Curious as to favoured Pulp sets? I tend to use Astounding Tales. I had 45 cal but my friend borrowed it and now its lost :)

As with many older gamers, I created my own rules that fit our playing style. We like fast moving, mid sized, with tactical and stratgic objectives, firefight type games with six to twenty figures to a team. Each team has a couple of leader types with better skills and abilities, some mid quality NCO types and grunts make up the rest. Everything is based on abilities (Intelligence, Marksmanship, Hand to Hand, Strength, Dexterity, Morale and Luck) ranging from 1-10 (10 being best) using d-10 die rolls for success. Here are a couple AAR's showing the rules in action:

Not much pulp happening at the moment but out of choice "Savage Worlds".
-
Been playing a secret set of rules... ???
More news on this as things progress... :-X :-X :-X
-
Use to play these. (Pics) But now play Pulp Alley. I have to adjust the rules some what to include an AI as I play solo.
-
after trying loads, Pulp Alley is now my brand of choice. 8)
-
I use Chaos in Charo.

You can't beat Pulp Alley! You don't have to keep referring to the book. The initiative part works really well and the game just moves along effortlessly. The main thing is real PULP things happen, witness the ending of one of my games, The Eye of the Buddha, Part 2

And now, Perilous Island as well!!!!

Usually played 45 Adventure. I downloaded Pulp Alley back at the beginning of the year but have yet to play them, what with one thing and another getting in the way of gaming.

Pulp Alley for me
I personally think it gives the best mix of simplicity (without being simplified or bland) , player interaction and story telling of any small skirmish rule set.
It has certainly inspired me
-
Usually play Where Heroes Dare, but really like Pulp Alley. I'm trying to set up a game so my local gaming buds can give it a try.
-
Pulp Alley. Hands down.
-
You can't beat Pulp Alley! ...
Pulp Alley rocks!

Im hoping to try Pulp Alley and its expansion soon. Ive tried Where Heores Dare and .45 Adventure. Both have their merits and drawbacks. If I had to pick one Id take Astounding Tales. Its very simple to run and easy to adapt to whatever pulp flavor you want.
-
Pulp Alley,brings all the best elements of a fun tabletop skirmish game together; I saw instant crossover potential. Spiffing great value
-
I'd have to say Pulp Alley as well(I'm part of the team, co-writer on Perilous Island). But I'd be a fan even if I hadn't been invited to help out.
Dave sent me a draft copy of the game around the time Captain America was in theaters. While I read through the rules, I could see all the various uses, not just Pulp. The rules could easily be adapted to Supers, Space Operas, Sci-fi, just about anything. Simple, intuitive rules were the action plays out on the tabletop, not in the rulebook.

Pulp Alley gets my vote.
4 of us in our first game. I was the only one who had read the rules. No issues & it was a hoot
Highly recommended
-
Pulp Alley for me too.
Dave has come up with a system that is so easy and simple but also contains a universe of diversity and possibilities. The game is so playable and so easy to pick up (and teach). The stuff of greatness!!!
That said, when it comes to my other favorite era: spy stuff - For me it's 7TV and 7ombie TV for zombies. Mainly because, for these type of games I think they really capture the essence of the genera.
-
Pulp Alley for me too!
-
Guess I will have to take the plunge and buy Pulp Alley. I did download the trial version, so could use that first but I am pretty much an all in guy.
Thanks for the feedback!
-
If you're all-in you'll want Perilous Island as well!
The directors' cut, with extra monsters ;)
-
And another vote for PULP ALLEY here.
IMHO the BEST pulp ruleset for skirmish wargaming.
Best wishes.
-
LOL Diplo - yes I may have to do that :D
-
Ok I bought it all!

THANKS Shawn! Please let us know if you have any questions.
