1920s space flight? Stephen Baxter had a British astronaut from an alternate world state that the first manned orbital flight lifted off from Ceylon in the twenties; just suppose that the British Interplanetary Society had been formed a decade or so earlier, and had gotten financial backing (I'll put up links to stuff if anyone is interested). One plea: keep it fairly plausible: please use rockets, of "pulp" performance if you must, but not anti-gravity; that's already catered for with "Space:1889" and the like. I really like the idea of 1920s spaceflight; I could game out the whole history of the exploration of the pulp solar system!

Sorry, I shouldn't be trying to dictate your vision of what the game should be about. All I'm asking for is Flash Gordon-style rocketships!
I've read a fair bit of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Michael Moorcock, Lin Carter, etc; you might be interested in this upcoming comic:

But, returning to the rocketships bit, what I'd like is a bit Leigh Brackett; action takes place on weird planets, swords more usual than guns, but there are spaceports, perhaps one per world, some adventurers get to rove about the solar system...
