NEU PULP ALLEY - Rulebook 2nd Edition

The thrill-packed Pulp Alley game, with all the rules need to bring dashing heroes, dastardly villains, and pulse-pounding action to your gaming tabletop. Includes six thrilling scenarios.

2nd Edition

This is the eighth book written for Pulp Alley. We are grateful for the positive response and suggestions we have received over the past five years from players. The changes we made to some of the rules of Pulp Alley were not taken lightly, and nothing was changed simply for the sake of change. For 2nd Edition, we looked at where we could improve and make the game even more enjoyable to play. In addition, we have clarified existing rules and made the rules more consistent. Finally, to make it easier for players, we have included many rules that had previously been spread across multiple books.

This book is intended to replace our Pulp Alley Rulebook and Pulp Leagues. Otherwise, this version of the rules is intended to be compatible with our existing cards and campaign books.

PULP ALLEY, RULE #1: HAVE FUN

Pulp Alley captures the fast-paced excitement of classic cliffhanger serials and pulp magazines to more modern action/adventure stories. Designed primarily as a multi-player miniatures game, each Pulp Alley scenario is jammed full of villains, unexpected perils, and plenty of two-fisted action.

Pulp Alley’s unique and innovative rules offer players a thrill-packed and engaging experience –

Pulp Alley plays at the pulse-pounding pace of your favorite pulps and serials. Characters are easy to create and customize, making each league unique. Players never need to consult charts during a scenario. The action is on the tabletop – not in a rulebook. Control of the Initiative is based on events as they occur during the scenario rather than an arbitrary die-roll. Fights are fast-paced and simultaneously dangerous for both characters, instead of the old I-shoot-then-you-shoot sequence. Perils and challenges are unpredictable and offer multiple paths to success. Scenarios are plot-driven, encouraging action, and offering an array of different rewards. Through campaigns and experience your characters can increase their skills and develop new abilities.
