I will write it for them! Or license my game for them to us. OR BOTH.

I actually know one company who’s potentially interested in a Darkplace RPG, and who have media contacts…

Interesting. Do you know the title the author is using for the game now, or what is his name is? My google-fu might be able to pick up the trail.

Ah, yes… Pulp Era. Now there’s a name that I haven’t heard for a very long time…

Pulp Era was available at MMT about…oh, eight years ago? It has since been turned into a full-fledged RPG by its original creator. I have no idea what its current status is.

Hello, I came upon this blog/site following a thread which about a free pulp rpg called “pulp era”, but I don’t see any mention of it around the site. Is it still available? Thanks!

Oh, and another thing! Since the “original” Darkplace game was packaged with a cassette tape of musical cues (it was!), then we’d have to have downloads available for people to grab mp3′s of the Darkplace theme and stings.

Not even photos… like, sketchy B&W line art based on photo stills of the show!

But YES I had the same idea and so want to do this. I wonder if we can get a cheap-o license for it?

As for the system, I’d make it deliberately clunky and awful but still engaging and entertaining.

It’s not an RPG… it’s a “tactical dreamweaving experience” or, TDE for short.

I really want to do a Darkplace book, where the gimmick is that it was licensed during the original run of the show. Hence, lots of grainy photos, a layout from the 80s, and a deliberately clunky system.
