rustorod Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hello, I was going to pick up Pulp Cthulhu and was wondering if Astounding Adventures would also be a nice supplement to have too. I'm a COC newbie and picked up the 7th Edition rules. Thanks. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1d8+DB Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 'Astounding Adventures' was written for the BRP/6E rule-set, and while it does have some good stuff in it, you will have to do a little tweaking to make it work with 7th Edition rules. So bottom line, you could probably live without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have Astounding Adventures and I like it very much. I'm not using Pulp Cthulhu or 7th ed, but I would think that you would find AA inspirational if nothing else. There's been a huge amount of excellent material written pre-7th. You would be doing yourself and your players a disservice to pass it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Astounding Adventures was designed to accompany the BRP BGB, just like Pulp Cthulhu accompanies CoC 7E. Most things of use in AA has been superseded by the Pulp Cthulhu rules. I still use the Pulp plot generator and the Mook rules from Astounding Adventures, so I think the PDF version is worth it for that, but I certainly wouldn't rush out to buy the printed version. However I still love the cover art of that book Edited August 18, 2017 by Mankcam Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

rustorod Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks for the info. I'll probably get the PDF of AA for points mentioned. There were a few older COC supplements I was looking at down the road, but will wait till Im more comfortable with the game. Thanks.
