AmadanNaBriona Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Pulp Hero While I understand that there may be distinct rights and ownership issues with updating Lands of Mystery to 5ER, I REALLY hope pulp hero will address many of the elements from it. The various types of Lost Worlds settings are a core subgenre of Pulp, and LoM did an incredible job of rekindling a childhood love for them in me. The second thing I loved about it was the character archtype section, including the parts about the relative starting strengths of the different archtypes depending on their "status" to the story. LoM led to many one off stories and a couple of campaigns, as well as leading me to scour local book stores and eventually aquire a LOT of E.R. Burroughs, H. Rider Haggard and other "period" authors. Its a really fun genre, and I'm glad it gets recognition in the gaming world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Re: Pulp Hero There are another couple of Pulp staple types that I would think of adding to your group. "The Hard Boiled Detective" and the "Dashing Aviator/Aviatrix" both of whom would fit nicely into a Pulp game ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfjack Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Re: Pulp Hero Sweet site Wolfjack. I recognize some of the imagery but not all - do you have an artist who draws for you or do you repurpose other material? Sheesh... I never went back to this thread to look at responses. I can be such a dumba$$. Yes, I do actually repurpose other resources, with an extensive touch of Adobe here and there. The site many of the pics came from is: http://www.pulpgallery.com/ I would take snips and snaps of covers and use them as needed - I felt that converyibg to B&W helped me achieve the look I was aiming for. Considering the age of the covers and how this was primarily a resouce for friends, I didn't feel that I was actually breaking any kopyrite laws. I can say with some small amount of pride that the charcater names were all doen by myself - my advertising career has given me a fond love for fonts. I hope others get a thrill out of the pulp covers. They're great to look back on! Best... Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
