  1. Re: Pulp names and basics Red Rover - a rich globetrotting adventurer who wears a red domino mask and a red tuxedo. His calling card is the ace of diamonds.
  2. Re: A Game Of Questions I'm not sure. Do you have a coin to flip?
  3. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? My neighbors blasting their stereo at three in the morning.
  4. Re: A Game Of Questions I found it on YouTube. Didn't I? Edit: Did you just delete your first comment and substitute another? And if so, did you do it to make me look stupid?
  5. Re: A Game Of Questions Does this answer your question?
  6. Re: A Game Of Questions What's on second?
  7. Re: Pulp names and basics You're welcome. By the way, I found another site with even more shows and tons of episodes - over 12,000 - all for free. http://www.otr.net/
  8. Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? An episode of Frasier. The one where he accidentally destroys his dad's chair.
  9. Re: REH Archive Reminder! Now you're talking best character instead of best story. To which I say Solomon Kane. Or Kull. I can't decide.
  10. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow I found a site about zeppelins in GURPS that has several ideas about "vacuum lifting cells". http://dangermouse.net/gurps/zeppelin/vacuum.html
  11. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow I don't see why not. After all there's a lot of untapped potential. One of the things that irked me about the movie was the way Sky Captain's whole squadron was destroyed early on. I guess they did that so the film could concentrate on Sky Captain (name?) and Polly. But it still horrified me to see all the wasted possibilities. Setting a series before the movie or after the planes and zeppelins were replaced would open up a lot of storylines. New characters, bigger dogfights, more weird inventions, and living villains could all help make the series successful. Especially if the writer(s) take their cues from a great pulp series like G-8 And His Battle Aces.
  12. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow Wow, QuestionMan. How do you do it? By the way, thanks for the links. Anything about zeppelins...
  13. Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino You can find the Breckenridge Elkins stories at Wikisource. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Robert_E._Howard Now get to work.
  14. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow Awesome site. Being obsessed with zeppelins, I can't thank you enough. Aye aye, Captain. Thanks a lot, man. I nearly died laughing. You'll be hearing from my attorney.
  15. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow You're just trying to trick me into watching another zeppelin die. The sad thing is it's working.
  16. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow Actually, I haven't seen The Rocketeer. Maybe it's best that way.
  17. Re: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow Personally, I loved this movie. The only thing that really bothered me about it and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was the wholesale slaughter of zeppelins. "Oh, the humanity!"
  18. Re: Pulp names and basics Check out old time radio shows for characters like The Shadow, The Whistler, The Green Hornet, Johnny Dollar, Blue Beetle, The Green Llama, and others. As well as some great plot ideas. By the way, Lady Liberty sounds cool to me. Reminds me of American Maid from The Tick cartoon. P.S. You can listen to old radio shows for free at http://radiolovers.com/
  19. Re: REH Archive Reminder! Are you crazy? Letting people fight it out to decide which of Howard's stories is his best would lead to Armageddon. Or, more appropriately, Ragnarok.
  20. Re: Western Hero Resources Thanks for the links, QuestionMan. By the way, if anybody is looking for plots to use in their western games, I'd suggest Robert E. Howard and D.B. Newton. The End of the Trail is an anthology of Howard's weird and straight western stories that's filled with good ideas. You can also find some of his westerns, including the humorous Breckenridge Elkins stories, at Wikisource. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Robert_E._Howard The best of them is "The Vultures of Whapeton" but they're all good stories. As for D.B. Newton, his best book is Shotgun Guard. But he's written about fifty books so there's a lot of other material to draw from.
  21. Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino I'd like to add my vote for Gottfried von Kalmbach. Although he only appears in a single story, he's one of my favorite Howard characters. I also can't wait to see what you do with Breck Elkins, Susano. I tried turning him into a Deadlands character once and failed so I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
  22. Re: Robot Love Stories The story is "Helen O'Loy" by Lester del Rey. One of the finest science fiction stories ever written and one of my all-time favorites.
