Mentor Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Real world Pulp characters my vote goes to Nikola Tesla. One of the greatest scientific minds of the 20th century. I second the motion. Various weird theories had Tesla identified as a representative from an advanced alien planet or from the Earth's future. He will definitely appear in our 1905 New Century campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
