Fourth Street's Foul Phantom (Pulp Alley)

I was a 71Q photojournalist back in the 1980s when I was in the military, too. Probably why I love posting stories and pictures of my gaming on my Lead Legionaries blog (link below).

Thanks for sharing, I didn't realize you made game rule sets.

Another enjoyable story,  thanks for posting. I think I've only played Pulp Alley once so I'm familiar with the basics by not beyond that.  I'm not clear if you were using questions as perils or attacks to be avoided or overcome or if that wasn't the case at all. Either way it's a very interesting concept.
Cheers

What I did, was work the cards used in the perils into the narrative as best I could. Really, it doesn't matter if the card says "Unkempt Bush" when all that matters is having to roll two successes with finesse. I roll my success and say something like, "she carefully finessed her way through an unkempt bush."

Go Army, beat Navy!   

I did national service in the Coast Artillery arm (somewhere between army and navy) and served with mechanized infantry later on. We had a saying: "Better onion than zero," (which comes from the shape of the coast artillery ranks vs navy)  .

Yes that's pretty much what I thought. I did something similar in the first game of the Missing Millions set in Venice.

It's like Mad Libs except I have no idea what the words/phrases will be and how they will be used. Potentially against the heroines.

Splendid all round.
