Nick, Darin and JJ are back with our quick take on a classic Pulp radio drama. This little appetizer is just to whet your whistle before diving into the main course. This time we carve into the Pulp Genre using the COMIC Continuum to describe it and dish out a helping of Absurd Encounters to finish things off. So what are you waiting for? Dig in!

JJ and Nick (better known as Working Man and Cybernrd) are back with a whole new volume of superhero gaming goodies. To shake things up we’ve changed our format a bit, added a new host Darin (Celephais from The Inner Circle podcast) and kick things off with a new tool for players and GMs to better describe their super-heroic game setting: the COMIC Continuum. Finally, we cap the show off by using the COMIC Continuum to lay the groundwork for Default superhero genre.

Future shows will discuss Pulp, Golden Age, Silver Age, Street Level and Cosmic Genres. Each genre will first be introduced with our COMIC Continuum rating and then delve into one aspect of that genre. After that we’ll rotate through the genres bringing you two episodes a month: one on the Default setting and one focusing on a different genre mentioned above.

So make sure your mask is on straight, your cape and cowl pressed, your boots shined and ready to go ‘cuz it’s up, up and away!
