Pulp, Swashbuckling adventure, sci-fi, horror investigations, would all work.

Nothing to see here really. As I add Pulp!

As previously stated. Not a great leap up.

I'm thinking swashbuckling type adventure too - say C17th? Musketeers, Cardinal's Guards, roving bands of mercenaries. Maybe throw in the Spanish Inquisition, since no-one will be expecting it

I think that setting would work very well with the character of the rules at any rate.

As it was fan-published and free they demanded a large disclaimer statement be included and threatened legal action if we didn't. Given their current aggressive tactics I'm still expecting a cease & desist order to come rolling in.

So who will be first to create Her Majesty's special Gaming company, consisting of lawyers and accountants with the special Mystic Power 'Cease and Desist!' and the two handed Disclaimer cannon?

Seriously, a Cthulhu/Hammer Horror would be an easy shoe-in for the rules and could be done as a supplement to the current book. I don't know how the copyright would work as Lovecraft died in 1937 but then many of his creations involved vampires and ghouls. The other advantage of this genre is the sheer amount of figures available... It could even be set in a number of periods. Weapons and Items could be keyed to histyoprical availability, a bit like FOW with its early/middle/late war, so you might have Stuart Punk, Regency Punk, Steam Punk, Diesel Punk and Jet Punk for example. I don't think that would be as complicated as it seems as the horrors would be pretty timeless...

I've always wanted to commission some Pulp artwork...

Oh, Regencypunk etc! I was tempted to make my range Napoleonic or earlier (it sort of still is a bit) but knew I'd spend far too long indulging myself, sculpting fantastic hair dos and steam powered pantaloons....

I've been using ITEN for awhile for Fantasy, but like to see it get the IHMN treatment properly. I think IHMN is already borderline PUlp, and Pulp Alley is my choice for tat genre.

I know a few people who have those nowadays!

Pulp would seem to be the perfect fit. The swashing of buckle would also have a real charm going for it. A horror adventure element either on its own or to modify any of the above or IHMS would be excellent. I also like TEHET's period-punk idea.

Thinking about it. You do it, I'll buy it.

The darn engine is so flexible, it really could apply in many settings.

I would think the 17th Century would be a natural: Piracy, Musketeers, the 30 years war, the ECW.

Heck, I think it would be incredible, and potentially even more popular than the current version. Oh my gosh, I just pictured how it would be with the fantastic Northstar figures being the groups!

Witchfinder general? Ala, AEG's folk horror project.

We are already using IHMN for Pulp mash-ups. A dedicated Pulp book would be welcome.

Aircraft, rocket-packs and more vehicles please.
