Dr. Dusk Debuts!

Dr. Dusk, the newest New Pulp hero from Runemaster Pulp debuts today on Fourstory.org
Over at his blog (http://www.pulp.runemasterstudios.com/2011/12/dr-dusk-debut.html) Mike Bullock introduced us to his newest creation, Dr. Dusk.

In what has now become affectionately known as “The Age of Adventure,” mystery men patrolled the streets of our bustling cities, stalking the shadows and preying on those who would harm innocent citizens. Doctor Dusk, one such man of mystery, walked the line between order and lawlessness. As the stories go, the man who became Dusk had experimented on himself until he was able to unlock his body’s peak physical potential, making him faster, stronger and more agile than any normal man could ever dream of becoming. Armed with two modified 1911 Colt .45s that fired special rounds, and his heightened physical prowess, the Doctor quickly became the scourge of the underworld.

Table Talk – Counting Words and Runaway Tales

The wonderful thing about creating stories is the often limitless nature of creating things. There are no boundaries, nothing a creator cannot do in the name of making up a great tale. However, this can often lead to pitfalls and unforeseen circumstances. This week, we check in on Barry Reese, Bobby Nash and Mike Bullock as they discuss applying some structure and what to do when the story bleeds over the lines.

Table Talk – Questions from the Readers 1.0

As you may have seen, last week we opened up Table Talk to questions from the readers at the request of C. William Russette. While a few crickets chirped briefly, the questions did start rolling in. Now, Barry Reese, Bobby Nash and Mike Bullock have answered the first two reader questions, while discussing the merits of removing limbs from a certain New Pulp character the three of them know and love.
Recently, a reader of the Table Talk columns asked if Barry Reese, Bobby Nash, and Mike Bullock would answer questions from readers. Well, the guys liked the idea so much they’ve decided to open this up to all the fine readers of newpulpfiction.com. Today marked the first installment of the column with reader questions. Due to the positive feedback, we want to keep this going.
