Just posted the latest league for my Lovecraft inspired Pulp Alley games. Weird science, gadgets, Proto-shoggoths and Mini-bots!

Heya - are you doing Pulp Alley character cards for these guys? I've seen others you've made.

Or have you thought about their character profiles yet? I'm always curious to see what players come up with.


HAVE FUN

A great looking league.  I liked the earlier AAR on your blog as well.  Was that all random rolls or did you lay that out beforehand?

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I enjoy browsing this forum and seeing everyone's brilliant take on this great game so much, it is nice to be a part of it.

@ d phipps - I haven't made the cards yet as I am still mulling over the league stats. Below is my current plan and I am interested in any suggestions you gentlemen may have. I am pondering whether to drop the dog and boost one of the brothers up to Ally status.

@ syrinx0 - Terrain and plot points were layed out beforehand. I then spawned enemies as and when I thought best. This narrative style of play with a GM seems to work well for the sorts of games I want to play in this Lovecraft inspired setting and I will probably make use of the Monster rules and Horror cards more in the future.

Portias, great looking league!  Hope to see them soon in a battle report.  I have eyed several of those models myself.  Nice to see your work on them.
