Which book next for Pulp Alley?

[Gardensnake]

Hello all,

I'm just getting started with Pulp Alley and have the main rule book. Which book would you all recommend I get next to get maximum enjoyment from the game? Or which book other than the rulebook is the most essential to the game? The plan is to eventually have all the books, but I'd like to maximize my start in Pulp Alley.

Thanks,

William

If you have to choose only one, I agree that it should be Pulp Leagues. But why limit yourself? All of them are good: I'd especially recommend Perilous Island and Tomb of the Serpent - both are full of invaluable tips on how to construct scenarios, which I at least find very helpful. But if you must choose only one, make it Pulp Leagues.

Have fun!

(If I  might put in a plug for what I hope will be next or in the future: a sword and sorcery expansion. In my humble opinion it's time to move on from 30's pulp. There's a whole big world out there that needs the PA touch!  )

I don't plan on only getting one more period. The plan is to get them all eventually. I'm just looking for suggestions on which book should be next. I do appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks,

William

No prob. Pulp Leagues will give you all the options for creating any kind of league you can think of.

Their all good, but it might depend on what you want to do next in Pulp Alley, if you want to try a campaign , then their is perilous island, vice alley or tomb of the serpent, which one you'd pick could be decided on what type of setting your looking for, but if your looking to play solo then tomb of the serpent would be the one for you.

If your looking for more rules to add more things to the game then either pulp leagues or the book with vehicles (can't think what its called off the top of my head) would be the way to go, hope that help you

Another vote for Pulp Leagues.

Pulp Leagues!

You really need Pulp Leagues be3cause of the elimination of Hardened Veteran skill. That is probably the most significant change to the rules that has happened so far.

Another vote for Pulp Leagues - a beautiful book on building your crew!  The options and the suggestions on how to use them are invaluable to a newcomer.

Definitely Pulp Leagues.  It clarifies and expands the rules in the basic book, and adds Solo and Horror, as well as giving ideas for different genres.  It does not however provide. any scenarios

I can merely echo the rest.

Personally I really like the Gadgets, Guns and Vehicles book - that and the gadget deck make for some brilliant in game moments
