BigJackBrass Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources For early pulp agents this watch might come in handy (nice photos on the site, too): http://watchismo.blogspot.com/2007/05/watchismo-times_10.html More camera watches can be found on this page http://watchismo.blogspot.com/search/label/vintage And a little after the standard pulp era they would be able to get one of these: http://watchismo.blogspot.com/2006/11/spy-watch-who-loved-me-1955-protona.html Quite a nice site to trawl through, actually, because the descriptions and pictures are very easy to piece together if you want to create an authentic-looking pulp era timepiece with unusual functions. Slapping an old brand name on it adds that Bondesque chic Finally, I couldn't see a link to these Zeppelin floor plans anywhere, so here you go: http://www.rattrap-productions.com/PulpHeroes/Downloads/ScenicPDFs/zeppelingondola.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources I get email spam from a shipping company (or perhaps a single agent) in the eastern Mediterranean. This has been going on for a couple of years. If you want to know how that got started, PM me (it's not very interesting). Anyway, some of these look like telegrams from the Pulp Era. For instance: E X C L U S I V E LOOKING TO BAREBOAT HIRE PURCHASE. 2 X 2200 UPTO 4000 DWT SD TRY LARGER WOULD PREFER MAX LOA 70M TRY LARGER. GEARED TONNAGE PREFERED BUT GEARLSS OK. BLT 80(S) ONWARD DURATION TO BE MUTUALLY AGREED DELIVERY DATE AND PLACE BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT. CHARTERER/BUYERS A100 FIRST CLASS WITH GOOD REF AND BACKGROUND. DEPOSIT ON DELIVERY AT 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 MONTHS TO BE AGREED + MONTHLY HIRES. HIRE + DEPOSITS GOING AGAINST PURCHASE PRICE. NEED POCKET PLAN. PHOTO. CLASS STATUS REPORT PRICE AND OWNERS CONDITIONS. END BEST REGARDS, (name omitted) Yes, these are all monocase all-caps, just like an old-time telegram. No, I don't know what the abbreviations mean. When I get these (roughly once a week) I'll paste 'em in here, for a while, anyway. They might be of use in a pulp campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources A couple of nights ago, I was thinking that with a bit of work, some of the old Dungeons & Dragons modules would work great as pulp adventures. I was thinking specifically of these two: X1: The Isle of Dread, by David "Zeb" Cook and Tom Moldvay. The PCs take a trip to an uncharted island and encounter pirates and dinosaurs. DA3: City of the Gods, by Dave L. Arneson and David J. Ritchie. The PCs meet the survivors of a crashed starship (the crew is human, with robotic servants) and get their first taste of future technology.

Narratio Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Pulp Hero Resources Help! I somehow got into a chunk of You-Tube yesterday which had short movie showing stop motion pteradactyls attacking a zeppelin. It was made by splicing together old 20'30's movies, newsreel footage and some decent edits. But, as in all things You-Tube, and an overactive cookie / history cleanerI can no longer find it. I think it was called zeppelin vs pteradactyl. Can anybody get me a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
