Pulp Alley AAR - Lost Marbles
« on: April 05, 2016, 09:41:45 PM »
Hello everyone,

I am another convert to Pulp Alley and would like to present to you an AAR of a game my buddy and I played last Sunday. It's quite long so I will post the intro to wet your appetite. The rest is on our blog: http://miniatureofmind.blogspot.co.uk/

Lost Marbles!

Private Investigator, nanny extraordinaire and English knitting champion 1927; Miss Marbles has been staying in the quiet and oft forgotten seaside village of Little Puttapon-by-Sea after a series of grave robberies and unexplained seismic activity have plagued the small isolated village.

Where Miss Marbles goes trouble is sure to be uncovered and as a result informants for both the Cult and P.I.G. have notified them of her strange activities and nocturnal wanderings whilst staying at the cosy and much doilyed Inn frequented by the more elderly gentrified visitors to the village. Both leagues rush to the village after instructing their respective informants to shadow her and missing each other by only a few minutes interrogate the perplexed innkeeper as to her whereabouts.

"Everyone seems to be asking about the little old lady tonight Inspector! Only a minute ago a queer looking fella in a purple dressing gown asked me the same question. I told him what I tell you. She went up to Old St Putt's church. Rushed off they did....................... oh bye then".

The decrepit local parish church of Old St Putt's opposite the burial plot of the infamous Tiller family:

Thank you for the kind complements gentlemen.

d phipps - I shall order a Phantom Agent card forthwith!

Mad Lord Snapcase - The church is from 4Ground and is laser cut pre-painted MDF. I have a review of it on the blog. It certainly makes for a good centre piece.

Porthius, great report!  Enjoyed the narrative and the pictures.  Very nice work on both miniatures and terrain.

I liked the concept of having a pool of figures/characters to pull a league from.

Can't wait to see more.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys.

More terrain is in production at the moment. Going to keep it UK based for now but who knows in the future. I definitely feel that something maritime would be appropriate..........

Hope to paint up another couple of leagues soon; one "evil" and one "good" then get a good campaign story going.

As always your opinions are very welcome.

That sounds like a good plan! We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with.  ;)
