Hi all,
I have recently gained an interest in pulp RPGs and have read about several including Pulp Cthulhu, Two Fisted Tails, Adventure! And Hollow Earth Expedition. I want to buy one (just one) that can do pulp where the characters have some type of schtick. An example might be Indiana Jones and his whip, but it could be a nearly foolproof talent with knives, swords, trick shooting, etc. And I should be clear I am not looking just for the normal rules to use a sword or knife or even a whip (Because my favorite BRP does that); I am looking for rules to do over the top things with swords, knifes, whips, etc.…
How is this kind of thing handled in pulp games? Which are best for doing what I am describing? Which are best in general?
