Who Knows?
There are a series of Hero Pulp Essays by MARDLtransmit at Youtube, such as the first one above that introduces The Shadow. They also maintain a channel of their own devoted to the Pulps which includes a series of Hero Pulp Essays that are fun introductions to some of these classic and often overlooked/forgotten characters. ThePulp(dot)net site is also a handy collection-point of information on all things pulp and they maintain a fairly handy Forum that isn't overly crowded, if you're into that sort of thing. I just don't much care for forums, personally. Check out the video essays if you're at all interested in the old Pulp characters. It's a handy introduction for people who are just discovering them for the first time and it's very nice to have a resource like this on-hand. It might be fun and potentially useful to develop a similar sort of graphical introduction to the main NPCs, areas, core-concepts of an RPG setting like Trey's City, Urutsk, Planet Algol or Riskail...
Once we get things sorted-out after the coming unplanned move-everything-around session so that our ceiling can get fixed, and the computer gets inspected/vetted, we'll have to look into this Presentation/Introductory slide-show sort of thing. Might be fun...
