  5. I'm not sure if anyone here is into action figures but I found a line with definite Pulp appeal. check out out the Saturday post on my Blog: http://evildm.blogspot.com/2008/11/loving-me-some-chap-mei.html
  6. I want to pick up some pulp style miniatures (metal figures, not paper ones), but the places i've seen that sell them are in far off exotic lands like England and Canada. Are there any manufacturers here in the US that have a healthy selection of Pulp figures? Thanks for the assist, Jeff

  10. Re: Thrilling Places question All the more reason to release any additional content as a freebie pdf. Kind of a thank you to all your loyal readers. You never know, a couple of free Thrilling Places nuggets might spur a fence sitter to buy a copy.
  11. Re: Thrilling Places question Thrilling Places can easily be used with any system. Here is a write-up I did for it from my Blog. Thrilling Places Rob Hudson Thrilling places is a supplement for the Pulp Hero line from Hero games. I’ve played Hero System games in the past and I acknowledge the company as one of the pillars of the RPG hobby but the system was never a favorite of mine. That said, The Pulp Hero line offers a lot to any fan of Pulp era gaming. Thrilling Places is the latest, and quite possibly the best product from this line. Written by Rob Hudson, Thrilling places offers over a dozen separate globe-spanning locations for Pulp era adventures, everything from a decrepit plantation in the Bayous of Louisiana, to a mysterious island home of a monstrous ape-god hidden in the South Pacific. Thrilling Places offers fleshed out locations, environments, characters and adventure ideas. A few months ago I made mention on the Pulp Hero boards that I thought the PDF price was a bit steep for a product that contained only 154 pages. I was wrong. I should have worried less about page count, and considered the quality of what was contained in those pages. Thrilling place is a treasure trove of ideas. Dozens of adventures can be launched from the locales offered in this book. My favorite location is the Grant building, a once grand, ten story office building that serves a variety of businesses such as a private detective agency, a pulp magazine publisher, an insurance company, and of course, “Joe’s Diner” a ground floor restaurant which is a favorite dessert stop for a local mobster. Just reading through the various descriptions, a dozen adventures popped in my head. And it’s the same with just about every entry. All the pulp genres are covered in Thrilling Places- detective, crime fighter, weird science, lost world, exotic adventure, and more. Thrilling Places give the necessary Hero System stat blocks for all the major characters, but this supplement is invaluable no matter what adventure RPG system you choose. Thrilling Tales is definitely worth the price. Two thumbs Way Up!
  12. I just recieved a boxed Justice Inc. I had no idea that there were two printings of it. the one I have here has a catalog dated 1984. the difference is the cover of the J.I. Campaign book. I had the one with a bar scene with pulp icons,that included what I assume were Hero game staffers. this one I'm looking at today is a crowded bar scene with many of the same icons but without the hero staff. there may be other differences, but that one was the most obvious. Nothing earth shattering but a heads up for collectors and completists.
  13. Re: The ElDorado Directive There is an autobiography of Louis L'Amour called "Education of a wandering man" in which the author tells of his travels and self-education during the 20' and 30's. rather than a standard chronological biography, L'Amour reminices and discusses situations in his early life as a seaman, boxer, miner, longshoreman, aspiring pulp writer, etc. in one anecdote he was a caretaker of a silvermine in the mojave desert region, where he was stranded and had to make his way on foot through the desert to the nearest town. It may provide you with some of the flavor of the times. I found it very interesting when he wrote a bit about the "Hobo" culture of the period where men would ride the rails from town to town looking for jobs. Even though it's officially an autobiography, you can find the book in just about any used bookstore with a western section. Good luck on your game.
  14. Re: FASERIP Pulp a couple of folks have emailed me saying that they were having a problem seeing the PDF. instead of clicking the link, right click on it and choose the 'Save Target as' option (this in Explorer v6). This apparently will save the PDF in a format can be read. sorry for the trouble, I just made 2nd level as an internet Adept.
