Pulp Adventures: Thrilling Tales of the Gold Monkey RPG Page:

A Role Playing Game on RPOL.

This is a moderated roleplaying game dedicated to the Pulp genre, in the manner of Indiana Jones, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Nero Wolfe, The Mummy and the Shadow. The Rules system will be "d20 Modern" and "Thrilling Tales", rules very light. I'm in charge of NPCs, plotlines, scenes, and scene changes, and success determinations for PC actions, it is a moderated game. It is NOT D & D.

It has become more of a freeform game (after the character generation) and imagination is encouraged. This game has a plot and sub-plots, and will feature action, adventure, derring-do, swashbuckling, weird science and cliffhangers. But we stick very close to the nature of the character details.

So now that you have some idea of what's going on, you can PM me for a RTJ if you like the idea.  The game is set in 1925 in Miami, Florida. And the PCs will be normal human types with something extra about them, something that sets them apart from ordinary folks, some skill, item, or advantage that makes them 'special'. They are Advanced Class characters in the Pulp era, but not superheroes. Just 'special', in their own way.

This game is about the Good Guys & Gals (and the sort-of-borderline guys & gals).
