BobGreenwade Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: THRILLING PLACES -- What Do *You* Want To See? Yesterday I thought about a museum, and a quick search of the thread shows that it's been mentioned twice in separate contexts, so in a way I'm only seconding it. A museum of antiquities, complete with an "Egyptian Room," a "Celtic Room," and a "Prehistory Room," could be the starting point (if not centerpiece) of many a pulp adventure.

Basil Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: THRILLING PLACES -- What Do *You* Want To See? The South China Sea: pirates, rocky little islands, shallow that the lowest of low tides reveal, plots, unknown species of sea creatures, politics, --- heck, just about any kind of Pulpy goodness you could ask for.

Spence Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: THRILLING PLACES -- What Do *You* Want To See? Since everyone has already mentioned the cool stuff, I will simply "me too" the following: Ships - Passenger Liner and Cargo Ship China Town (or equivelent), but rather than a specific adventure, make it a complete write-up and map that can be "dropped into" a GM's city or adventure.

Well, TP isn't intended as a book of adventures per se -- every location in the book is one suited for easy transplanting into the campaign of your choice. In some cases the type of adventure associated with a location will be pretty obvious, and of course the locations will come with plot seeds, but we've got plenty of specific adventures already in our Hero Plus Adventures line.

And that is Exactly what I want ! I can usually come up with the adventure but if some of the hard work is done for me as far as the location is concerned, so much the better !

Hopefully many people will agree, and many many books will be sold, and we will be able to do more along these lines. Rob and I certainly have plenty of ideas for cool locations; the trick with this book is winnowing all of our cool concepts down to a single book's worth.

Which reminds me I still have to populate my "lost island" for tomorrows game ! Well if the first book goes well we can hope for more. Realistically I guess "Pulp" is a minority interest inside a minority interest so we (the fans) will just have to keep buying the books to encourage you (the writers) the produce more stuff !

Derek Hiemforth Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Re: THRILLING PLACES -- What Do *You* Want To See? I think I need to write a macro or something that does a search every day for new "What do *YOU* want to see?" threads. I always seem to see them for the first time after they're many pages long, and probably too late to offer much useful input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're always welcome to make suggestions up to the point where I say that the writing of the book is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes. "Leftover Hero" ! This is the guy who turns up the day after that party and eats all the leftover food/ drinks all the bizarre forms of booze that people have bought and NEVER gets sick, regardless of how "off" the salmon mousse was !
