    Default Pulp Game with an Adventurer's club!

    So I'm going to be running a d20 past game with a heavy pulp influence. Set in 1936 with nazis (cause every game is better when you get to kill nazis), ancient treasures, mad scientists, the works. My main hook to this game is that all the PCs are members of an explorers/adventurers club. One reason for this is so that my guys and I can take turns DMing an adventure with different characters stepping in and stuff. I'm looking for any tips I can get of course, but specifically I'm trying to find a name for this adventurers club. I want it to be something that is also an acronym, so it's got a cool ring when they say "we should all meet at _____ ". The words I wanted were things like league, club, society, adventures, explorers, discovery, etc... I appreciate the help.

    Well, the perfect name would be M.U.N.C.H.K.I.N.G.!

    Cool. I like the spade one. I may try that. Any other ideas. How about plot hooks? I have in mind an amazon congo style adventure, a casablanca city type story, and a game where basically I plan on tricking them into just playing clue...

    You've got to get an enemy organization called H.E.A.R.T. or D.I.A.M.O.N.D.
    Heroic Explorers and Regional Travellers... Not so menacing...
