From the website: 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.
