After Action Reports from The Front
Concepts:
Captain George, or just George, a character for the inevitable non-Star Trek sci-fi campaign that I’ll end up running.
Or some guy that the Pulp Heroes stumble upon. Man of Tomorrow, or just some crackpot?
The Baron, who will more than likely be the big bad who The Tiger Beetle and Jazz Bungo test their mettle against in the coming days.

I’m relying too heavily on the random tables in my Captain’s Log campaign.
I need to set up some plot points or even a story arc that I want my character to follow.
And I’ll need to do something similar for any of the other solo RPGs that I start playing, too.
For now, I’ll have Excalibur return though the spatial rift and have them encounter a…
Now that would be telling.
Meanwhile, I’m coming up with ideas for Savage Worlds Pulp, including the big bad that The Tiger Beetle and Jazz Bungo will be fighting throughout the campaign.

I was flipping through the Pulp Fantastic and came across the Archetypes section, and one popped out me:
MASKED AVENGER
And that settled it. I was gonna make a Green Hornet/Crimson Avenger tribute character, with a twist.
A Filipino playboy and his African-American valet/chauffer by day, scourge of the underworld at night!
Introducing….
THE TIGER BEETLE AND JAZZ BUNGO
I looked up insects of the Philippines, and the tiger beetle jumped out at me.
I mean, no color in the character’s name, which is fine (though tiger beetles come in black, brown and green) but OF COURSE I’m gonna take a beetle name.
And yes, that’s a saxophone on Jazz Bungo’s back.
I’ll work out all the character details later.
CRIMINALS, BEWARE! THE TIGER BEETLE STRIKES!
Remember when I said I was going to shelve Savage Worlds and focus on Dragonbane, Captain’s Log, and Dungeons & Dragons with the Mythic Game Master Emulator?
Well, 1 out of 3 was accomplished.
And while I still do plan on starting Dragonbane and Dungeons and Dragons, I’m re-adding Savage Worlds Adventure Edition to the mix, using Pulp Fantastic as the setting.
Along with The One Ring.
In the last month or so I’ve been delving into reaction videos for The Lord of the Rings, and *tried* to continue watching Rings of Power. The latter never got done, and after reviewing the game system, I’m going to play The One Ring with Strider Mode, the solo system for TOR.

As much as I wanted to ignore this system for now, I simply couldn’t after the 20th Anniversary package from Kickstarter arrived today.
And, I think I’ve decided on the setting/genre I wan to play with this system.
It came to me as I was washing my hands in the bathroom and saw this shirt in the mirror.
I checked online to see if there was a pulp setting for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, and came up with this.
So after I finish with the ending for the Star Trek: Excalibur pilot episode, I’ll be reading up on this system and setting.
