This book in the Books of Random Tables series is geared toward fun pulp from the 1920s and 1930s. Random tables help game masters add details and give players interesting play options.

The first section is Items & Things. Here are helpful tables for when players wish to search every room or location from top to bottom. Also, some tables include period items as well. These add a touch of realism to the RPG. The next is Trains. Lots of pulp adventures involved trains. These tables offer insight for GMs when crafting a train adventure or rolling one up from scratch with train cars and historic rail lines.

The Names section contains a variety of names from the time period as well as names for NPCs. Find tables with common names from the era and fictional big game hunters, mobsters, and more. The Public Domain Super Heroes section is unique. These are the names of comic book heroes from the 1920s and 30s that have lapsed into the public domain. Game masters are free to use these superheroes however they wish without concern about copyright infringement.

The last section is Adventures & Encounters. The tables in this section are made up of rumors, story hooks, encounters, and more to help create adventures on the fly or light the fires of creativity. With these random tables, your imagination, and your players, you can take your pulp-style role-playing game campaign to new heights. Enjoy!
