Book Overview

By and large the world of Forbidden Kingdoms is very much like our own. The timeline for the setting spans the 50 years from 1889 to 1939 and captures the full reign of the pulp era. We've set the stage on an alternate Earth that is full of what if possibilities. Forbidden Kingdoms is a world that still has the spark of adventure in it, where you can still traverse the darkest parts of Africa in search of hidden caches of treasure or stop the World Crime League from taking over the world. It is a place where Good vs. Evil is as simple as black and white, and where the seed of crime does indeed bear bitter fruit. The world in which we live is oftentimes an angry place filled with strife, angst, depression, and malice. Travel with us back to a time when life was easier and all you needed was a trusty .45 and a good right hook. Forbidden Kingdoms is the first pulp world for the d20 system.

A very intriguing setting

At first I only had this product in PDF form, and I now have the print version. Now that you have that perspective, I can begin the review. I applaud Hyrum for making a Modern/Pulp setting based off of D & D. Not that there's anything wrong with d20 Modern, per se, I just feel that basing it off D & D is better for this particular setting. Psionics: As a long time role player, I have seen several versions of psionic mechanics...

Great basis for pulp adventures, albeit some quirks

First things first: The FK-book comes in a nice and handy format with high quality illustrations. I wish other publishers would consider the same format. It is an easier read in the comfy chair, and does not take up the entire gaming table. The chapters on the steam-punk and nazi-thug ages are most entertaining, setting the scenery and delivering some good points of inspiration. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with...
