Thread: Astounding Adventures! BRP goes Pulp!

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...

Very interesting....

I guess this will double up well with the long awaited Pulp Cthulhu supplement......

Ahem.

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.

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.

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.

Releasedate? Pdf avaible?

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!

This is very interesting.

It pushes the "envelope", and stretches the BRP game system in ways that it hasn't been.

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.
