To highlight the versatile nature of the Pulp Alley rules I decided to go to something a bit more standard than the last couple of games I have done, a standard World War 2 fight between American Paratroopers and the Germans during the Normandy invasion. The battle takes place in the early hours of the invasion, at night. To reflect this I had each player roll for spotting each time they wanted to shoot at someone. They had to spot them first. If they failed to spot it still counted as their activation (they were busy trying to see where he went). The Germans hold a house and the Americans goal is to get it and see what it may hold. Around the house are some supplies that the Americans may be able to use. The main plot point is for the Americans to secure the house with supplies being minor plot points. Taking out German guards silently is also important to the Americans. If the German guards spot the Americans they can s...
Here are some of the cards I created for the heroes that will be available. Typically I try to use the rules to create the superpowers that the characters possess in the comics. At times things are modified, it can be either up or down, to make things fit the source material. I am not trying to totally rewrite the rules, or recreate every single power or ability. If I did that, then the cards would be books. The template is one one I created. I have to upload that to the Pulp Alley Facebook Group. I had an older version on there, but this one is more customized. I am also using the standard cards for some characters too. More to come!
The question of whether or not a person should drive, by themselves, about six hours one way, for a game convention, is not really a subject that comes up in discussion too often. Maybe it is something some people discuss more than others, but I would guess in the usual lives of most people, it never happens. That being said, the last couple of years, that discussion arose in my mind, due to the origin of a new gaming convention in Lebanon, New Hampshire, called Mayhem. Mayhem has been held in April, though thinking about it, May would better fit the name (Aprilhem anyone?). When I heard about this convention last year, I decided to go, due to the fact that I had not been to an in person convention since Historicon 2019 in July of that year. I had been prepared to attend Cold Wars 2020, the weekend of March 13th, but I did not know if the convention would cancel or not and did not want to get stuck with a hotel bill, and no reason to be in the hotel...
