Let's Break Some Stuff!
Do you dream of swinging on a vine into a temple of an ancient evil, just in time to kick the forbidden scroll from the hand of the cult leader? Do you yearn to play a character dripping in quips, who can stand on the wing of a steadily ascending biplane, and who maybe, maybe just happens to "Know Kung-Fu"? Then Pulp Cthulhu is the game for you!
Some players have lamented the fact that when a Call of Cthulhu© investigator gets in a brawl with a cultist, afterwards he needs to be hospitalized for four months with three more months of physical therapy. If that's not your style of adventure, Pulp Cthulhu comes to the rescue. Investigators are tougher, more durable and are ready to take on the rowdy and sometimes crazy adventures that once filled pulp magazines. It's still Call of Cthulhu, but the rules here have been tuned for the lively style of game play.
To further your fun, this rulebook comes with some pulp adventures that are ready to play:
- The Disintegrator - A wealthy scientist hires the heroes to gatecrash a private auction, and acquire a device known as a “disintegrator.”
- Waiting for the Hurricane - Stranded on an island in the Florida Keys, the heroes must ride a hurricane to safety, and uproot the sinister plans of a cult seeking to use the weather as a cover for their dark deeds.
- Pandora's Box - The fabled artifact “Pandora’s Box” is now housed in a local nightclub as a publicity stunt—but otherworldly bad luck seems to follow all those who chance upon it.
- Slow Boat to China - A voyage from San Francisco to Shanghai promises rest and relaxation, but an evil intent on controlling powers from beyond ensures this trip will be anything but restful.
This 272-page full-color hardback is beautifully produced and chock full of great artwork.
