Looks like alot of fun! Love the pulp cover!=) I am going to have to try this one!

The cover alone almost has me sold. Like to know a little more about the system, though. Still, from everything I've seen so far, it looks promising.

The system looks like an outgrowth of "Colonial Adventures" or "Six Gun Sound: Blaze of Glory", which are distant relatives of the venerable "Chain Reaction" line. But it's hard to tell at this point.

No femme fatale for the pygmies?

I'm totally looking forward to this… I'll have my order in when it's ready to go.

I played in pilot game with Ed's rules at Skirmish in Plano last year and had a blast. Whilst waiting for them to come out I have acquired a trawler, crew and various assorted adventurers to go back to Monster Island and find that blond primitive huntress who was, ahem, so useful in the adventure.Can't wait to get a set! Lance, aka,"the Robust Rocketeer"

I played "Colonial Adventures" at Millennium this year.

What a blast!

I love the way the "Colonial Adventures" is written and laid out. It's much easier to understand than any of the previous rules (and I have most of them!)

I also started buying Reaper Chronoscope figures in anticipation of these rules. I've started with the British Colonial figures. I already have lots of Egyptian themed stuff (Reaper Warlords Nefsokar figures). All I need now are the rules!

Looks great, though technically -lots- of people die in the Pulps, usually the villains;)

Will definitely pick this one up, Ed.

Played them as well at Skirmish last year and they were a blast. A good pick me up game as I was completely fragged and frazzled from running my alien invasion game in the shift before. It seemed a good mix of the traditional Reaction System with a few tweaks from Warrior Heroes, given a healthy shot of gin, and handed a pair of blazing .45's to mow down no-goodniks.

Just a shame Arizona Bob got turned to plankton so early in the game, he deserved better.

Still no pretty lady in a T-Shirt :-(

The THW rules are good and i shall be buying a set.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP03 Jan 2009 6:44 p.m. PST

In Pulp, pretty ladies wear slinky evening gowns or leopard skins. For a close to T-shirt experience check out Fay Wray in the unexpurgated King Kong.

Hi Ed,

Any word on a release date?

Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy04 Jan 2009 9:00 a.m. PST

Tanuki – Final edits as we speak. Next Monday at the latest if all goes to plan.
