But did the original have the twist that neither knew about the other's secret career? That's most of what made Mr and Mrs Smith amusing.

NestorDRod Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! Dang! I don't know how I could have missed this thread! Here's an actual pulp plot scenario I've been concocting, inspired by a great B-movie... Deep Rising: The PCs are a team of hard-bitten soldiers of fortune hired to assault and hijack a nondescript tramp steamer suspected of carrying some important cargo their employer wants "retrieved." What the team doesn't know is that the item in question is an Atlantean portal device, the steamer is crewed by Nazi soldiers and scientists, and the eggheads activated the portal onto the Hollow Earth, unleashing a herd of hungry Deinonychi onto the ship, who proceeded to devour the crew. The PCs will arrive on the ship to find it deserted, with signs of struggle and random blood smears, but no bodies. Meantime, in the main cargo hold, they're getting hungry again...

Tigereye Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! The Hunt for Red October: Jack Ryan discovers that Kapitan Markus von Rambusch intends to defect in the latest Kriegsmarine U-Boat, because von Rambusch's wife is being persecuted for having Jewish blood... Unfortunately, Ryan's superiors resist him at almost every turn, and his quixotic mission is placed in the hands of the crew of the Macon-class zeppelin Dallas, the only vessel capable of tracking the untraceable sub. Meanwhile, von Rambusch is having problems of his own...most of his crew are still loyal to the Fuehrer, and he must also convince Ryan and the crew of the Dallas to rescue his wife, who is only days away from being killed by the Gestapo...

Iowa Williams and the Search for the Holy Grail: Iowa Williams, "King of Archeologists," assisted (sorta) by a number of lesser archeologists, follows a convoluted trail of clues in an attempt to find the Holy Grail. At the end, frustrated by a group of Nazi archeologists (it's pulp, we've got to have Nazis in here somewhere), Iowa calls up a huge group of friends, only to be arrested as they prepare to swoop down on Schloss Wassisnammen where the Holy Grail is being held.

DusterBoy Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! James Bond now fights Nazis. All the rest is pretty much the same. You could even introduce Bolshevik agents. You'd have to go back to having a male M though. The Walther PPK would have to go, too. It didn't reach Britain until after WWII. The 4 1/2 litre Bentley is good for the period though.

Michael Hopcroft Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! James Bond now fights Nazis. Wasn't he originally a veteran of World War II (given that the first Bond stories were published in the mid-1950s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! Wasn't he originally a veteran of World War II (given that the first Bond stories were published in the mid-1950s)? I believe so. There's a couple of lines in "Thunderball" which bear this out. The owner of the health spa James Bond has been sent to by M looks him over and says: "My, you do seem to have been in the wars, Mr Bond." "A near miss, during the war." Bond replies. (This is probably not a direct quote. I haven't read the books for ages.) Plus, there's plenty of references to his time in the RNVR and he is referred to Commander Bond enough times. Plus Ian Fleming was a member of the RNVR during WWII and he created the Special intelligence Unit, later called 30 Commando (Special Engineering Unit) and finally 30 Assault Unit, which functioned as a technical intelligence gathering unit.

SKJAM! Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! Well, in the time period, more like nationalist rebels against colonial power of your choice than "terrorists." With the available technology, the suit would be even bigger and less maneuverable than the 60s version--once he's back in the states, Howard Stark (father of Tony) develops a better suit that has the fantastical technology of the 1950s or so. And he can pretty much forget ever concealing his identity due to the near iron-lung chestpiece he needs to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapsedgamer Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! Chuck. Brilliant engineering student at Stanford University is forced out because his classmate accuses him of cheating, while he is in fact the culprit. The only job he can get is as a radio repairman for a large chain store (maybe Sears and Roebuck). His former classmate is a secretly involved with U.S Army Signals Intelligence Service who are developing a means of transmitting coded classified information on the newly developed FM radio band, encoded so that it can only be deciphered by a sophisticated miniaturized analog computer (think difference engine) disquised as a console radio. In a moment of stress, the spy covertly sends Chuck this radio to work as a means of keeping it out of Nazi hands. Opening the console causes a freak accident and Chuck receives a full transimission of classified data. In fact, all of the data is loaded into his brain, and his brain somehow acts as a decoding machine. He cannot control how and when information comes to the surface, and the goverment cannot recreate the information without significant work. Chuck gets a minder from the Army, and another from the FBI, and works for the goverment, while keeping a cover as a common radio repairman.

TheRavenIs Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! Beast Master; a young man with a strange telepathic gift that allows him to master animals. He creates a special bond with a group of special animal allies. 1. A Horse, not just any horse but one with greater speed, endurance and all-around ability of a Triple Crown winner or a Hildago. 2. A German Shepard, say a Rin-Tin-Tin, with Lassie like intelligence. 3. A pair of Raccoons, smart, high dexterity and innate manipulatory abilty. 4. A Golden Eagle, again smarter, and faster flier than an a normal one of the breed. He travels the world seeking out those that would use science and magic to rule the world. He always finds a way to get the animal companions into where ever he has to go. Also, he always gets the girl, and not just any girl but one that in her own right should be called a Pulp Hero.

Shadowsoul Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Re: Pulparize It! that works now since i pulparized the six milion dollar man earlier on anybody want to try puparizing the 2007 version of bionic woman? Since it would be tricky for a Pulp Era cyborg to keep her kid sister in the dark about her modifications then you could go down this route. Jaime Sommers doesn't know that her boyfriend Will Anthros works for a secret organisation called the Berkut Group which is dedicated to defending the world against those who threaten it with the technologies of ancient civilisations such as Mu and Atlantis. When Jaime is critically injured in a plane accident Will hurries her to the Berkut Group's secret underground base and has 'Atlantean Warrior Crystals' implanted into her skull, legs and right arm. These crystals were the secret to the creation of Atlantean Super Soldiers and they grant Jaime accelerated healing, incredible strength, enhanced senses and knowledge of ancient martial arts. When she is threatened the crystals take over, transforming her limbs and face into nearly invulnerable metallic constructs. Jonas Bledsoe, the man in charge of the 'Bionic Process Project', (the implantation of crystals), is furious at this waste of resources and insists that Jaime works off her debt to the Berkut group by acting as an agent, even though he does not entirely trust a woman to do 'man's work'. Jaime struggles to maintain her independence whilst proving herself to be a capable agent and all the while attempting to raise her rebellious young sister who was expelled from boarding school and must now live with Jaime. Jaime's problems are compounded by the attentions of Samuel Corvus, the first Bionic Warrior who has gone renegade and intends to harvest her crystals to save his own, failing, body. How does that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
