I always get the vibe that the Pathfinder Chronicles are a kind of stuffy scholarly thing and that that Pathfinders are themselves sort of stuffy and scholarly.
I like to imagine them, though, as similar in tone to the lurid midcentury men's adventure magazines ("Weasels Ripped My Flesh!") crossed with similarly-themed Fortean publications of the same era ("Dark Magic Of The Desert Tombs Revealed: Does This Clock Count Down To Apocalypse?").
Are the Chronicles written to educate ("A Numeration of the Species of Darkland Bat And Their Diets") or titillate ("I Narrowly Escaped A Drow Orgy!")? I feel as though Pathfinder has a kitschy, pulpy foundation, so I want it to be a little of both.
Are there any pulpy Pathfinders, or do they leave that sort of untoward behavior to the "adventurers"?
