I'll update the above as I can.

For all you Pulpsters out there , heres a few Things to Come I'm planning for later:

Elephant Guns, Autogyros, Earthquake machines, Fiendish Oriental Cults, Deadly Horrors, Dinosaurs, Chiffhangers and of course Zeps !!! 


 

[Krensky]

Elephant Guns, Earthquake machines, Fiendish Oriental Cults, Deadly Horrors, Dinosaurs, Chiffhangers and of course Zeps !!!   

Elephant guns are in the new guns thread. Well, the .600 Nitro-Express double rifle is.
Earthquake machines can be done by looking at the Weather Control gadget and drawing parallels to the earthquake complication.
Deadly Horrors are in Fragile Minds
Dinosaurs are in the animal download and there's a pile in the various NPC threads.
Zepplins, I think there's one in the main rule book... I know there's a blimp.

Ah, the stupid revolver. 
It's good that someone can remember what's been done on that thread.

Well, I was more referring to the first half of the post... But I will say that the revolver does show up in my steampunk game with a different grip as a lorkim degen armor sidearm or with a shoulder stock, slightly longer barrel and foregrip. A super heavy carbine, as it were.

Fantastic, Mr K. I'm on my way to check them out. Starting to move up a gear on this Pulp thing now, thanks to you guys assistance.  

Ah, the Elephant gun/Nitro-Express rifle, just made for shooting Big Game and even Dinosaurs !!!! No weapon says Pulp more to me than that beauty, except maybe the Webley Revolver. http://www.theraider.net/features/articles/webley.php

In the first Doc Savage yarn, The Man of Bronze (and in the film of the same name), there is a brilliant scene where Doc and his men are meeting at the top of his Skyscraper. An assassin from an ancient civilization shoots at them with a Nitro-Express from a nearby Building. Bullet goes through thick glass window and embeds several inches into brick wall !!!.
Doc and co are saved by special refractive glass he created which makes objects appear to be several inches from where they actually are. They give chase. And thats just the Opening Scene !!!

Ah, the Webley Revolver... 

For me, it's the Colt 1911 or the Colt Police Positive.

Ok then, before we dive too deeply into Gear the PCs, lets finish off Classes, Skills and Feats.

I'll run through the rulesbook this weekend and add Class abilities to the PCS above. Skills should be straight forward too. Feats ditto.

One of the characters, Count Zarnov, uses Psionics and I'm trying to apply the SFA Psionics Conversions to this. I like the idea (Mr Andersons ??) of a single Psionic Skill with the individual powers as Foci.

So I think the Count would want Telepathy (to read evil mens minds), Body Sculpting (to cloud baddies minds), Dominion (to control their minds) and maybe some form of Telekinesis.

His Talent gives him access to Psionic Skill and a Foci of a particular tag (say the Imprint tag). I know how to get more foci but how do I gain the other tags (say Sensory, Telekinetic) ?

Any answers gratefully received.
