*sniff*... great drama! Nominee for the Academy Award, for sure! :cry:
And I ab-so-lutely love those ideas! That roar template is awesome, Kong´s lines even better, but what pushed me over the edge (of my chair, that is!) was S.S. Denture. Oh my f´ing whatsoeverisholytoyou! :lol:

MIGHTY JOE KONG... DEAD!!! :o
Say it ain't so!
Great write up Poly, read through the whole thing (didn't even stop to look at the pretty pictures until after I finished reading.)
-
Get up, Joe! Get up!
Mommy, why won't Joe get up? Is he sleeping?
:cry:
Note to certain personages who shall remain nameless, but you know who you are:
I had to erase a perfectly good Allosaurus enconium because of this.
Your captions, as usual, evince both wit and sensibility, and add immesurably to the battle report.

One of the best Battle Reports I've ever seen... I love Pulp adventures...
-
Hey, you never know, Joe Kong may wake up and realise the whole thing was a dream. :lol:
Excellent report, your games always sound terrific fun. :)

fantastic, Plynkes! hope to see part 3 one day...somewhere in a city...
-
No fear, that would mean I'd have to make a whole lot of city terrain!
Though I'd like to do a London version with Joe hanging off the Big Ben clock tower, while he's pestered by DH2s.

But I'm too lazy to make loads of buildings...

Plynkes - You have just inspired me to buy the new Pulp Miniatures tramp steamer crew and order the giant ape from Reaper miniatures to attempt a similar game. :)
What rules system are you using? Are they home grown or a published set?

I'll quote from a discussion on TMP if you don't mind, to save my typing fingers. Somebody over there asked me the same thing:
"As a large part of the matter was Whites vs. Natives we used "In the Heart of Africa" with improvised Tommy-Gun and gas bomb rules, plus a new agility stat for jumping and such, and "hero-saves" for the more important characters.
But bolted on to the end of that was the "Monster Turn" which was pretty much of my own devising. After all the humans have done their stuff the various monster factions dice for iniative and get their go.
The little raptor pack just had a move+attack action. The larger things like Joe and the Big Lizard had three actions per turn (plus one more if Joe used his rage). Joe's options are listed in the report, but I didn't include the various success chances.
The raptors took damage just like humans (i.e. one hit and they're dead) but the big'uns were divided into hit locations with multiple hit points.
Joe's Locations were:
1) L.Leg (4 Hits)
2) R.Leg (4 Hits)
3) L.Arm (4 Hits)
4) R.Arm (4 Hits)
5) Torso (7 Hits)
6) Head (4 Hits)
Losing all hits to a leg meant that from then on Joe could only use one movement action a turn. Losing both legs would immobilise him. An arm being lost would render that arm useless (which happened during the game) and prevent such things as grapples which required two hands.
Loss of all Torso or Head hits would kill the beast (which also happened).
The Big Lizard was similar, but with different hit locations and different amounts of hit points."

Thanks for the info. I like your ideas of the various hit locations and damage ratings.
