Thanks Lord Liaden! I'll check it out. That is DEFINITELY it. Thanks! Golden Age Champions is the target rule set/setting for the campaign.... but we're firmly in "Pulp Hero" right now. Hadn't reviewed Golden Age Champions in a long time. (Doing it now...)

I'm running a Pulp Hero campaign aimed at transitioning to Golden Age Supers (WWII). I recall seeing a write up in some module (some place, some where...) a long time ago, about a ghostly taxi and it's ghost taxi man. They were both originally alive, but (I think) attacked by gangsters and killed/burned. However the ghost taxi and its drive continue to haunt the city and frequently provide assistance to heroes. Can anyone direct me to the module or product that had that write up? Thanks! - Mark

Re: PA / Star Hero related links about exo / cryptobiology Radiation is...radiation. Whether it is the x-ray side of the spectrum or in the visible light end of it, it's merely EM energy. Different, sure...but not THAT different.

Have any GMs employed music for the setting? - Possibly, heavy "Darth Vader" music when the main baddie shows up? - Allowing the Hero(es) to have group or individual theme music? And to further add to the mood/weirdness, allow the players to pick when in the action to play their "theme music", during which they gain +1 or +2 to all skill rolls, OCV/DCV, (etc, at the GM's discretion)? It would probably have a short term effect, if only allowed once per session. (Hopefully, no one will select Don McLean's "American Pie" as their theme....) Probably better in a Pulp or Superhero genre... Thoughts? Best regards,

Re: Predictions for the year 2000 I do find the predictions from 1900 a bit suspect. Some of them are just a little too close. Perhaps they were actually written in 1999?

Re: Marine Corps Martial Arts Program Isn't the real difference that the new martial arts are required of ALL Marines of ALL ranks? Or was I misled by the news release. Mark

Re: Fantasy Reproduction I found this descriptions of Orc to be "offal, absolutely offal!" Actually, pretty good.

Re: Combat Precognition If you want to simulate a power that requires endurance, make the +CSL (or specific mods to only OCV or DCV) cost endurance. Best regards,

Re: Maybe bat-cape flying isn't unrealistic.... Wouldn't be surprised if it sees use in Special Ops...

Re: Mental Block:Scientist Plot 1812? The French? They are our allies!!! How could they possibly be wanting to hurt us? Unless the setting is in the UK! Well, hopefully the campaign will end in New Orleans after the Brit/US War of 1812 is finished...but before the word gets to the combatants. Best regards, Kofi

Re: HISTORY CHANNEL ROCKS for plot seeds Imminent wars and on-going wars often provide the backdrop for many plot seeds. One of the other fascinating episodes was on the Ahnenerbe, a SS group of scientists/socialogists/archeologists that were the real-life group that went to Nepal (Indiana Jones movie) along with MANY other areas. Good stuff for a Pulp setting. Best regards, Kofi

I am so impressed with the History Channel. They had a show on adventuring archeologists. One guy (Morley? Marlow?) was an archeologist in Mexico/Yucatan peninsula who volunteered his services to the country during WWI. Apparently, the Germans were considering putting U-boat resupply posts on the coast of Mexico. Over the course of a year or so, he was able to allay US fears...none of the sites were really suitable. Apparently, he was charming (drinking buddies with the husbands of the women he seduced), able to associate with governors and laborers, and had a super capacity to imbibe tequila. They had other stories about the british archeologist who helped organize resistance to the Nazis (WWII) in Crete. GREAT source for inspiration. Best regards, Kofi
