Re: Modern-day Pulp? I'd forgotten about that one, thanks. Definitely that would be one of my sources. The nice thing about living near San Francisco is that there are lot of places with Art Deco buildings and warehouses by the docks. I can always take pictures and use them in my game. I wouldn't be neglecting the modern technology altogether, but I'll gloss it over. A passing mention or two, just to move the action along, will do.

I recently had this idea about doing a Pulp campaign in a modern-day setting. The game mechanics wouldn't be too different, of course. It's mostly the visuals that need a bit of tweaking. To me, Pulp has a certain look, which should remind people of another era. The trick then is to give the game a retro look while staying in the modern world. It's not that hard to do. Describe the people the PCs meet in suits and fedoras or in dresses. Have them drive around town in a Chrysler PT Cruiser. If they need to fly somewhere, let them hop on board a Cessna Caravan, or maybe even a Zeppelin NT. If you add music to your games, some of the songs by Norah Jones and Dave Matthews Band work well. What do you guys think? I also found this: Modern Pulp Comics

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Yum! I'd get that, although I'd add garlic to the mix. I, on the other hand, love mushrooms. They're my favorite pizza topping.

Re: Humanoids not in charge? There's the Council of Wyrms setting TSR created during its 2nd Edition days. All the PCs there are dragons. I haven't played it though, so I can't tell you how well they pulled it off.
