  2. Re: Digital HERO #35 Forgive him, Master, his brain is mush from designing Thrilling Places. (And if he asks me again for a Turkish girl's name, I may just smack him one. ) Mary Ann
  3. Re: Pulp Hero Resources Don't know if this has been posted before, but... For calculating the "worth" of a dollar in any year between 1665 and 2003, try http://eh.net/hmit/ppowerusd/ Mary Ann
  4. Re: [Review] Masterminds & Madmen The house will no longer be large enough to hold his ego. I've been lucky enough to play in his Pulp Hero campaign for thirteen years (I came in on the second scenario - in fact, it's how we met). He GM's as well as he writes. Mary Ann

    Pulparize It!

    Re: Pulparize It! (slightly OT) I vaguely remembered something about this from the book "The Holy Grail" by Justin Griffin and went looking on the 'net. It's a Jewish burial tradition having to do with blood shed after death being unclean and having to be buried with the body. There's an article about it at www.shroud2000.com/articlespapers/article-Jewishburial.html

    In The Mood

    Re: In The Mood My husband Rob (our Pulp GM) and I put together a couple of CDs of appropriate "mood" music for Pulp games. Will there be anything like this (a list rather than a CD. Although that would be nice, it would probably involve nasty copyright issues) in The Pulp Hero Resources book? Or perhaps merely a listing or "imspiring" music and/or films and/or books, released as an HPA-like product?
  8. Re: Victorian Hero (Sorta) Victorian HERO? Yes, please! I tried running Castle Falkenstein. Loved the setting; hated the system.
  9. Re: Women in Pulp adventures? Take a look at http://www.blackmask.com . In their Pulp Fiction section, you'll find Grace Culver (a "pioneering woman detective"), Pat Savage (Doc's cousin), Nellie Gray (from the original Justice, Inc.!), Nita van Sloan (The Spider's girlfriend), and many others. Or http://www.thrillingdetective.com/eyes.html (Tough Guys and Private Eyes) Not all of those listed are appropriate, but some are. http://www.thrillingdetective.com/trivia/triv138.html Female detectives And from another point of view.... Amelia Peabody Emerson (from Elizabeth Peters' series. The later books are set after WWI, but she's pretty Pulp-ish in even the early ones.)
  10. Re: Where's Amelia Earhart? As far as her 1928 flight is concerned, no. No more of a big deal than the contents of first crate of cargo to be flown over the Atlantic. My argument is not that Earhart wasn't a famous woman pilot; my original disagreement was with the statement that Amelia is *more* PULP than Beryl.
