Here's a cool Pulp Alley battle report put together by blacksoilbill. I really like his terrain and miniatures….
I introduced Pulp Alley to a friend the other night. He's played plenty of RPGs, but his only encounters with wargames have been a couple of bewildering attempts at Warhammer. So, how would Nick go with this?
Why invest vast amounts of time and energy digging up a priceless archaeological treasure when you can just steal one once someone else has done all the hard work? The famed golden chest of Cheops has been unearthed and sold to Sir Clifford Carne, a wealthy if unscrupulous private collector. Even now, Sir Clifford and his manservant Otto Cramb are lugging the chest to Sir Clifford's car, ready to whisk it to the airfield and then back home to his collection.
But other people have other ideas…
Sir Clifford, Cramb and the chest in the foreground.
The car awaits its cargo.
The would-be thieves move in: Dr Veruckthaar and his motley assortment of rats, robots and red-headed hunchbacks (me) from the right and through the market. And Jack Sampson's company of adventurers (Nick) at the far left.
Jack accosts Sir Clifford.
Veruckthaar's flunkies lurk.
Sir Clifford brushes off Jack's attentions and carries on towards the car.
Jack's sidekick, Ace Mason tries his luck at grabbing the chest, with just as much success as his boss.
Jack is momentarily detained by the hunch-back, but its a problem easily solved by a length of sharp steel.
Meanwhile, the rest of the gangs have been closing in on the car and the chauffeur.
The robot successfully grabs the chaffeur as Sir Clifford arrives.
Sir Clifford has no choice but to carry on on foot, scurrying past Dr Veruckthaar.
Jack is on the trail again, but the robot has other ideas.
So much for that! As Jack races onwards, the robot recovers, only to be accosted by the accursed black cat.
Jack confronts Veruckthaar as the treasure walks away.
But the robot rushes to Dr Veruckthaar's aid. It goes down but takes Jack with it!
The way is now open for Dr Veruckthaar to grab the treasure. Well, there is a lowly ally of Jack's.
But he would have to race through a storm of laser gun fire and pin Dr Veruckthaar in combat to prevent the Dr from grabbing the treasure.
Yes, yes he would… Meanwhile, the only real winners from this game…
A great game – it went down to the last roll.
Nick said he really enjoyed the game and would be keen to play again. And I don't think he was just trying to be nice!
