Pulp Alley expansion -- the NEW cards are here!
« on: 31 May 2013, 05:55:20 AM »
Far from civilized lands, deep in a hollowed-out volcano lair about four blocks from downtown Enid, Oklahoma, strange experiments are finally coming to a close. The sounds of wild laughter and the rumble of dice echo from the secret laboratory, mixing with an ecstatic shriek, “IT’S DONE!!!”


Bobby and I have finished writing the first expansion for Pulp Alley, called Perilous Island. Editing and layout work for Perilous Island is also wrapping up, and I’m hoping we can send the files to the printers sometime next week. I’ll keep you updated with an official release date ASAP.


Perilous Island is one-part thrilling campaign and one-part exciting expansion. Here are just some of the goodies you can expect to see inside Perilous Island ---


THE WEIRD & AMAZING! – The inhuman, unearthly, and down-right strange perks and abilities introduced in Perilous Island provide even more options for your truly weird characters such as living-dead, shapeshifters, dinosaurs, sorcerers, robots, ghosts, aliens, dimensional shambling horrors, and more.

DOMINION – New perks such as Dark Pact, Overlord, and Ancient Sect open strange portals to mysterious powers, minions, and cultists.

TERRORS! – Rules for creating and playing one-character leagues of incredible power.

NEW Fortune Cards – Five brutal Fortune Cards offer new thrills and surprises.

THE CAMPAIGN – Prepare to embark on a journey of global scale, venturing from the deserts of Mexico, to the streets of Athens, the docks of Indonesia, and ending on the mysterious Perilous Island. This challenging campaign is sure to test your characters to their LIMITS!



Prepare for PERILOUS ISLAND! More details to come...

I'm with the rest of you. ;)
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Top in my "wanted" list!

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

Great news!  I can't wait to buy it.  You'll be offering it in PDF form as well I hope?

I need to play my recently acquired stock rules before this gets released!

Yup, and I suspect that we'll make the PDF available before the books -- maybe as soon as the end of next week.  :D


It may be a couple weeks before the online store gets updated. Mila is spending a week in Colorado and I'm not allowed to make any changes... since the "deleting incident".  ;D


However, I'm planning to do a pre-release deal for folks that buy the PDF and Book together. We'll reduce the shipping cost quite a bit to make the combo much more affordable, even for International orders. Like we did with the pre-release deal for the Pulp Alley book we'll have to bypass the online store, so I'll post/email the details once we get everything nailed down.



THANKS for the kind show of support! That means lots to a little dad-and-daughter operation like ours.

Thats music in my ears ;D
received my book last week, and now i'm still collecting suitable Miniatures for my leagues between reading the rules and terrain making!
I think you have infected me with the Pulp-virus  o_o
Can't wait to place my next order for perilous Island.
Thanks for your efforts to make this rules!!

regards

Mike

Besides the fact that the game is well written and seems like a ton of fun, I like you all for a few reasons.  You are relatively local, you seem to be a true "small-business", and you're a family playing and producing games together.  I'm happy to spend money on your stuff.

Here's a sneak peek at one of the covers we're considering for Perilous Island ---




For the PDF version, we'll be sure to inlcude a cover that is fairly printer friendly as well.  :D



HAVE FUN
