Pulp Alley Leagues

[Wirelizard]

Over on The Warbard, I've posted the PDF of my Dread Thuggee League for Pulp Alley.

It's a small (four person) League with no ranged firepower, specialized for strangling and stealth. They've had a challenge to use, but given the right circumstances can be effective and deadly in a PA game!

Very cool concept for a Pulp Alley league.

Hmm... I may have missed something, but I think Amrish (leader) could have another skill a 4 dice? Maybe bump up his Dodge or Finesse, or I guess you could raise his Might to 3 dice.

Stealth based leagues do take a bit more planning, patience, and/or luck - but can be lots of fun to play. Because they can be a bit slower to move around, while they are hiding, they almost work better as a spoiler.


BTW -- here's a new in-hiding ability we are playtesting for Vice Alley ---

Infiltrate - While hiding, this character may move up to 12" and remain hidden as long as they do not move within 12" of an enemy character.

I like this concept of stealth-based leagues, I might have to have a go at one. Thanks for the idea.

dave - i assume in-hinding is only if they don't shoot, brawl, charge/run too.  staying 12" away on a 3x3 table is hard to do for very long.

Ayup, attacking an enemy or performing an action still pulls you out of hiding - but you may have a chance to 'ambush' the enemy if you're sneaky enough.

Will terrain block stealth distance checks, or is the distance "as the crow flies"?

Assuming you are asking about the Infiltrate move specifically, the answer is "maybe". 


Infiltrate is still on the playtest list so we're trying it a few different ways. There's another version that states, "as long the character remains out of line-of-sight of the enemy". This is where playtesting is so valuable.


Feel free to let me know what you think.


Maybe I should clarify that "spotting" check are based on line-of-sight. But that's not really what we're talking about here.


HAVE FUN

I think that if the photos had more of a period frame, instead of a clean "polaroid" type frame, that Dr. Viking's cards are may favourite so far.

By the way, that brings up a good question. Can anyone suggest a good, free "old typewriter" font?
