Game Summary

Pulp Hero is Hero Games' genre sourcebook for none other than the pulp genre, particularly the sort with lost temples, two-fisted adventurers and all that jazz.

The meat of the book is exhaustive examination of the evolution of the pulp genre, including how and to what end stories were written and printed, tropes and all that, plus how character traits can be translated into HERO terms, resulting in fun powers like Getta Load'a Her! and I Know How to Do That.

4 + 5James Gillen. "Snakes... why'd it have to be snakes?"
4 + 5The Metal Pope. Pulp Hero is, quite simply, an excellent supplement. Virtually anything one can think of is covered and the artwork is – again – of superior quality.
