This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

First I've heard of "Pulp Crawl Classics." Is this a product under development or something home-brew?

Not a game, just a Zine to use DCC to run Pulp adventures. If life doesn't get in the way the Funnel for Cyber Sprawl Classics will be done next week, and maybe the first Issue of the Zine the week after that.

Yeah, that's how those things start -- nice and simple, short pamphlet or 'zine -- then you put out several and decide to reorganize the material, then it starts to balloon up and you have a full-blown thing instead of an add-on thing. ;)

Sounds fun, though, and I'll be watching its progress!

Never thought of junkie as an "occupation!" But okay, maybe for period flavour, change " junkie" to "dope fiend"

Ain't that the truth! I'm already thinking I'll need a 'Zine for Space Pulp :eek:

Yep, thought it sounded like fun, and will need to add on some mechanics to better emulate the Pulps.

It's just the very early stages, things will change (A lot probably), and stuff like Dope Fiend might end up in a different place or altogether removed.

I think athelete might be a good occupation, and maybe radio personality. You could have a character with like a conspiracy show or something.
