Pulp Alley Treasure Island
« on: 08 April 2022, 12:11:10 PM »
Last week I got together with my good friends Doug & Paolo for some Pulp Alley Pirate Adventure.



The table was set up as a corner of an island where a previous pirate expedition had buried some treasure (of course) before being chased off by the hostile natives.



Scenario 3: The Trail of Clues from the Pulp Alley Rulebook, seemed a good fit for what we had in mind. Each league deployed (by boat) within 12" of one of the sea-ward corners, the four clues as to the treasures hiding place (minor plot points) were placed over 6" away from table sides or characters. The buried treasure would be revealed once a clue had been solved. The clues were the skeletal remains and effects of two dead pirates, the ships logbook and the curious golden statue of a bird of prey (covered in black paint!).

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Now I need to rethink using clear bases!

Awesome!  Nice terrain too.  That tower reminds me on one I saw in St. John, USVI.

Odd, they were there for days, but now they don't show up for me either.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.
