7: Adventure! Tales Of The Aeon Society
A Trinity game set a century ago, a time of pulp action, larger-than-life or slightly superhuman heroes and an increase in the world’s overall “weird level” to include zeppelin armadas and ways into the Hollow Earth. The kind of time when a swing band might have to fight killer robots.
Compare Call Of Cthulhu which is the same era but a whole different vibe.
Lady Lou and the Flying Orchestra
Concept
A swing band and torch singer touring on a private prop plane and finding all kinds of trouble.
Lady Lou, lead singer and tap dancer, can hit that note that shatters glass and makes bad guys cover their ears
Johnny D, band leader, as quick with a right hook as a clarinet swing
Will Diamond, piano, also barnstormer pilot
Little Mary, drums, teen prodigy good at getting in and out of small spaces

Dropping flyers from a plane is great for Publicity Stunts but flying from venue to venue is bad for Rehearsal
I can trace this idea to the dancehall fight set to variations on Sing, Sing, Sing in Steven Spielberg’s 1941.
