WELCOME TO PROJECT 1557!
The Collaborative Repository of Pulp Information for Pulp RPG GMs and Players
On the Yahoo Groups Pulp_Games newsgroup, the idea was raised some time ago to construct a quasi-encyclopedic Pulp RPG resource and reference work, a sort-of "Whole Pulp Catalog" as a means of collating together useful information for persons interested in the Pulp RPG genre,which would not be tied to any one particular RPG system or background setting.The idea was first raised in message #1557, hence the name of this project.
After some initial discussion, and a long hiatus, it was thought that a collaborative "Clipping Service" of interesting information of the historical "Pulp Era", factual essays, inspirational material, and home-brew resources would be an efficient way to both collect and disseminate this information.
This Pulp Wiki Page created on June 13th 2003 is one attempt to do this, and everyone is free to not only add new material, but also to help enhance the organization and appearence of the connected network of pages.
You can do this all by yourself, with no input from others, by simply steering to and editing and adding yourselves the pages you wish to improve and augment. Please tell us who is contributing this information if you add a new page (ie. put your name in the "save by" box!), and it is always more effective to have an introductory line or even paragraph on a brand new page ifs you are just providing a listing of links.
Pulp relevent information for this project should contain background material for the time period 1920-1949 (with material outside this era posted on the pages dedicated to Other Eras).

Hey Everybody!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be running the continuing adventures of Slipstream at Pandemonium game store in Garden City, Michigan this Sunday, July 5, from 3PM to 8PM. Slipstream is a pulp science fiction setting using the Savage Worlds RPG rule set. A strange man in 1932 funded the construction of a rocketship called Achilles. The designer of the plans, Dr. Mathias Feeny, has gone missing to Mars with one of the earlier rockets he built. The Achilles has been dispatched on a mission to Mars and has accidentally entered the Slipstream. Slipstream is a space pulp setting reminiscent of the black and white Saturday morning serials of the 1930s. Think Flash Gordon. Put aside all foolish thoughts of such things as the immutable laws of physics, Faster-Than-Light drives, and the hard vacuum of space, and revel in the rocketship and ray gun reality that governs Slipstream. This isn’t your typical hard sci-fi game; you’ll be in the midst of two-fisted action packed battles! The Slipstream is a pocket universe reached only by passage through a black hole. Every black hole in our universe has a branch tunnel to Slipstream. Conventional 21st century science has it that matter sucked into a black hole is destroyed; not even light can escape the terrible force of destruction. Well, conventional science isn’t always right. All of you are invited to participate. New and old players are welcome to enter the fantastic realm of Slipstream. Please take a moment to let me know if you will be participating so I can make plan accordingly.
