Arth: Dime Adventures RPG

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Dinosaurs still roam forgotten corners of the land. Alien influences operate from the skies. Mystics wield ancient powers. Strange new sciences promise to change the world. The dead rise from the grave. All the while, modern movements sweep the globe, and bold explorers venture deep into the unknown or delve into forgotten ruins.

Dime Adventures is inspired by a wide variety of fiction, ranging from the pulp stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan, John Carter), Johnston McCulley (Zorro) and Robert E. Howard (Conan), to Victorian literature such as The Prisoner of Zenda, Dracula and Sherlock Holmes, from the classic science fiction of H. G. Wells (The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau) and Jules Verne (Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days), to more recent works, including Indiana Jones, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, The Mummy and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Yes, they believe in the "rule of cool" in regards to the design of the timeline. They have zombies, cryptids, and dinosaurs running loose as well...

Bear Cavalry? Technically speaking should be Ursury as Bear Cavalry means bears riding horses.

Apparently to make things weirder, the Holy Roman Empire rules over much of Europe, the Mongolian Empire still stretches throughout Central Asia, China colonized California and yes there are zombies and dinosaurs around the world:

No, but I saw it one day online and decided that it was too cool to pass up... I may have to create some TLs similar to it....

I thought ursury was stealing from bears?

So should we have an ATL designed along these lines in an effort to see what can happen? The idea being a turn of the century ATL with all the pulp elements from zombies to dinosaurs, and ruled by the "rule of cool"....

Alright gang!! I plan to revive this thread, but based on the following premise from Fringe (FOX-TV). Imagine what if there is an alternate world, similar to pulp fiction from the 1930s/ 1940s. By their version of 2023, the ATL would be colonizing the solar system, but still dealing with the threat of zombies and dinosaurs. Imagine that like in every good pulp story, they look at our world as a disappointment, and as such have decided to use our world for weapons experiments and smuggling....
