Pulp Article in Vae Victis?
« on: 30 June 2009, 02:08:07 PM »
There is a pulp article in the french magazine Vae Victis. I received some PDFs of the article but I was curious if anyone had a copy of the magazine and what it said about Rattrap and pulp games in general. The article is long so a brief summary is all I am looking for and not a direct translation.

This could be the newest issue or an issue just about to come out.

I just bought a copy today

the article is split in several sub parts
first it describes the origin of pulp, describe the genre and his close parents (VSF, Bob, gothic horror, weird WW2 etc actualy most of the boards we have here on LAF) but stays focused on pulp and BoB genre.
then it gives an idea of the most used rules (45 adventure and T&T amongst others) and finally a part about miniatures.

we also learn that your favorite mini is the masked bad guy from pulp figures ;-)

there is also a small campaign in 3 scenarios set in central asia.
 
the article is mostly interesting for people who don't know pulp. a good introduction to the genre.

and a remainder for me, i have the 45adventure books, figs and scenery.. but haven't played a  game yet :-o

Well, it's time to change that. With everything you need already there, it's time to convince some players that they need to get into pulp. :)

Thanks for the translate.
