Inspired initially by discussions in the Saturday Alternators Book Club for RPG players, then finally and fruitfully inspired into actual production by Menion aka Rob of Confessions of a Wee Tim'rous Bushi and his callers and guests, this episode explores thoughts on pulp heroic characters and explores some of my connections with these stories in life and gaming. What pulps were "my" pulps? Aren't pulps problematic? Aren't pulp characters set and unchanging (and by extension unrelatable, uninteresting, and unbelievable)? Can such characters be presented in RPG terms? What is the point of playing such characters?

Sound interesting? Then please strap in: this turned out to be a long one... go figure.
