Exploration of the lost world/Pulp Adventure Game Anonymous 2017-01-12 12:06:38 Post No. 51154967 [Report]

Alright, so I'm trying to prepare a Lost World Novel/Pulp Adventure Comic story game in which I have a party of players as a team on an expedition, and so far I've gotten most of the world-building down pat.

>Players work for the Admiral Beauregard Winthrop Museuzoologeoquarium + Lab, a massive Scientific Complex, which is run by one Colonel Victor Winthrop, a weirdly reclusive big-game hunter and science enthusiast.
>World is like 3 times as big and unknown as ours, at minimum
>Dieselpunk, just about the late 30s, early 40s aesthetic, with some anachronisms + air-ships (always necessary)
>Going into deep jungles you might find dinosaurs, cat-men with bat wings, or even gold-plated ancient civilizations
>So on and so forth

So, I need some help. I'm going to give the party a Doc Savage style "Doctor + Man's Man" helper NPC/DMPC solely for when they get stuck, and I need a proper name and personality for him.
I also need help deciding a proper bad guy-- should it be an enemy collective, like another museum-thing, or just one adventurer who's far more competent than them that keeps taking things before they get there?

>Colonel Victor Winthrop

Shouldn't that be Colonel Victor Winthrop-Blythewaiteminster?

I like this. I've been wanting to run a RC D&D game with this kind of background but in medieval low fantasy. Getting sent to obtain artifacts for museums, hunt down rumors of an ancient wonder by a geographic society, etc.

What references are you using? besides Indiana Jones

Old Doc Savage comics I've read through, the bits of the Jumanji Movie which involved the jungle and Van Pelt, some older marvel comics that involve the savage land and Ulysses Bloodstone, as well as some books like King Solomon's Mines.
