Where To Discuss Tarzan?

[Cacique Caribe]

Hello everyone!

I recently posted a topic about Tarzan in the Pulp discussion board:

However, should I have posted it in the Colonial Adventures board instead?  Basically, where do discussions about Tarzan really belong?

Let the respective moderators duke it out between them. My money is on Prof. Witchheimer at the Pulp Board. He's got a wicked left uppercut.

I'd say Pulp, as that's more the genre the stories were written in, but there's no reason why he can't appear in Colonial.

I don't think too many people would complain either way

Yes, Tarzan is what, 1930's? So pulp really. Whereas 'Darkest Africa' more broadly is generally late 19th / early 20th Century, hence 'Colonial'. Then of course there's Great War in Africa which is probably WWI properly, but often feels more like 'Darkest Africa' and so 'Colonial', and so on... 

Plynkes will know. He knows everything to do with Africa.

Tarzan of the Apes began in Argosy magazine in 1912.  The character has appeared in pretty much every time period since.

Good question.

I bought one a while ago.  When it's painted it will go into the Colonial board here, and my Darkest Africa gallery on my Website.  (Now I wonder if it should be in Pulp... )

CC's in the house!

What's up?


You would love my 54mm Dulcop Tarzan playset.  Has like 50 native porters.   And, over the top Zulus, great white hunters, animals, and Tarzan with a knife!

Be a rebel and stick it in the Old West board.

Well, here's a timeline of Tarzan's life (according to the novels):

Most of his activity takes place from around the start of WWI to around the end of WWII.

I met Ron Eli, BTW.  Really nice guy, loved animals, very charitable.

  He  had a large ranch house  in West Palm Beach, right next to "Lion Contry Safari", the drive through African Animal preserve, curiously.  That's the place where people roll down their car windows (which is against the park's rules) and get eaten by lions every year or so.   (we always let the giraffe poke his head inside the car, and eat snacks we offered up.

Timelines be damned. Colonial Adventures' remit includes the 20th Century. All of it.




Equally,



It's not worth worrying about: Whichever you like, Dan. Won't move them if you put them in here. Won't be offended if you don't. That's my rulin'.

Venn for the win!

Great work, Dylan.

Thanks, guys!

I would say depends on the scenario.  You could have a colonial fight going on in the jungle where Tarzan unexpectedly shows up.  You could also have a WW1 fight happening in Africa in which Tarzan shows up.  Or you could have a Pulp scenario in which Tarzan is the protagonist.  There were Edgar Rice Burroughs books in which Tarzan travelled to Pelucidar (center of the earth), in one via a German zeppelin.  So you could have Tarzan as a main character in something similar to Victorian Sci-Fi, even though Tarzan is technically post Victorian.
