194X (alpha)

The year is 194X, and anything is possible! While the marvels of airplanes and radio signals connect the world to a greater degree than ever before, there’s no shortage of adventure to find - and peril to thwart! As daring, two-fisted Heroes of the pulp era, no evil scientist, immortal sorcerer, or dinosaur-man stands a chance against you in this, the greatest crossover serial yet!

194X is a game of pulp adventure in a radio-age Earth that never was, powered by Jason Tocci's 24XX system; you play as two-fisted action Heroes, traveling the globe in pursuit of thrills and peril! This game is in an alpha state, subject to change and more than a little ugly: these documents are currently pre-layout, with a placeholder cover. 

• Core! has the base rules for character creation and play in the game's default mode.
• Supplemental! adds 3 optional systems (The Vessel and The Refuge, potential "home bases" for your Heroes, and The Patron, a choice of three organizations to serve), along with 3 alternate settings (rocket pirates and planetary romance in Princex of the Stardust Sea!, vampire-hunting noir in Hard-Boiled Blood!, weird war in Operation ROCK SALT!) that add new Gear and Talents.

While 194X leans on familiar tropes of the era that inspired it, no actual Earth names or locations are used, to try and avoid repeating so much of the harm done by the 'classics' of the genre; it's inspired by loving homages like Hellboy and The Mummy.
