Pulp Alley New Solo Deck and Fortune Cards

[d phipps]

We are excited to announce two new Pulp Alley releases are ready to pre-order ---

THE SECRET CHARTER -- Centuries after the Sun King’s secret charter, the International Research and Exploration Society (IRES) remains ready to battle the unspeakable supernatural enemies of mankind. The Secret Charter booster pack adds 15 new Fortune cards — for even more two-fisted action and thrilling surprises!

SOLO DECK -- Our 40-card Solo Deck is designed to specifically replace the Fortune Deck when you are playing single-player Pulp Alley scenarios. Free Download -- After we process your pre-order, you may download a bonus file, including our updated Solo-play rules, a sneak peek of our Tomb of the Serpent book, and more...

Pre-order before August 10th and save! We expect to start shipping these items by August 10th, 2016.

Dave,
         Can you give an example of how the Solo Deck works?  How is it different from the regular Fortune Deck?

Although our unique Initiative rules and Fortune Deck are a couple of the things that make Pulp Alley such an engaging and fun game, I feel like we have come up with a better way to handle this in the Solo rules. In a nut shell, here are the changes...

Initiative -- No dice rolls. Each turn, you simply choose which side to activate and then activate all the characters on that side. But don't think it will be an easy decision, the Solo cards are full of surprises! 

Solo Cards -- First, forget ALL the rules relating to Fortune cards if you are using the Solo deck. There is only one basic rule for using the Solo Deck, "You must draw and immediately play one Solo card for each of the first three characters that activate each turn."


So for example, if you are playing your league against some nefarious cultists...

At the start of the turn, you must decide if you are going to activate your league first or the cultists first. So let's say, you decide to activate your own characters first...

Then you must draw and play one Solo card each time you activate one of your first three characters. So if you have at least three characters, then you will NOT draw cards when the cultists activate.

It is worth pointing out that good and bad things can occur when Solo cards are drawn. The Solo cards can really spin things around, so you never know what to expect. 


I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have other questions.

         I just ordered my Solo Deck.  Hmmn, combining it with the Horror Deck could be neat.

I've pre-ordered the Solo Deck from Sally 4th. Really looking forward to this as most of my games are solo.

Initiative -- No dice rolls. Each turn, you simply choose which side to activate and then activate all the characters on that side...

I'm curious...does Initiative still change when fights are won/lost, or plot points scored?  Or, once determined, does it stay fixed until the next turn?
I'm very excited by this Solo Deck release, by the way.
