The trucks are merely scenery pieces to dump off the civilians, but yes, you could do without them

[Argonor]

Agreed. Trucks/cars/conveyances may be covered in more detail as things go on. Possibly a points blocker before you are 'big enough' to use them...would be great fun loading all your Hybrids into the farm truck to head into town and find new 'converts'. 

I have a sh*tload of pulpish vehicles. Please, please please!

Where do you get your trucks from been looking about for some 1920's style vehicles.

I was just thinking in terms of having to buy a specific model for a scenario. Even if you treat it like terrain you still need to go and get two period truck models.

Different places - mainly Ebay and other LAF'ers

But try searching for Matchbox 'Models of Yesteryear' and 'Lledo' cars.

There's always Blue Moon and Sloppy Jalopy, if you like your cars to be 'proper' minis instead of die-casts (but also more expensive) Both do some NICE trucks.

It dose not always have to be a truck, it could some location on the table. Say a manhole to the sewers, The tree line, or maybe to a house that the cultist just happen to have built a tunnel in the basement.
It could be any location or item really.
But on a side note, I have tons of pulpish 1920/30 cars, trucks and tanks
Cultiest raid the local national guard armory and get MkIII and FT-17s
Yeah no one would notice that.

In an attempt to get this thread back on topic ( ) here is some flava:

The Story So Far…
1920, October 31: Somewhere in America…
The town hall was crowded and there was a certain air of fear in the crowd tonight, times had been hard for these good people for the last few years. Crops were scarce, the winters were hard, sickness…and then the others had come to rape and loot. Bad times were when folks were willing to look for unconventional answers…hard solutions to hard problems. An almost palpable miasma of dread abounded…it was beautiful. They were ready to do anything now; they would listen to his every command. All anyone wanted was security, comfort and acceptance in these troubled times. He would offer those things and much more. The dark powers he worshiped would be well sated on the souls of these frail creatures. He opened the old book and raised his hands, the room grew still and in a booming voice he proclaimed, “Brothers, the way shall not be easy! But we shall triumph by power of faith! Who shall be counted among the faithful?”

Makes ya think...

Working up a 'Deviant Scum' list...Ghouls and Maniacs are the order of the day. Any thoughts on this? Stuff you would like to see?

[Mr. Peabody]

Thinking about this has rekindled my interest in one of HPL's less shiny nuggets: 'The Horror at Red Hook.'
Despite the overt racist context, the collapse of the building(s) and the last minute 'revolt' of the reanimated white slaver Suydam at his wedding to Lilith (is that how the story went?) were nifty events that could be good scenario fodder...

So, occult experienced slave-trading pirates are on my deviant short list.

hi mike,

the 'degenerate scum list' sounds great. The cultists could be graverobbers and the derranged followers in league with ghouls.
unearthing both followers and food!

Cannibals
Degenerate Sailors
Street Thugs

[fairoaks024]

wouldn't degenerate sailors fit in better with a dagon worshipping deep one aligned cult?
