Children of the Corn and Lord Buckethead

 Got the wonderful Crooked dice new releases and at last painted them up, along with a special miniature of Lord bucket head which was a must get for me, fun to paint and will feature in my games.

250.000 hits WOW

250.000 hits what can I say but thank you, amazed as always by the amount. As a few know not been well last few months so not posted or shown anything. Hopefully will get back soon with my art, pictures and battle reports.

The people who inspire me and have kept me going these last years you know who you are, and your friendships and  company both on line and real life make my worlds complete.

Be safe my friends and happy  holidays and  new year.....

Conan and the Alter of Death (pulp Ally AAR)

 After  may reads and again watching Dave's  wonderful videos, I wanted to try the solo deck and the Blood Sacrifice scenario . I had  a Conan league set and  raised a Thusla Doom league to fight them. the scenario i laid out and decided a princess as the victim and major plot point, (my camera took some very bad pictures so below are the best.) The game played very well and I cant   story board the  turns as normal due to the pictures.

 Thusla Dooms  league

 minor plot points

 Conan and friends

 Doom enters the game

 the princess

 sir hiss failed miserably and  lasted like 5 seconds.

 Doom warriors and gang 

 Subotai made short work of them

 Thorsen spent 2 turns stationary.

 Conan and Valeria engaged Rexor over a plot point

 Doom vanquishing the priestess to get his first plot point with ease

 the evil priest had a time on  the second plot point he did his best

 Rexor is downed and his point stolen by Valeria

 at last the  plot point is his

 Alko runs and tries his best but

 is felled

 Turn 5 the  monster turned up almost on top of Conan

 the battle starts and blows are exchanged 

 Valeria joins the frey and still the beast wont fall

 Doom goes for the princes and victory he is stopped by very bad dice rolls and loads of swearing is heard from the princes who resists his attentions

 Aiko and Thorsten dance and fight around the plot point

 the evil priest  steals if  as they fight

 Cona bravely still battles the huge monster

 Subotai tries to stop Doom arrows bouncing off him as he at lest wrestles the princess off the alter 

 he grabs her and makes a run for it

 claws and lades still clash and the heroes fight the  huge thing

the evil priest  succumbs to his adventures and fall flat as Doom escapes off with the prize

Victory to Thusla Doom as Conan is still fighting the  monster. 

Very enjoyable game and the solo deck work, I again apologise fr the poor showing of pictures, but hope it gave some feel to the game. Pulp alley worked fine i did not use the  extras you can from the Leagues book on  Fantasy games but perhaps next time.

thank you Dave for inspiration as always

Ipy and the Jungle of Fear (Pulp Alley AAR)

 After along time I watched the wonderful videos from Dave at Pulp Alley on game play, and was infused to try again I opened my files and re read now with a better understanding of the game (I hoped). so I set about  playing a game I read and purchased the solo deck and  thought this would be the  test game of my new found knowledge.

My  leagues I had already, Ipy the Pharaohs  favourite and her companions against the  un-dead  company of the dreaded Akanaton. To find the blood gems  lost in the jungle after a ritual.

 Akanaton, Anck Su  Namun, 2 guards  2 cobras 3 gangs of Zombies and 2 Robbers

 Ipy, Ast her adventurer friend, 2 bodyguards a group of slave girls and  chip the  Dog

basic starting scenario 4 plot points perisl near the points

 Akanaton and his  un-dead enter the area "Find the  gems my followers"

 Ipy rushes into the   land intent on getting the gems before the  dreaded one.

 A cobra slides forward to find victims 

 the Tomb robber advances inot the camp seeking the gems

 Anck Su  Namun passes the perils and grabs the first point her power brushing aside any peril

 Akanaton enters the camp  issuing orders to move fast and  get the prizes

 Ipy spots the  lurking Cobra and strikes with her  throwing stones

 the  reptile is out of the game

 The robber spots the slave girls and attack thinking poor defenceless girls  

 Ast gets past a plot point and  is wounded in the process 

 A gurad fails and is down trying to grasp a gem

 the slave girls  fight  the robber he is outnumbered and realise his folly, he falls to there  skills

 another robber falls to Ipys stones

 Akanatons magics fell a loyal bodyguard

 A guard rushes the slave girls 

 Chip dives into a mob of Zombies

 But is taken out by there claws and teeth

  a loyal bodyguard is surrounded

 Ast now recoved recives another group of  Undead who race at her

 she falls on there first attacks

 But rises and  dispatches the un-dead in a sweep of her blade

 the slave girls  fall as the guard is knocked out the   evil cobra sealing there fate

 Ipy saves the  Loyal bodyguard from the last un-dead

   Anck Su  Namun gets another plot point, but is spotted by Ast

 Ipy seeks her friends who are fallen around seeing Ast attack   Anck Su  Namun 

 the  fight ensues, dark magic against  hardened steel

 a guard falls attempting the  final plot point

 Ast and   Anck Su  Namun drop each other as the  last #cobra seeks an easy kil on the fallen  fighter

 Akanaton grabs the plot point  he believes he has victory

but the  Cobra falls to a weakened Ast and then both her and   Anck Su  Namun are out of the game, leaving there 3 plot points

 Ipy grabs the  final plot points giving her 3 to Akanatons 1 victory to the  brave girl

Conclusions, really enjoyed it and found it flowed very well the solo cards are great. I believe i have mastered the concepts about 85% and  will now play more.

Thank you Dave and co for the  push back inot the game......
