Title: The Lone Warrior pulp thread - battle reports & pictures (updated 9 october)
Post by: tereydavi on August 07, 2020, 12:02:49 PM
I usually play weird ww2 and pulp games, always solo, and I decided to make a blog with the games that I play.

I want this to be MY thread, and In this thread I want to share with you my pulp games, pictures, miniatures... And I will update it with every pulp game that I play.

My intention is to play Pulp Alley's perilous Island campaign, but using my own system (a mix of several ruleset, taking from each one what I like most, and adapting it to solo gaming)

I'll play several one shot pulp games before starting the campaign, because at this moment I'm playing a weird ww2 campaign, and I'll share these games in this thread...

First one is the scenario from Chaos in Cairo ruleset, and I want to play next one of the monthly scenarios of Pulp Alley.

This first scenario follow the adventures of the Carlyle expedition from the back alleys of Cairo to the burning sands of the desert...

This is the Carlyle expedition, with Roger Carlyle in the center of the group:

Sounds like a fun thread! I look forward to reading it (and your blog). Where did that huge facade of the Egyptian temple come from?

Interesting, what are the counters for?
Is the tomb/chamber self made?

Mike Demana

Thanks a lot!!
Hope you like it!!!

The temple is a toy repurposed... And it is huge!! There are a few parts that I haven't show yet... But you will see them in next scenarios...

Interesting, what are the counters for?
Is the tomb/chamber self made?

The counters are negative modifiers for each miniature, each hit suffered is a - 1 modifier to any dice roll (except for monsters, the counters state how many life points/hits have suffered, but don't modify the dice rolls)

Hope you like the Reports!!
The tomb is a toy repurposed... A huge toy...

Follow the adventures of our heroes following the trail of a monster through the back alleys of the city...

Check the blog for a full AAR full of pictures and much more...

I'm starting a Solo Pulp Alley campaign, Perilous Island, and I'll show the games as I play them...

Lord Donovan Darrow, a well known archeologist, found something about a lost city buried under the sands of Egypt, and then, he dissapeared...

What did he found? Where is he? Is he still alive?

Follow the adventures of the Carlyle expedition as they travel from the plains of Algeria to the desert in Egypt looking for the dissapeared archeologist...

That is an interesting table. It almost looks like a giant photograph. Is it something you made?

A friend gave me the image to be printed on a pvc mat, it is very realistic, and makes the table more "real"...

I don't know where he took it from.

I used to have a felt mat, but this has been quite a good change

Third scenario of the solo Pulp Alley campaign "Perilous Island"...

Our heroes arrive to Greece fleeing from Algeria, looking for a close friend of the dissapeared archeologist, just to find him almost dead in a hospital...

Will our heroes get any clue to find the whereabouts of Lord Donovan Darrow?

Is it too late to find him alive?

Let's continue with an AAR of Pulp Alley's Perilous Island campaign played solo...

This is the fourth scenario, and the members of the Carlyle expedition arrive to Cairo looking for the dissapeared archeologist Lord Donovan Darrow, just to discover that a German group called The Order is struggling to find him before...

If you like the card buildings, this last report will like you...
I made a lot of buildings to represent the Chaos of an Arab city.

Tha nks for your support!!

I have to admit that I am not normally a fan of paper buildings but you have done a wonderful job of making them look good. Very good.

Thanks a lot!!

As I play my games alone, I have made all my scenery, and the main problem is to store everything at home.

When you have an Arab city setting a desert setting, a western city setting, a forest/country setting... It becomes difficult to store everything at home.

That's why I decided to make my own papercraft buildings, as they are cheap,  I can make them myself, and the most important thing... I make them foldable!!!!

So, once I finish, I fold them and store a full city in a small box, and that's the main reason to use papercraft terrain.

Hope you like the blog and the AARs!!

I'm back from a short break...

Fifth solo game of the Pulp Alley 'a campaign called Perilous Island...

This time our heroes go through the desert of Rub Al Khali to find Lord Donovan Darrow, a famous archeologist who dissapeared while searching for Irem, city of the thousand pillars, the Atlantis of the desert...

Will they find their way through the desert? Or will they be swallowed by the sand?

The sixth solo game of the Pulp Alley's campaign called Perilous Island has been a bit intense...

Our heroes continue their travel through the doomed Rub Al Khali desert in their search of the lost famous archeologist and things are getting tougher than expected...

Hope you like it as much as I am enjoying playing it...

Nice battle report.  I love how you painted the FG zombies.  I did mine with a more green skin tone.  But I like how yours could work for many different types of models. 

I just ordered the Serpent of Ra expansion for PA.  I'm going to move it to Southeast Asia instead of the desert.  While doing Airborne of Shadow Deep, a small group of adventures are requested to explore some strange things happening in the jungle.

It sounds really promising...

The good thing about these campaigns is that you can set them in a place that fits better your terrain and miniatures.

Perilous Island is set in a lost island in the middle of nowhere, but as I had no jungle terrain, I decided to play it in an egyptian setting, and I have discovered that it was a success, as I am really enjoying the campaign.

I am looking forward to see what your adventurers discover within the southeast asian jungle...

Once I finish this campaign I'll play some scenarios for Airborne of Shadow Deep, I have several ideas for my 101 airborne soldiers...

Things are going to get weirder...

The end of the solo Pulp Alley campaign is close...

Our heroes have gone through the doomed Rub Al Khali desert and have arrived to Irem, the Atlantis of the desert, to find hundreds of undead awaiting for them...

With the help of the remaining survivors of the Afrika Korps expedition they will try to make their way through the wall of corpses to reach the main gate of the forbidden city...

And we made it to the last chapter of the Pulp Alley campaign called Perilous Island...

After 8 games played solo we reach the final episode...

Our heroes made it through several dangers to come to a damned desert searching for a lost city buried under the sand...

Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed playing the campaign...
