Title: Taken the plunge - Pulp Alley :D
Post by: Rich H on 15 October 2017, 08:21:35 PM

Just need to get time to actually play it...

We'll be recycling IHMN gangs as we didn't like the activation system.
We have a variety of crews my first will be Whitechapel 'H Division' but I've also got a Royal Navy Boarding party too.
I also fancy an arctic expedition as a special with animal opponents perhaps!

Also planning on a variety of vehicles that will do for Maximilian too...   :D

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with . (if you do go the Artic route the Air boats and ice boats are cast. Out for Christmas I think.😉)

As for cars I'm looking at Land speed record cars like the Bean Thunderbolt

And other stuff...  Just got to survive a week back at work after 2 weeks off...

Hi Rich.  I started off with IHMN also, but since I tried the Pulp Alley rules, I prefer them.  The games are very unpredictable and just 'feel' better.

Nice videos!

Hope to see some of your game reports.

You won't regret it, it's a great game.

Cheers!

It's certainly got the plans flying!

Seeing as leagues can be so compact and the system so flexible there is loads of source material that will fit!
I've got 28mm London streets to finish now....

Is the Pulp Leagues book a good idea when starting out or should we go with the basics first?

Thanks
Rich

I'd heartily recommend the Leagues. The basic rules (the actual book or the free PDF) provide all the mechanics, but I feel it's the Leagues book which really gives the game flavour. My Leagues book is the one that's fallen apart from the amount of all the flicking backwards and forwards - and I write as someone who has barely played a game.

Rich,
         If you haven't already done so, watch the videos Dave has done.  They are entertaining, and go a long way in explaining the finer points of the rules.

The new V12 Interceptor from Eureka's Mad Maximillian range looks rather good.

Of course, you'll need this, a great addition to Pulp Alley:
