Title: Butch Sullivan and the Professors Missing Tome - A Pulp Alley AAR
Post by: gharak on January 28, 2013, 09:43:07 PM

I ran through a quick test game of Pulp Alley today just to get some of the rules worked out in my head.

The results are on my Blog:

Thanks for sharing!  :D

Most of my terrain is hand made from pretty basic stuff, the fires are no exception.

They're actually made of tin-foil, I made a bunch of them a while back to be used for stuff like this.

There is two important things to follow, the first is scrunch the tinfoil up really tight and then tease it out again, that gives loads of texture to the foil, try and shape it a little organically from there, fire flows quite a lot, these 2 areas of flame were made for some large braziers  I use in my pulp set ups. The second trick it to paint backwards, white, light yellow, proper yellow, orange, red, deep red, black or something similar, goes against the natural grain of painting and highlighting but fires are hottest in the middle and echoing this makes the tin foil shape really feel like fire.

I seal my tinfoil with PVA and gave them a white undercoat after that.

Nice game, there.  I tend to use the nice flames that Battlefront make for FOW.

Cheers,

The mastiff is from Warlord Games, under their ancients lines.

Great report with some very nice pics. I like your terrain. Simple but it makes for a very nice look.

I also like your fires. I'll have to make some of these for myself. ;)
