. To me, Pulp has a certain look, which should remind people of another era. The trick then is to give the game a retro look while staying in the modern world. It's not that hard to do. Describe the people the PCs meet in suits and fedoras or in dresses. Have them drive around town in a Chrysler PT Cruiser. If they need to fly somewhere, let them hop on board a Cessna Caravan, or maybe even a Zeppelin NT. If you add music to your games, some of the songs by Norah Jones and Dave Matthe…

I think it can be done. I think there is a baby in that bathwater. To me, from the pulp stories I have read, the racism had two sides to it. One part is the easily discarded xenophobia and white supremacy. The other part though, in which races are often given lush descriptions that emphasize their exotic differences from the Western world (sometimes even within the West) is worth keeping in my opinion if one approaches it intelligently and sensitively. I've read stories in which other races feel as different from our heroes as elves, dwarves, and orcs do from humans. On the one hand, this implied a certain level of inhumanity - especially for African blacks. On the o…

We've lost all website order data from between the 8th and the 11th. I have some backup records, but they don't tell me everything I need to know. If you ordered during that time (even PDFs), please contact me at jason@herogames.com. I'll need to know what you ordered, what your shipping address is, and the last 4 digits of your credit card to verify your identity. Furthermore, all customers who have been inconvenienced by this data loss shall receive a set of six Hero Dice when that product becomes available in the near future. Thank you once again for your patience. “The Management”

I want to build a Adventurer's team that is not comprised entirely of Caucasian nationalities. The characters are all highly proficient and successful, which is why they've been gathered into a team (think of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). This is set in the mid-twenties or thereabouts. I've been poring over the Pulp Hero book and supplements. Found some about exotic nationalities, but not a lot about PC-level roles. Example character roles I'm already toying with are: Aviator, Ship Captain, Grease Monkey, Modern Major General, Professor/Scientist, Great White Hunter and Nordic Ox (Hans). Example nationalities so far seem to be French, Irish, British, …

The latest PDF from Elvensong Street Press (i.e., me ) is now available! Legions Of Hell is a direct result of feedback from you, the HERO System fan. When I posted a couple months ago about PDFs of monsters I was considering creating, I got multiple suggestions to do a PDF of demons. Well, ask and ye shall receive. Legions Of Hell contains character sheets for nearly sixty demons. Within its pages you’ll find such terrors as the Barbtail Demon, Book Demon, Crowned Demon, Fell Assassin, Infernal Soldier, Prince of the Pit, Slime Demon, Worm Demon, and Demonticore! Each demon is ready for use in any game -- they could be minions of DEMON or the Demonologist in a Cha…

Everyone with half a functioning brain knows that diving on a live hand grenade to save your friends is one of the single most selfless, balls-out heroic acts of valor that any human being can perform. It takes a special, rare kind of person to come face-to-face with their own destruction, resist every natural impulse of self-preservation, and unhesitatingly give themselves up in a final, purely-selfless feat of bravery, trading in the most precious thing a human has to offer – their life – so that others might live. It's such a paragon of ultimate selfless human sacrifice that nowadays it's the standard go-to analogy for everything from taking all the blame for a team-wi…
