Palaeo Diet: Pulp is the dino-hunting, mummy-wrangling, Nazi-punching expansion for Palaeo Diet: Eat or be Eaten, the solo and co-operative game of survival in a savage prehistoric world. PDP includes: new rules for modern pulp adventurers with all new weapons and traits; new landscape types including buildings, quicksand and carnivorous plants; four new beast reactions; eight new beast profiles including witch doctors, mummies and raptors; three new scenarios to showcase the new rules.

- The core game, Palaeo Diet: Eat or be Eaten contains everything you need to lead a struggling prehistoric tribe against AI beasts.
Palaeo Diet: Fireside Tales is a narrative campaign book which introduces new beast profiles and reactions.
Palaeo Diet: Pulp takes the game in new directions, expanding it to cover 19th and 20th century dinosaur hunts, as well as facilitating mummy-wrangling and nazi-punching opportunities for all.

Man, I’m sooooo tempted. Ok, I’ve put it on my shopping list.

Not usually a fan of multiple rule books to cover the 'same' period - always seems a suspect attempt to pry money for little return - but the prices here don't suggest that is the tactic, quite reasonable in fact. Now, had they been $40 a pop, I wouldn't have even bothered posting.
(Got this way about rules when selling off a late friend's collection - he had well over $1,000 worth of WWII rules from a very well known game system. That races past crazed insanity into some unknown realm of pathetic greed. Addendum to fix omissions or errors? Sure. 36 rulebooks for one war? F**k no.)
Back on topic, based on price, I am struck by the enjoyable artwork. Heck, I might even have to 'bite' myself and pick these up. Was the ententre intended?! lol

We have played Paleo Diet a couple times, and enjoyed it. Very interesting mechanic that lends itself to solo play extremely well. Which - considering how few of us able to get face-to-face miniatures gaming in, is a godsend! I haven't played the Pulp version of it, but sounds like a lot of fun. Recommended on my end... :)
If you want to read an AAR or two from the original Paleo Diet rules, here are the entries on my blog:
