Pulp Board Game from Flying frog
« on: March 30, 2011, 12:06:53 AM »
Due out in the fall-sounds interesting,here's the FFP Blurb:


"It is the late 1930's and the world is in turmoil. Humanity is on the brink of war as imperialist nations in the Far East and Europe work aggressively to expand their domination. The Nazis have taken control of Germany and now spread darkness across the globe in their hunt for powerful occult artifacts that can give them the upper hand in the days to come. But the spirit of adventure and freedom won't be stamped out so easily.

Heroic adventurers from around the world answer the call, racing against time to hunt down ancient artifacts, explore deadly temples, and fight back the powers of darkness from engulfing the world in flames. It is a race of good versus evil and only a cunning and agile explorer can claim the ultimate prize of... Fortune and Glory!

Fortune and Glory: The Cliffhanger Game is a fast-paced game of high adventure, vile villains, edge-of-your-seat danger, and cliffhanger pulp movie action. Players take on the role of a treasure hunter, traveling the globe in search of ancient artifacts and fending off danger and villains at every turn in a quest for the ultimate reward of fortune and glory!

Featuring a beautifully rendered adventure map of the world as the game board, eight pulp adventure heroes to choose from (such as Jake Zane the Flying Ace, Li Mei Chen the Night Club Singer and Martial Artist, or Dr. Zhukov Master of Science), an army of ruthless villains and thugs (including the Chicago Mob and the dreaded occult-hunting Nazis), ancient Mayan temples to explore with a zeppelin hovering overhead, a wealth of coins to horde as heroes collect fortune and glory throughout the game, and a unique mechanism of dangers to overcome and the classic cliffhanger moments of suspense that can result. Fortune and Glory is designed to create a pulp serial cinematic feel as the story and game unfolds.

So strap on your adventure boots and goggles, fire up the engines on the seaplane, and grab some extra ammo for your revolver...the Nazis already have a head start and in this race for fortune and glory, there's no prize for second"

Features:
- Designed for strong Competitive and Cooperative play as players race against one another or work together to overcome a Vile Organization bent on world domination through powerful occult artifacts.
- Photographic artwork for Immersive Pulp Adventure movie action.
- Thirty-nine highly detailed plastic 28mm miniatures including Heroes, Villains, Enemy Soldiers, Mayan Temples, and a Zeppelin air ship.
- Come with an original cd soundtrack to creep its way into the players' subconscious and raise tension and excitement.
- No two games are ever the same! Many Heroes, villains to fight, game cards, and dynamically generated artifacts to hunt for offer limitless combinations.
- Expandable design allows for many expansions and strong web support to create a loyal fan base/community.
 
Well it appears to hit all the right pulp buttons,can' wait for more info.

Mayan temples and a Zeppelin in 28mm?

That's going to have to be one big box!

This has promise - wonder how abstract the board will be?

Edit - Finally managed to open the videos - answered that question, looks great!

Sounds pretty attractive.

And I think the peril cards, with the cliffhanger side, can be very useful for other games and rules.

Let's wait and see about costs and more details.

Best wishes.

Looks like everything you'd want in a pulp game. I'd still like to see Thrilling Tales of Adventure, which seems very much like this, but who knows when or if it will come out.  I like the sample Thrilling Tales graphics better, but if it never sees the light of day...

Definitely watching for this game. I've been really happy with their "Last Night on Earth" game even though I'm not a big Zombie fan. Based on what they've shown so far, it looks like it could be a lot of fun. Failing that, it could act as a pulp scenario generator for pulp miniatures games.

If the standard of the figures is the same as "Last Night on Earth" this will be one to watch.  The roll out style of map looks interesting.
