For Science!: A common motivation for villainous MadScientists (and some heroic ones). Hollywood History: The Roaring ’20s and The Great Depression, with elements of Genteel Interbellum Setting. Love Triangle: Jet Black loves Sally Slick, who only has eyes for Mack Silver. Mad Scientist: A common antagonist for the players. Pulp Magazine: The inspiration for the game The Roaring ’20s: The game’s default year is 1922. Two Fisted Tales: Spirit of the Century fully embraces the “pulp” equals over the top adventure stereotype. A Villain Named Khan: One of the sample antagonists is the evil conqueror Gorilla Khan, an uplifted gorilla although his cape and helmet make him look more Roman than Mongol.
