Returning to my Pulp world and i have started a serial set of games using the Wonderful Astounding Tales from Howard Whitehouse, played them many times and the perfect game system for my ideas. I have for the first episode used the Astounding adventures scenario book and the first part of the "White slaves of the Red Empire" wrote by Matt Kelland. The Serial will be of my own mad worlds and characters. Jasko Stone Fear Agent. Hero and void adventurer.
I played the game and took pictures as always then laid out the whole game below
The cast good guys, left to right. Raj bodyguard and all round top fellow, Jasko Stone Fear Agent, Trent Conway Detective and Jaskos best friend and last but not least Lucy Law Adventurer and Doctor of physics ...
The Bad guys , Turk Shambles, nasty piece of work, Red Queen/ Psycola psychotic killer and the mighty Grunt strong man and enforcer
"La La Bucks" singer
Episode one:
"Bar of Doom"
The Episode take place in the shady bar of Corpse end.
La La is on stage singing to the clients,
A full bar of ruffians and dames.
Jasko and Raj watch the performance Notice Trent and Lucy also in the crowd
Turk and Grunt wander in and see there prize
Grunt not even bothering pushes his way to the stage
He jumps and shoves the girls aside grabbing La La "You come With me lady" La La screams and the music stops..
Jasko in a flash dives onto the Stage, as Grunt looks he is meet by a punch to his jaw
He is dropped like a tent peg, Jasko looks around and takes LaLa hand "come with me if you want to live".
The Bar client decide a better view of this situation?
Trent jump on the stage assisting Jasko, What the devil is going on Jasko?"
Jasko leads the singer off the stage, "Call for help Trent!"
A flash and bang red garbed figures drop from the roof and charge down the stairs
A cowed woman screams at the red Coweled attackers. "Get her you fools |
Trent is suddenly surrounded, he dives inot the attackers
A fist fight starts on the stage
La La in hand Jasko is suddenly ambushed by 2 attackers
Raj sees Lucy being stalked he charges and blocks the path of the red man.
More attackers appear, shoving aside the client and making for the fist fights
Trent knocks off the stage one attacker
Spins to face the red garbed woman who seems to be in charge he grabs for her
pulling off her hood after a struggle revealing an old foe and dangerous individual " Psycola what the hell". Treant is stunned for a second
Lucy and Raj scuffle as the clinet still flee the melee
Lucy head butts then drops on attacker charging her
Turk swings but misses Trent "You are not wanted her Cop" Psycola yelling, "Get the girl"
the bar is almost empty apart for the heroes and attackers
Jasko punches and fells the two attackers in a short but brutal punch up
As he tries to grab La La one rises and hits him head on
Trent is not taking this light he bashes Turk out as Psycola smashes a bottle over his head from behind
they struggle on the stage
Raj engages more Attackers he is floors another
Trent slaps Psycola down"Stay there you Crazy Bitch!"
there is a green flash inside the bar and the heroes blink to find the attackers have risen, diving merciless at the heroes
Tow fell the mighty Raj,
As Jasko still stunned blows land in on the floor
Turk smashes Trent on the back of the head, Psycola jumps off the stage grabbing La La, "get the hell out and deal with these vermin".
Struggling she pulls La La to the stairs.
Lucy still standing punches an attacker but Turk slams his shotgun stock inot her head she drops down out..
the Attackers smash the alcohol barrels as the leave
Psycola reaches the top of the Stairs escaping with her prize.
Turk run to the top of the stairs and turns, he smiles and drops a match on the alcohol stain floor, 'Enjoy hell", he runs out.
The heroes all unconscious are at the mercy of the now spredding flames
The Bar ignites and the building is engulfed in fire
it burn and then falls in on its self.
Are the heroes fate to be burnt alive?
the Villains victorious ?
the fate of poor La La unknown?
who is behind this vile act?
Next episode soon more adventures of Jasko Stone Fear Agent.....
I thoroughly enjoyed that, so much so I'm now following your blog. Really inspiring set up.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant stuff. Set up looks great!
ReplyDeleteNow this was an exciting episode! Can't wait for more. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat battle report Tony. It looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's a proper looking Pulp game, that is!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed that & as someone who owns the rulebook & the book the scenario is based upon you've given me ideas as to how I might stage this game (pun intended :)
ReplyDeleteI've a couple of questions if I may.
1 did you play it out solo ? & if you did did you make any changes to the rules.
2 how big of an area did you use for the game ?
Solo yes easy, the cards dictate who moves etc the enemies control is always either A: shoot, charge,fight or objectives in game also I use the civilians card for lots of things , the table will 3x3 or 2X2 works depending on your scenario.
DeleteOutstanding report and pictures!
