Great looking game, Jozi! Very glad to hear all went well, and I can't agree more with your thoughts on smaller conventions.

Probably a silly question, but do you enjoy Astounding Tales? I wish Mr Whitehouse would get his act together and release Chainmail Bikini. I've been heckling him on this for years, by Crom, yet all for naught, I'm afraid. Thanks so much for sharing!

Jozis Tin Man, nice stuff! I noted the comment on your blog about playing the light RPG Savage Worlds with your wife. Have you tried it for Pulp? Those rules have some nice ideas. There's a couple of Savage Worlds campaign books for Pulp.
Sailors have more fun!

Thanks for all of the kind comments.

@Arundel: I LOVE Astounding Tales.  It is perfect for a convention game (because I can easily make stuff up as I go along if needed) and they also work as a light RPG set.  I own Pulp alley but have not gotten around to trying them yet.

@warrenpeace: I have Savage Worlds, but not the Pulp rules.  I think my wife is getting interested in RPG's again.  She just started working at a local library and there were kids in there playing D&D, so as time permits, I might give it a whirl.

Thanks!  The Goose is a die cast bank I found on Ebay.  It is heavy enough to serve as a murder weapon, but not flimsy like a plastic model.
