st barbara Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Not an "online" resource but I recently received my copy of "The Pulp Hero-Special Edition" By Nick Carr, published by "Wildcat Books" with short writeups on various characters ,both the famous ("Doc Savage", "G-8", "The Shadow", "Tarzan" etc) and the more obscure ("Captain Zero","Phineas Pinkham" and "Matalaa : The White Savage" for example). The web address of the publisher is given as http://www.lulu.com. (Er if someone who knows more about it than I could check that address out and post a link I would appreciate it !) Includes a section on "The Care and Feeding of Pulps" for serious collectors of the old magazines but so far I have only skimmed the contents.

st barbara Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Another resource for Pulp (especially Pulp Weirdness) is "Adventures Unlimited Press) at http://www.wexclub.com/aup. They publish the work of David Hatcher Childress for a start but I have more recently got a copy of "In Secret Mongolia" by Henning Haslund, a reprint of a Danish explorer in Mongolia in the 1920's and '30's, which looks to be just FULL of ideas for a pulp adventure !

st barbara Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: Pulp Hero Resources More on "Wild Cat Books" (referred to in my last post). Looks like a modern publisher who wants to revive the "pulp" genre. I have a novel er book of novellas/short stories (which I am reading at the moment)entitled "The Hounds Of Hell" by Ron Fortier and Gordon Linzner which features a confrontation between two pulp characters ;the evil "Doctor Satan" and the "Robin Hood" type "hero" "The Moon Man". They also publish reprints of the works of such writers as Sax Rohmer, H Rider Haggard and "Russell Thorndike ("Dr Syn : A smugglers Tale Of Romney Marsh") as well as new fiction featuring characters with names like "Brother Grim" and "Captain Spectre and the Lightning Legion" !

Air Pirate Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Here's a great link that was posted recently in the Dragonsfoot forum. The creater of this site has a gallery of cover art for Weird Tales magazine starting with the year 1923. I thought I had to post the link here. They should provide great inspiration for your pulp adventures. Weird Tales 1923 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Pirate Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Don Carnage I presume? Heh, no ... well, sort of. I admire his style and his conveyances, and he is a snazzy dresser , but my inspirations are a little more old-school. I've always like pirates. My favorite characters in games like traveller, twilight 2000 and flashing blades were pirates. I've always like airships, since movies like Hindenberg and Zeppelin. But what finally brought the two together was the Crimson Skies boardgame. By the way, I see you're living up to your moniker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Plot synopsis for One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing While this was actually a comedy, it was set in the 20s and has a lot of elements that can be used in a pulp game: a secret formula, chase scenes, and kung fu fighting. Keep in mind that the Chinese agents were a bit stereotypical (this was made in the 70s), but it was a fun movie to watch. Here are a couple of spoilers. The climax: Lotus X turned out to be a chicken soup recipe! My favorite recollection about the movie: While the Chinese agents defeated the museum guards with their mastery of kung fu, they were no match for elderly nannies armed with handbags.

Just Joe Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Dover Books' Architecture section (http://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-architecture--interior-design--period-style.html) has lots of books with house plans from the Victorian Era (built pre-pulp, but probably still quite common during the Pulp Era) as well as a number with house plans from the 20's and at least one from the 30's. There are also at least a few books with things other than houses. I just ordered The Architecture of McKim, Mead & White in Photographs, Plans and Elevations, which includes plans for well-known museums and such and The Metropolis of Tomorrow published in 1929 and written by Ferris (the guy who invented the Ferris Wheel). Also, Osprey Publishing (http://www.ospreypublishing.com/) has some nice books for this and other periods. The "Naval" section has books on WW I and WWW II submarines and the "Aviation" section has at least one Book on Zepplins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
