One of the Official Series Bible series. You will need the main document for this. In this TV series you are part of a group of pulp-era adventurers. Set your dials to 1920s to 1940s, from action hero to powers-of-the-mind masked crime fighters.

An interesting product from Asparagus Jumpsuit, in a fairly original format. This "Series Bible" establishes the details of a specific campaign, centered around the eponymous Knights of Torque & Recoil and their nemesis, the Yellow Perilla Cult. It breaks down each organization and their goals, as well as important characters from each, and the types of roles that the players could play within the campaign. It has enough to go off of if you wanted to play this kind of campaign, but not so much that your own ideas can't be fully inserted into the premise. If you're dry for campaign ideas, it might be worth a look. It's nicely put together and evokes a pulp action premise well, if in a somewhat formulaic fashion (though that seems to be the appeal of pulp). This Series Bible is system agnostic, so you could run it using your favorite RPG.

Another great system-less release from Asparagus Jumpsuit. In Knights of Torque and Recoil, you are given everything you need for a modern/pulp setting where an ancient organization plots revenge. In six short pages, you are given a brief history of the setting; provided with some factions who compete (or at least interact with) each other; given typical roles that players might fill; given some sample NPC style important people for the setting; and quite a few adventure starters (here's the situation, what will you do type of stuff. It is up the the GM to flesh it all out).

It should be noted that you will probably also want the Series Bible free book from Asparagus Jumpsuit as well. Some of the information provided uses labels such as "average" that might make better sense (or at least require a little less work for the GM), if you have read the Series Bible.

This is well worth the slim buck it will cost you. If you are like me and hate to charge anything less than $10, you can use this to pad out another order very easily. You wil probably be glad if you did.

In full disclosure, I do know the creator (even if we have never met in person), but I really enjoy books like this where you are given enough to go and do what you want with a setting and aren't tied down to a specific storyline. I believe that you will enjoy Knights of Torque and Recoil.

Very cool. The tone has just the right amount of quirk and I like the potential for blurring the line between the heroes' "real" exploits and their mass-marketed personae. Nice and pulpy with a modern edge, it's got sinister cults and their beastman minions versus two-fisted celebrity heroes with science(!) on their side and legions of blogospherical fanboys. It makes me want to play.

Wow! I can port this into Savage Worlds (my system of choice) pretty easily. Keep up the good work.
