We had our first Pulp Session and tried out the newly released Pulp Alley rules (
http://pulpalley.com/). As this was our first go at it to get a feel for the rules we just played a random game Vs the campaign I have been working on in my earlier "Pulp Me Sideways" thread.
There were 4 of us and we each made up a league:
* Herr Flick and suspiciously Nazi sounding flunkies
* Phruk Yoo and his ruffians
* Biggles and assorted misfits
* Senior Ferrari and the Special Friends of Rick
We followed the scenario set up guide and each placed scenery on the board - ended up with an edge of town down one end and desert and crashed plane down the other separated by an oasis. Plot points where then rolled up and placed on the board - note the one in the middle of the oasis and the one on top of the Egyptian Pharaoh statue. Photography at times is blurred as shots were taken in the heat of the action...
First 3 shots are set up from L, R and far side:

Senior Ugartee and M.P. Fortee (from Herr Flick's league) advance and MP gets set to hose down anyone that approaches the plot point in the palms but gets an "Out of Ammo" card played on him that seals his fate for the rest of the game. With initiative working against him he is mercilessly cut down and never recovers...
