Pulp Alley/40k AAR: "Backside Roasting" PART 2 ADDED
« on: January 20, 2015, 12:27:39 PM »
A long time gaming buddy visited before Xmas and we got a couple of 40k themed Pulp Alley games played.  The initial game was our first using the vehicle rules, which turned out to be quite fun, even if some fluke events possibly generated some slightly unrepresentative but quite amusing shenanigans.  



A force of genetically modified human mercs and a force of ork pirates collided in a shanty town in search of information for their next big score.  The following characters had to be tracked down and "negotiated" with.



Explosions, derring-do, more explosions and GTA ensued.





More photos and a report in the blog post.

Mighty fine report there.

And Pulp Alley is a great little rule set. You can tweak it to any setting and use all those odd, cool figures you've got standing around.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback folks.

Looks like you got to ROCK OUT.  8)

The Klöwd was sleeping off a hangover at "Da Ritz", so the Kaptin borrowed the Töör Bus for the mission.  I imagine that there is greasy, fungal stench in that vehicle.  It makes me itch just thinking about it.


Magnificent! Pulp Alley is getting more and more tempting :)

If you want to represent historically accurate 20th century firefights with a small headcount, then Pulp Alley is not really the right ruleset.  But if you want to represent Inquisitors leaping through windows to psychically blast mutants while a cyborg priest tries to extract a mysterious briefcase from a Venusian Man Trap before the volcano erupts and the space-ninjas get here, then I cant think of anything better.


And Pulp Alley is a great little rule set. You can tweak it to any setting and use all those odd, cool figures you've got standing around.

Yep, and even better than that, I find myself searching out more interesting technical/civilian/trader/pilot/non-front line troop type models specifically for PA games, where they will work as parts of Leagues and also as Plot Point markers.  Those sorts of things very enjoyable breaks in between working on yet more miniatures with guns.

Again, thanks for the feedback everyone.

Yes! I love the way PA encourages the use of interesting non-combatant miniatures.

What a hoot! It has humour, excellent miniatures, great scenery and a good report. Excellent.
Seems to me this is the 2015 way of doing Rogue Trader. You can use oldskool miniatures with slick, action-packed and fun rules to play games in the Rogue Trader universe. Just as it was intended back then! At least, that is how I look at it :)

Im toying with the idea of having some Adeptus Mechanicus engage in noospheric cyber warfare (your cyberspace elements perhaps) as an adjunct to a future game.  A gaming buddy has a AdMech force infiltrated by a genestealer cult, which would be perfect adversaries.  It could be fun...
