Awesome AAR all around. I love your bookshelves! Did you paint the details yourself?

Bookshelves and fireplace are from the old HEROQUEST game, and the books and fire are printed cardboard, but Jet do painted the plastic parts to enhance the look.

Great AAR Jet.

And your scenery adds a lot to the mood of the game.

Thanks for sharing.

Anyone know where there might be a synopsis of how the Plot generator works?

Each of the "basic scenarios" from the book has 5 random plot points.

First, you will roll 1d10 to determine a "type" for each plot point. This will result in something like Treasure, Contraband,  Encounter, and so on.

Next, you'll roll on the appropriate table to generate something more specific. For example, on the Contraband table, you could roll Hijacked Chemicals, Smuggled Gold, a Hidden Bomb, and the like.

Lastly, you'll determine which one will be the Major Plot Point. Based on the players and the scenario this is usually easy to agree on, or randomly selected. After that, you roll to determine how you were drawn in to the scenario (Long Lost Friend, Local Authorities, etc), and what is at stake (Revenge, The Lives of Many, Justice, etc.).



It is all really fast and easy -- and also optional. So there is plenty of room for adding in your own creative elements and story ideas.



I hope that helps.

Hi Mila. As Magokiron stated, they are indeed a part of the fairly large collection of furniture that came with the old game HEROQUEST. When we started playing Gothic Horror, I removed all of the plastic components, primed it all up, painted it, and re-assembled with all of the cardstock pieces. Although the furniture is more Fantasy-esque, I think it works fine for more rustic modern settings.

Great report.
Terrain, figures,story, all outstanding.
Have the rules, just need to read and play them.
Too many other projects going on at this time.

Thanks for giving Pulp Alley a try!

Thanks for the link to the Goats, Jet. Goats are surprisingly hard to find...the four legged type at any rate.

So, here's the re-adjusted league as promised. The main difference is that Churchill the goat has been dropped and Spider has been added. You might also notice that Yuri is the Sidekick and Monique has been demoted to Ally. This change was based mostly on gut instinct - Yuri just seemed as if he should be the Sidekick to me. The other major changes you'll see in the roster below.





I replaced the Captain's Lucky Devil ability with Rugged, as I explained in an earlier post. Now he is quite a force to be reckoned with, but then you'd have to be to lead the Liberators.

I picture Yuri as quite skilled with a firearm (as shown by the 3D6 Shoot) but I've put the emphasis on Dodge and Cunning. Along with the Shrewd and Crafty abilities, Yuri is a real specialist who will spend more time overcoming Perils and discovering Plot Points than fighting face to face. In other words, Yuri is a skilled code-breaker, locksmith, demolitions man, and communications expert.

Monique is my rounded Ally. She is reasonable at shooting and passing Finesse-related challenges but she isn't stellar at either. If we try the playtest rules I will replace Savvy with the Burst Fire ability to better represent her submachine gun.

Spider is the guy I finished painting tonight. I made him a straight-up good shot and, since he has a tough-guy look I gave him a Might increase as well.

Poor old Lester has been demoted to Follower. But, c'mon, look at him. Can you blame me? He's a good shot and is also great for carrying equipment.
