NickMiddleton Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 So, hard on the heels of the Magic World and associated announcements, Chaosium now reveal that they ALSO have a Pulp genre source book for BRP in the works for this year - Astounding Adventures... Interesting... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippyHippy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I guess this will double up well with the long awaited Pulp Cthulhu supplement...... Ahem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiGhost Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 As I've said elsewhere I'm very interested in this. I hope the action point and mook systems are handled well. Though it will have to be pretty amazing to beat White Wolfs' "Adventure!!!" IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Venomous Pao Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm jazzed at this announcement as well. What I'm hoping for is something on par with Hero's classic Justice, Inc. (or the subsequent Pulp Hero book). Give me all that stuff laid out for BRP and I'll be a happy, happy man.

ORtrail Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I also found Justice Inc. to be an excellent Pulp resource, but one created for BRP is most welcome. Probably a day one purchase for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankcam Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Wow! This looks great! I love the cover artwork, it's up there with the Pulp covers for WW Adventure, SW Thrilling Tales, and Hollow Earth. Really two-fisted pulpy stuff, brilliant. Although I got tired of waiting for Pulp Cthulhu and started my own Pulp Cthulhu campaign - just a few tweaks to the usual rules, and now I'm using 1920s Cthulhu resources & scenarios to run a Low Pulp campaign. Getting so much more mileage out of Call of Cthulhu now, alot of fun. I'ld like to see what the official Pulp rules are however, as it didn't take much to use the current BRP rules for Pulp actually. In any case this product is now certainly on my wish list!

Atgxtg Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 This is very interesting. It pushes the "envelope", and stretches the BRP game system in ways that it hasn't been.

Simlasa Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I never thought there was much point to putting out a Pulp Cthulhu book... CoC is already pretty much there IMO. But this sounds cool... especially if it aims more for the actual stories and variety of the Pulps, vs. 'Pulp' as shorthand for 'Whacky Action'. I'm not sure I want/need rules for mooks, but I'd be up for some games featuring The Spider or Doc Savage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'm not sure I want/need rules for mooks, but I'd be up for some games featuring The Spider or Doc Savage. I love using mook rules for BRP. It really impacts the flow of the game. Looking forward to reading this. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I love using mook rules for BRP. It really impacts the flow of the game. Looking forward to reading this. It depends on the setting and the mood of the adventure. I like mook rules as well, but I do not always use them. Most times I mix up some 'normal' NPCs with mooks, so the players never know if the 'harder NPCs are important or not.

Charles Green Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I love using mook rules for BRP. It really impacts the flow of the game. Looking forward to reading this. Huh. I wonder what the mook rules look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorpa Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hmm! I didn't know BRP needed mook rules. When want to differentiate between Important People and Non-Important People I would use the Total Hit Points option. Either way I am very curious to see what they look like. Astounding Adventures is for sure a book I will get. Been in the mood for some Indy style adventures actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hmm! I didn't know BRP needed mook rules. BRP doesn't need them so much as there presence steers to a different feel in play. Much like BRP doesn't need Sanity points. Dragon Lines utilizes mook rules to great effect. I'm looking forward to seeing Pulp's take on them.

Chorpa Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Not saying the mook rules is a bad thing will be interesting to see how they are formed. Don't have Dragon Lines so don't have anything to compare it too. Really looking forward to see this product either way since it covers a very loved genre. Takes me back to the early days where we used Chill to cover the the Pulp needs. Yes I know it was a horror game but for us it always felt more like a Pulp game. If we wanted real horror we would have played Call of Cthulhu ofcourse. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 ech, ignore me. That didn't sound teh way I wanted it to come out. Though I actually have had arguments on the validity of mook rules in BRP, so I blame that for my twitchy finger. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sladethesniper Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Pulp CoC?? Where is this fabled book? A question on the BRP Pulp book, does it have any rules for Mad Science or Steampunk? If so, I will buy this... -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_clapham Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Could this rule set be Pulp Cthulhu with the sanity points filed off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I would guess that a lot of the content for Pulp Cthulhu has found its way into the this book. I think it makes sense to put out a classic Pulp book, and possibly just add some footnotes of how to involve the Mythos if a Pulp Cthulhu campaign is desired. BTW does anyone have a firm idea of a release date?

tedopon Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The Orient Express apparently derailed other projects. Seems there's a lot of "derailing" at Chaosium. Points for the sweet wordplay, though. Quote 121/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
