Theme tune
« on: January 25, 2008, 12:29:24 PM »
I am about to start running a Pulp 1930's RPG game, I wanted to start each gaming session with a theme tune and me re-capping what had happened in the previous session/story line.

So any suggestions ?

I'm with Col Stone, the Indy march is instantly recognisable and everybody can hum along :lol:

Whenever I hear the Dick Barton theme now, all I can think of is Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

I prefer Harlem Nocturne as performed by Maynard Ferguson (it was also used as the theme to the Mike Hammer TV show in the 80s).

Ah, there may be method in her seeming madness - the 'Dick Barton' tune is actually a piece of music called 'The Devil's Gallop' !!!
