I think you might be the muscle.

We need a character with the steely resolve and heroic mein of the ilk of Phyllis Crukshank!

Posted: **Thu May 27, 2021 6:24 pm**

Ah now there’s a formidable lady with an iron umbrella. She probably sells mythos-entity jam at the local fete.
We had some characterful characters in Mr Handy’s last Dr Who game.

Posted: **Fri May 28, 2021 3:48 am**

We certainly did. Jan Hathaway-De Beers looks to be cut from similar cloth. She reminds me in some ways of Marion Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Ark. With her 95 CON, she could probably drink anyone under the table.

Posted: **Sat May 29, 2021 5:46 am**

Spot on! I’d forgotten about her; I almost took iron liver as a talent.
CON 95 does seem crazily high. I don’t have the Pulp rule book yet (imminent birthday present I hope) so I used The Dhole House character generator at default pulp level so I hope that fits.
I’m looking forward to playing some tabletop pulp as well.

Posted: **Sat May 29, 2021 5:55 am**

Excellent character!

Marian Raveneood meets Karen Blixen! And quite possibly the toughest member of the team.

You have to go around saying, "I had a fahhm in Ahhfrika."

Posted: **Sat May 29, 2021 4:07 pm**

In Pulp Cthulhu, you get to roll a stat of your choice on (1D6+13) x 5, so you can get a 95 if you're very lucky.

Posted: **Sat May 29, 2021 4:35 pm**

Yeah, my character Alex Malone has a POW of 95. Pity his other stats are rather more mundane.

Posted: **Sun May 30, 2021 1:35 am**

Is there room for one more? (And is there a niche you need filling? I was thinking of either a martial artist Outsider, or a Hard-Boiled type but with a more elegant veneer).

Posted: **Tue Jun 01, 2021 9:32 am**

With your character, we get 6, the limit that I accept.
Very well, your character can be a student of the MU. The group need someone with "ninja" skills (like stealth, locksmith). And write a couple of lines about the double character.

Posted: **Tue Jun 01, 2021 8:37 pm**

I'll get back to you in a day or so.

Edited: Posted for approval. One of her Pulp Talents is Handy - given her backstory, I had the idea of swapping a couple of the skills it applies to.

Posted: **Thu Jun 03, 2021 1:30 am**

June is another great character! She should have 19 HP rather than 17. Would Locksmith also include the making of locks (which would free up skill points for other skills)?

Thanks! I mistyped rather than miscalculated

Posted: **Fri Jun 04, 2021 10:10 am**

No, making locks is a different skill (and you correctly included in craft). You can atually make keys with locksmith and dismantle locks, but not create them.
You need now to create your shadow character in 2 lines (unless it is your father) and we are ready to go.

Yeah, it most likely would be. (Btw, are you ok with my proposed changes to which skills Handy applies to?).

My knowledge of South America is pretty average.

I saw something about one or another country in South America that lost its only sea port in a border war. But to this day it maintains a landlocked navy.

Does that ring any bells with anyone?

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:01 am**

That's Bolivia. They have a navy but no coast line (although Lake Titicaca is pretty big). I think they lost their access to the sea in a war with Chile. Paraguay is the other landlocked South American country.

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 8:21 am**

That's the one! I can only imagine what pursuing a career in the Bolivian Navy must be like...

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 4:52 pm**

Paraguay tried to get an access to the sea by waging a war against several neighbors in the XIX century at the same time (Brazil, Argentina Uruguay and some others) and it didn't end well.

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:39 pm**

I'm reminded of the episode of Red Dwarf where Lister is teaching Kryten the android how to lie. He shows him a banana and asks him what it is. Kryten keeps trying to say it's an apple, but he can't. Then he finally has a breakthrough and is able to say the pieces of fruit Lister shows him are all sorts of things. He calls one of them "the Bolivian Navy on maneuvers in the South Pacific." Then Rimmer comes in and Lister tries to demonstrate what he taught Kryten.

Lister (holding up a banana): What's this?
Kryten: It's a banana.
Rimmer: You taught him that? I'm impressed.
(or something along those lines)

Ok, feeling dumb here. Can someone explain how to roll the dice in a post?

Posted: **Thu Jun 17, 2021 3:07 am**

There's a discussion of the new dice roller in this thread. Basically, you need to click the Dice rolls tab below the post to roll the dice. Then the dice roll will appear there, and you can click the first action by each roll to place it inline in the post.

Could someone enlighten me on the new spoiler buttons? How do you keep a titled button and stop it reverting to ‘spoiler’?

So this is the standard button:

And this is if you set the first tag to say 'Spoiler-Button=Blahblahblah' inside the square brackets (and ignoring the quotation marks):

Kabukiman, I like the way you made the soldiers Germans to dovetail with our previous adventures.

Thanks!
When I started the cmpaign, I had the idea of linking together all 4 scenarios. But when I read the last 2 scenarios, I saw it was nearly impossible. In this campaign it is actually easier to make an alliance between the 2 evil groups, so I can keep the nazis.

Posted: **Tue Aug 10, 2021 1:37 pm**

Fighting Nazis is the very definition of Pulp!

Posted: **Thu Nov 11, 2021 10:14 am**

Sorry to hear it. Do not be licking anyone with symptoms!! In fact, lick no strangers at all for the time being.

Here in Australia, we're pleased to see the far right end of the US press is reporting that we (Australia) have descended into Nazi-esq totalitarian state and federal governments in a bid to keep COVID under control.

No offence to US members, it's not like our press is in any way better.

Posted: **Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:13 pm**

I guess the press can’t think of anything useful to report on like, maybe, the end of the planet as we know it, so they are resorting to making stuff up. Again.
If it helps, I’ve found that singing loudly anything by the BeeGees whilst walking down the street helps against covid.

Absolutely. Not sure of the exact order of people on the stairs but I think it's about to get real.

Posted: **Sat Nov 20, 2021 8:02 am**

Hell yeah!!

I still imagine this campaign as a pulp radio series from the 1940s or 50s, with lots of melodramatic over-acting, an enthusiastic narrator, and an over-excited studio orchestra in the background.

("Will our heroes make it to the bottom of the thousand foot stairwell in the ground? What ancient horror lies at its very base? And will Crowley ever be reunited with his beloved pet giant tarantula, Mr Fluffy?"

"Tune in for the next exciting installment, brought to you by Bex Headache Powder, for every headache.")

Posted: **Thu Dec 09, 2021 7:15 am**

Once again, not for the first time and hopefully not for the last, ignorance is bliss for Crowley.

Traditionally, in WWII movies, two Germans in uniform will be having an irrelevant conversation about how much they miss the Old Country, shortly before they are whacked by Our Heroes.

Hans: Willie, so you remember the edelweiss in the mountains?

Willie: What I wouldn't give to see them again. Or to sit by the river eating schnitzel (with noodles) and drinking a big stein off beer...

And so on.

I always feel a bit sorry for the German guards; they know they’ll never make it to the sequel.

'Are we the baddies?'

Posted: **Sun Feb 20, 2022 10:54 pm**

I was reminded of that one too. I also thought of the No One Lives Forever series of games, where if you sneak around, you can overhear goons holding various entertaining conversations with each other. Kind of makes you feel bad about having to take them down.

*LAUGH*

Spot on people!

Posted: **Tue Feb 22, 2022 12:53 pm**

In the first deus ex, you had guards having a conversation, saying they just wanted to finish this job as quick as possible and return home.
Even worst: a guard that I had killed had a diary. He had written that he regreted to have sign that job, it was nothing it had been promissed, it was awful. I feel bad.

Posted: **Wed Feb 23, 2022 12:15 am**

I've had Deus Ex for a long time, but I've never gotten around to playing it yet. I really should. I've heard it's excellent.

Posted: **Wed Feb 23, 2022 10:25 am**

As long as you don't mind the visuals (the game has more than 20 years). But is a way better game than Deus ex 3 or 4

Posted: **Wed Feb 23, 2022 11:16 pm**

I don't mind dated visuals at all. I've been playing a bunch of classic games lately from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2022 4:54 am**

Crowley is trying to pick the right time to throw his knife. It would be silent but some Nazi is probably going to notice a knife in his thigh. Crowley is holding off as long as he thinks Jan can keep taking pot-shots with her nasty toy.

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2022 9:47 pm**

I finished Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II last night, so I decided to play Deus Ex next. I bought it last weekend on GoG because it was on sale for less than a dollar. I already have at least one physical copy, but this saves me the trouble of digging it out and configuring it to work on my modern computer. I also got the free mod bundle upgrade Deus Ex Revision from GoG for it, which updates the graphics and audio, adds new features, and has various other improvements, so the visuals won't be dated (except in the training level, which is not updated). I can now play it in full 4K.

Posted: **Mon Mar 07, 2022 10:30 am**

Mr Handy:
Have fun!

Crowley: it is a new turn he can throw the knife.

Posted: **Fri Mar 11, 2022 8:21 am**

Mr H, was just trying to remember the double-barrel rules myself for 7th ed.

General consensus on the internet seems to be attack 1 target with both barrels is 2 rolls but no penalty.

Attack 2 different targets then incurs the usual bane dice.

But I can't really find anything specifically about it in the pdf of the rules I have. My rules may be out of date.

Posted: **Fri Mar 11, 2022 3:25 pm**

I too am having to guess; I’m sure I’ve seen blowpipe stats somewhere but can’t find them. So I’m assuming they are tipped with curare poison but that Jan’s only got three darts prepared for this fight.
Does that seem okay?

Posted: **Fri Mar 11, 2022 4:18 pm**

This is in some footnote in the Keeper's guide:
Uses per Round: Number of attacks that can be initiated per combat round (does not affect number of times a character may fight back with a melee weapon). Most firearms may fire one bullet without penalty; more bullets up to the maximum (shown by the number in brackets) may be fired, but each shot is taken with a penalty die. Some weapons have burst or full auto capability, when using this, use the automatic fire rules. For shotguns firing twice at the same target, no penalty is taken for the second shot, but if the second shot targets a different opponent, that shot is made with a penalty.

Perfecto!

Thank you, Meph.

Safe to say, one way or another, these poor Nazis won't be collecting any more eidelweiss, schnitzels, or steins of lager.

Need to look at the story, this time I lost track (it was an entire year, sorry).

Yes, I decide that you recover all the luck after the scenario but don't increase. Let's face it, in a campaign like this, certain characters could finish with more than100 points of luck.

Posted: **Wed Jun 15, 2022 9:21 am**

Only Aine is missing.

Posted: **Wed Jun 15, 2022 11:30 pm**

Thank you once again, Kabukiman, for another totally amusing and entertaining Pulp Adventure! These adventures make me laugh!

(Quite surprised Crowley is not dead yet but, on the other hand, he is part snake now.)

Posted: **Thu Jun 16, 2022 11:30 pm**

Yeah, thanks, I've refreshed skills and luck. I'm pretty surprised poor old Alex the priest is still going strong too! I think he'd like to get hold of some of those Serpent People artefacts.

Posted: **Fri Jun 17, 2022 1:34 am**

If Crowley starts learning Parseltongue, will it make the party nervous?

Posted: **Mon Jun 20, 2022 3:48 pm**

Aine you need to make rolls to the following skills:
Spott hiden
Rifle
First aid
Natural world
Blowpipe

To everyone:
You can increase 1 point in 1 characteristic (STR, CON, SIZ, DEX, APP, INT, POW, EDU) and eventually move, HP, Magic points, damage bonus (if your main characteristic increased) but you cannot change or increase the derived stats like luck or san.
OR:
You can increase 6 points in any skill (even if you have 0).

Posted: **Mon Jun 20, 2022 7:17 pm**

Presumably not in Cthulhu Mythos or any of the Mythos languages?

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2022 2:57 am**

Do you mean we get to increase a characteristic by 1 point or 5? 1 point isn't that much with 7th edition stats. I'm thinking of boosting my DEX even higher.

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2022 8:09 am**

Magic!

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2022 9:16 am**

I was thinking in the good old scale of 1-20. You are right, it is 5.

No mythos,but you can increase nahacal or Hiperborian.

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2022 11:22 am**

I think Crowley is just going to have to raise his Handgun skill to 94%.

That seems suitably Pulp.

Posted: **Wed Jun 22, 2022 3:39 am**

I'll take the 5 points of DEX then. That also raises my base Dodge skill, giving me a couple of extra points there.

Do we get extra occupational skill points for raising a stat on which they are based?

Does raising a skill to 90% or higher still give you +2D6 Sanity, like it did in 6th edition?

Posted: **Wed Jun 22, 2022 6:01 pm**

I also will be raising my Dex by 5 which raises my Dodge by 3

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 6:55 pm**

Dice rolls
Spot hidden: 83 increase: 9 ....49
Rifle: 77 increase: 5 ........ 75
First aid: 76 increase: 5 ........45
Natural world: 26 increase: 0......70
Blowpipe: 67 increase: 4........40
I think it makes sense for Jan to increase her otherworldly knowledge as this has been her first experience of it and she hungers for more. As I can’t take Mythos, could I put 6 points into occult, taking it to 16?

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 10:46 pm**

If Alex studies the items from the temple would he be more likely to learn nahacal or hyperborean?

Nahacal

Posted: **Mon Jun 27, 2022 10:47 pm**

Nahacal it is then.

What a shock! I saw that my account had been suspended and I was thinking what I did wrong...

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2022 12:04 pm**

Me too. I thought my bad language has finally got me into serious trouble!

Posted: **Sat Jul 09, 2022 2:27 am**

The site's account had gone down after it expired, apparently. Carnage_lee had to reactivate it.

Posted: **Sat Jul 09, 2022 5:52 am**

Phew. Thank you, Carnage_lee.

Where might be an emergency site or somewhere else to leave an SOS should we ever get locked out of this account for some reason?

Posted: **Sat Jul 09, 2022 6:06 am**

There's a Discord server that Dave set up that's associated with this site.

There's also Yog-Sothoth.com

Thank you, that’s good to know.

Apologies all, have the dreaded COVID, may be a bit slow this week.

Posted: **Wed Jul 27, 2022 10:40 pm**

I'll be away from the 29th July for 2wks so I'll be posting sporadically if at all.

Posted: **Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:09 am**

I'm very sorry to not be able to post this past days.

Posted: **Fri Jul 29, 2022 2:28 am**

All good!

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2022 11:24 am**

Time to spruce Crowley up with a new look.

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2022 10:27 pm**

Quite the dapper gentleman.

Posted: **Wed Aug 17, 2022 2:05 am**

The fabulous Matthew MacFadyen as Charles Cholmondeley from Operation Mincemeat. Captures my image of Crowley perfectly.

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2022 6:29 pm**

That's a bit younger than I thought of for Crowley but good pic.

Posted: **Sat Aug 20, 2022 2:56 am**

His grumpiness and general cynicism makes Crowley seem older.

Posted: **Fri Sep 02, 2022 1:48 pm**

I have make a major change in the campaign, but don't worry, you won't notice. It is simply that in the book, Mu is in the atlantic and for me that is a major no (atlantis is in the atlantic, Mu in the pacific- I know those are just mythic lands but even so...).

Hi!
In my other game (a traveller game) one of the players just leaved and I wanted to ask if just by chance any of you is interested to play? You can play one of the existing characters or a new one.

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2022 10:43 am**

For those not already in, it's really good fun! Very old school: K-man is using the original rules and there's something endearing about them.

Cheers,

Snapper

PS There's a nice program that will generate a character for you in no time, no need to understand too much about the rules.

PPS I have a PDF of the original (1970s) rules books if anyone wants. Legitimately. Lemme know.

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2022 7:43 pm**

Traveller was always one of those games I wanted to play but never did back in the day (along with Twilight 2000 and FASERIP). I'd be up for it but know nothing about Traveller in terms of lore or rules. Where could I get the rules to classic Traveller, are we looking 70s or 80s rules?

ETA: $3 for the facsimile edition on DTRPG seem doable!

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2022 6:36 am**

This is the very original rules, that started life as 3 little books.

I believe you have found the correct one.

Guys, I won't post for the next days, so...
A Merry Christmas for all of you!

Merry Christmas, one and all!

Posted: **Fri Dec 23, 2022 5:50 am**

Merry Xmas!

Also, I think the conversation has become a bit confused. Crowley and Jan are talking to Capt Lancaster, British Army, who doesn't know anything about the bomb and will not have heard what Shapiro said.

Various party members have been talking to Shapiro, who is not connected to the British military but, on the other hand, is responsible for the bomb.

Posted: **Fri Dec 23, 2022 6:05 am**

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Yes, captain Lancaster only know about the quarantine and some disease; he doesn't know anything about the bomb (and he isn't suppose to know).
Shapiro knows about the bomb and the quarantine.

Posted: **Fri Jan 06, 2023 8:41 am**

My suspicion is there is nothing our intrepid PCs can do about the bomb, we just have to manage in the time we have...

Posted: **Sat Jan 07, 2023 8:00 pm**

Bomb? There’s a bomb???!

Posted: **Mon Jan 09, 2023 10:11 am**

Yeah, someone should talk your character about that...

Posted: **Mon May 01, 2023 7:19 pm**

Guys, I wont be able to post this week. I shall resume next week.

Posted: **Tue May 02, 2023 7:16 am**

. All good.

I'm away for a week with rubbish internet so posting will be sporadic or non-existent,

Oh dear...

Posted: **Thu Jun 08, 2023 12:10 am**

Just waiting to see what the Psych + Spot Hidden rolls revealed.

Posted: **Thu Jun 15, 2023 9:14 am**

Sorry for not posting, but I have covid, and until I get better I won't post.

Posted: **Thu Jun 15, 2023 2:58 pm**

That's fine. Take care of yourself first. Hope you feel better soon!

Posted: **Thu Jun 15, 2023 3:52 pm**

Sorry to hear that! It does explain the unusual silence.

Don't rush the recovery, drink lots of fluids, take painkillers for the headaches and temperatures, that's my highly unqualified advice. Supermarket home delivery and uber eats are good things. And also, COVID sucks!

Team, I'm going to hold off posting any further until Mr Kabukiman starts posting again. Crowley is waiting on the results of successful skill rolls that might be important. But again, Mr K, don't rush the recovery. We'll wait.

Posted: **Fri Jun 16, 2023 5:06 am**

That's okay, take your time. I'm praying for you, and I hope you feel better. I've also heard that taking zinc and Vitamins C and D can help.

Posted: **Mon Jun 19, 2023 1:44 pm**

Hi guys.
Thanks for your concern, I'm much better now, we should resume tomorrow.

Posted: **Wed Jun 21, 2023 1:38 am**

Glad you're on the mend. Don't rush COVID recovery though, that can lead to long COVID symptoms.

On an unrelated note, team, I have absolutely no idea what is going on so Crowley is just going with the flow.

Posted: **Fri Jun 23, 2023 4:16 pm**

My bigger problem are still the lungs: I cannot walk much, because I start coughing. It will be about a month to get well (at leat it is summer here, so that should help).
Well, something has already happened, but you will only notice the consequences later
