	Cinemarquee - Pulp Heroes
		We Pulp Book Writers and Filmmakers are creators of worlds, dreammakers and sculptors of the imaginary, carving characters and worlds out of thought, and bringing forth through the magic of illusion...that which might be, and for 300 pages of precious time...is...

	Hero System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hero System is the overarching name given to the generic rules underlying the Hero Games role-playing games such as Champions, Dark Champions, Fantasy Hero, Star Hero, and Pulp Hero.
		Hero Games, at the time of this writing, have released a Revision of its Fifth Edition of the Hero System.

	1948: Signals Campaign
		Pulps became replaced by the comic books which led to characters with all sorts of "powers" such as Superman and that is NOT what we are discussing.
		Pulp heroes were often larger than life but were still human.
		We are adapting this into the campaign by saying that many of the pulp characters existed in some fashion (although many tales may have been exaggerated by their raconteurs- as were the tales of Western Heroes like Wyatt Earp a generation before) but most are gone now.

		The Shadow was originally the announcer of the radio show, Detective Stories, whose plots were taken from a pulp magazine of the same title published by Street and Smith Publications in the 1930s.
		In the original pulp series his real identity was Kent Allard, famous aviator, and "Lamont Cranston" was merely his most common disguise.

	Brian Misiazsek's Introduction to the Pulps
		Heroes of pulp magazines were cast in a mould of nobility and bravery, the final product perhaps a little tarnished and rough around the edges, but still with a core that was solid, rare and pure.
		Pulp writers were all the time coming up with scientific and non-scientific "what if?" scenarios, and then exploring the consequences of such things as gravity-nullifying metals, etheric engines, mind-controlling radio-frequencies, elements not found on any periodic table, invasions from other worlds, broadcast power, and so on.
		It was quite common for pulp heroes of this more style of adventure to stumble on a Lost World setting whose native inhabitants are in the middle of a civil war or have the PC heroes presence push a previously tense situation over the edge to war.

		At some point, the unlikely but still somewhat realistic pulp hero gave way to a wild explosion of variants on the concept of men and women gifted with abilities more suited to the cast of ancient pagan legend and more modern fairy tales.
		The tools and dangers that the comics pulp hero enjoyed stayed within such things as fists, clubs, knives, pistols, fljacks, a bomb or two, and the betrayals of wanton women.
		The crimefighting hero, in his person, combined with the crusading reporter, and again with the traveler from space.

	RPGnet: Review of Pulp HERO
		Pulp adventurers were usually independently wealthy (as one of Long’s sources puts it: ‘It was no game for a poor man’) and had little interest in romance (this was part of them being shallow, action-oriented characters).
		Generally, though, Pulp is romantic in the sense that it is both optimistic and action-oriented, presenting the message that heroic people can directly struggle against evil and make the world better- and that the eagerness to directly struggle with evil is a primary sign of heroic character (i.e.

	A Brief History of Science Fiction & Pulp Magazines
		These "pulp magazines", originating with The Argosy in the 1890's, had grown and multiplied during the first 30 years of the 20th century, and by 1930 there were hundreds of titles, many "sf" oriented, many general adventure, western and air-war, some "spicy", some "love," and many "hero" or character centered.
		By 1938 radio and motion pictures were occupying much of the old pulp reading public, and pulp magazine publishers were worried about lagging sales at newsstands.
		There was a brief revival of interest in pulp magazines in the early 1940's but by 1947, pulp readers were turning to Ballantine and Ace "paperbacks", and by 1954 all the pulps were gone.
