The Game is Afoot! Pulp Adventure Report
« on: 04 November 2012, 01:03:10 PM »
First of three pulp adventures from Gaelcon last weekend

Erstwhile archaeologist Mr. Stanley Giles has fallen in with some rather dubious vagabonds, and hoping that they might be able to help him out of his serious debts back home he has advised them that a long-lost treasure can be found in a unique tomb in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains

Three hard-bitten adventurers, led by Harvey, have hired on a Captain Fanning to ship them to the coast to await their return. Despite some run-ins with fierce Berbers they have indeed located the underground labyrinth and have packed up all the choice pieces to be sold at auction in Marseilles.



Meanwhile, Lieutenant Commander Newbolt of the United States Navy, having been seeking the rogue Harvey for some time now has send a squad of Marines by land while his gunboat is taking on fuel.

Great write up.
Love your Pulp Figure Marines. :)
I liked the back and forth of the battle.
Looks like it went down to the last turn.

Great AAR.

Now, that's a kamikaze car chasing.

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!
