This is where you'll find the Lady of Adventure, Adventurer Archaeologist, Great White Hunter and Gentleman Adventurer (and maybe the Egomaniac Hunter and Evil Colonialist, if you're unlucky) all hanging out when they aren't out doing dangerous things. There's probably a bar, a roaring fireplace, and lots of easy chairs for people to sit around in. Expect animal heads and African masks hanging on the walls in terms of décor, as well as lots of globes and maps. (Possibly a library full of them.) Often the site of a Framing Story, with one person sharing stories about his latest adventure and the others listening. Especially common in works set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras or a Steampunk universe, but they can be found elsewhere. May overlap with Adventure Guild or Smoky Gentlemen's Club. |

In the Discworld, Ankh-Morpork has two: the Guild of Trespassers note Patrician Vetinari decreed the name change from the Guild of Explorers, as from the point of view of the people whose lands they are "exploring", a different and more accurate title could be more applicable, and the Guild of Archaeologists, whose younger and more adventurous members, such as Laredo Cronk and Miss Alice Band, take a somewhat more proactive attitude to the profession. They call it Stealth Archaeology, which boils down to getting onto the site of interest, digging up the loot, and getting away with it, before anyone notices. In the case of Miss Alice Band, this necessarily overlaps her other Guild membership, that of the Guild of Assassins. | |

In Eric Overmyer's play On the Verge, the three Ladies of Adventure often reminisce about good times at the Explorer's Club back home. Fanny, in particular, has a great monologue about the Foreign Queasine she gladly partook of last time she was there. | |

A few Snagglepuss cartoons on The Yogi Bear Show featured Major Minor belonging to an adventurers' club. A proto Snagglepuss and Major meet here in the Snooper and Blabber cartoon "The Lion is Busy," where Snooper refers to some of the members as "fugitives from a late late show." | |

The Jakobs corporation and the characters of the Eden-6 arc in Borderlands 3 has this aesthetic in mind, with its heir Wainwright being a Southern Gentleman, his boyfriend and previously introduced intrepid explorer Alistair Hammerlock being a Quintessential British Gentleman, and his villainous sister Aurelia being The Baroness. | |

Above the Timberline features the Polaris Geographic Society, whose members present themselves as dashing explorers bravely leading expeditions into the frigid wastes to recover the lost technology and knowledge of the old world. Their headquarters are furnished with impressive artifacts and equipment from their most famous missions, and the membership in the Society provides access to funding and supplies that would be impossible to wrangle otherwise. But under that veneer the PGS is a boy's club whose members are largely self-serving egoists jockeying to get their names in the headlines. When Wesley Singleton approaches them about mounting an expedition to rescue his stranded father Galen Singleton (a prominent PGS member himself), none of the current members are willing to lend a hand. | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series "Joker's Favor" appears the Peregrinator's Club as an exclusive lounge for the wealthiest citizens of Gotham City. Originally used by adventurers and explorers, it later became home to the city's rich and affluent bluebloods. That would explain why on earth would the club had reconstructed a Mayincatec temple, right down to re-poisoning the darts in the traps... at least in part. Remember that is a Gotham City club. | |

The National Geographic Society, its American counterpart. It has expanded well beyond the old-fashioned club of the idle rich into a significant conductor of scientific research in fields of natural science, while also serving an educational mission with its magazine and tv network. Abandoning the patronizing attitude toward indigenous peoples has been a major improvement. | |

The Explorers Society in Deadlands. They descend from a Roman society of monster-hunters, and since the Reckoning, are starting to dust off the old mantle again... much to the distaste of the Agency and the Texas Rangers, who both consider the Explorers Society to be half-baked bumblers who are far too open about the monstrous nature of their quarry. | |

The Super Adventure Club in South Park is visually based on the Disney club, although it's actually an organisation of child molesters (and a thinly veiled strawman of the Church of Happyology). When the boys say they assumed the club was about adventuring, the club's leader explains, "No, that's the Adventure Club. We're the Super Adventure Club." | |
