Title: Pulp Monster Hunting in Egypt
Post by: sunjester on 06 April 2024, 10:54:34 AM
I am gearing up for trying out a new set of rules, When Nightmares Come, the latest offering in the Osprey blue book series.
Although the rules are set in the contemporary era, I am going for a 1920s pulp setting, to match minis and terrain in my collection.
My random musings so far are on the blog

Interesting enough, so far. (err... this might sound different than what I intend? This is where autism messes with my head. I've read your blog posts and am interested to read further.)

Do the rules provide an optional Solo mechanic, or when you play Solo, will you be adding in your own methods?

Thank you chaps.

Roy, no problem. I am used to dealing with Last Hussar, so I am used to it! ;D
Plus my sister is fairly well along the spectrum!

The rules are designed for solo or co-op play, so no problem there.

Oi! I've got a medical diagnosis and everything.  Stop picking on the disabled,  that's why we have Orcs.

Thank you. That is interesting to know. I'll make a note of the rule book's name.
