Title: Anyone writing their own pulp rules?
Post by: Bravo Six on 13 May 2013, 08:48:52 AM: Last year I'd been working on my own pulp rules set called Gripping Tales of Adventure and after a couple of playtest runs decided it was more or less in a broken state and put it in a digital drawer to collect dust. I've been strangely drawn to the Pulp Alley rules as of late, because they seem to have most of what I want in a pulp game. However, having said that, those old rules are calling to me from their place of rest and I find myself in a mode to revamp or overhaul them and see them to fruition. At least for the sake of my gaming group who keeps saying "..what happened to GTA??"

Anyone else find themselves in the same boat? Tinkering endlessly on what you hope to be your pulp fuelled opus?

I was inspired by this thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=29506.0) in the Open Talk forum.

Sometimes I am a puritan and just use one set and no other mixed in, then at other times I create a hybrid and mix together some parts of all in one Hodge podge. Bottom line is we should adopt what we want to reflect happen in our games. There are no hard and fast rules (Pun intended) to this area of the hobby. ;)

Pulp Alley pretty much has every aspect I wanted in my rules (and more), so now I'm using -and enjoying- them a lot.

Best wishes.

Right now I am polishing my A.S.A.P. (As Simple As Possible) rules.
They arent as simple as when they started at this point, but I use them whenever I GM.

I started to write a gangster version too but decided to reel in my ambitions!
