I just uploaded two character files (pdf and hdc) for Brian "Coffin" Kirk and his ever-present sidekick, Tank. Arch Whitehouse wrote these aviation pulp characters for Flying Aces magazine. Seven stories were eventually published, which you can read on the Age of Aces website: "Vulture's Vortex" from Flying Aces, v27 #3, October 1937 "Skyguns of Singapore" from Flying Aces v29 #3, June 1938 "Scourge of the Steel Eagles" from Flying Aces v30 #3, October 1938 "Clue of the Breda Brood" from Flying Aces v32 #1, April 1939 “Hawks From the Smoke” from Flying Aces v33 #1, August 1939 "Balloons For a Breda" from Flying Aces v36 #1, August 1940 “Fate Flies the Breda” from Flying Aces v38 #3, June 1941 I haven't done up any of "Coffin" Kirk's planes, because he usually crashes them. In five out of seven stories, he crashes the plane he got last adventure at the beginning and steals a different one from the bad guys by the end. I will admit, I didn't think I'd enjoy the stories, but I wanted to see what the aviation pulps were about; I usually prefer weird pulp heroes with quirks. Well, this guy's got them in spades! Two pages into the first story and I knew I was going to have to read the rest of them! It's not much of an investment anyway, they're pretty short and there's only a few of them!

"Coffin" Kirk and Tank View File Here is a writeup for Brian "Coffin" Kirk and his ever-present sidekick, Tank. "Coffin" Kirk (so-named for his dead-pan stare) appeared in seven stories in Flying Aces magazine (October 1937 to June 1941). Written by Arch Whitehouse, the "Coffin" Kirk stories detail his battles against the evil Circle of Death in the skies over various parts of the world.

Is there anyone on here in the UK with a copy of Pulp HERO 5th that might be for sale, or know of a store near them with a copy. Does the store have any copies hidden away that are not listed in the Store section, only the PDF (which I have) which my other alternative is to get printed.

I was looking over the Wikipedia pages regarding air combat maeuvers (such as the famous barrel roll), and was intrigued enough to consider building a set of maneuvers (and porting them to my Traveller Hero game). However, I am not an aerobatics nerd, and would not probably be qualified to assign numbers to these. Has anybody else worked up aircraft maneuvers (dogfighting or otherwise)?

So, I know Hero Games just started a big Kickstarter, but per this review, the Forces of Darkness are already sniffing around the excellent Grimnoir Chronicles for another game system that must not be named!

When a notable person displeased crime lord Big-eared Tu (Tu Yueh-sheng of Shanghai's Green Gang, the most powerful man in China), he made a practice of sending a coffin to the offender's home. Reparations were hasty.
