Return to Pulp City

I knew it had been quite some time since I posted anything here, but I didn’t realize it was pre-covid!

I have been hobbying over the years, apparently just not posting about it. Perhaps I’ll remedy that and start posting regularly again. I’ve got quite the backlog I can discuss if not new things.

Just this week I built and primed 40 new Supremes for Pulp City. These are all characters by Kitbash Games, from their season 1 Supers Unlimited Kickstarter that they ran back in 2019.

It's been a long time since I got Pulp City on the table, gaming or hobby. I do have several original figures painted, and was just going to set up a few to refresh myself on the rules. However, it appears that all the cards for my figures (not to mention all my unbuilt/unpainted models are in an unlabelled box in one of the closets somewhere.

So since I knew where this box of minis were, I made a little project of it. It took me two evenings to clean up and glue the figures together. The casts were overall very clean and a lot of them were single part figures. Another evening with some white glue and basing materials, then a few minutes outside for primer.

I aim to get a two teams of 5 to 7 levels painted up over the next few days so that I can get that rules refresher going. Hopefully it won't be another six years before my next update!

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Errata Discussion

Here's my first-ever joint article! Thanks to Scott Mooney for providing counter-point to my ramblings. Following the release of Marvel Universe and Marvel Evolution there has been a lot of discussion among our player group (and online) about the powers of certain cards, both in terms of sheer power and in terms of wording. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the debate brought on by the 3-cost, Exiles-affiliated Blink. We'll not be discussing that particular card today, but rather some other combinations you may or may not have thought of. Scott has built a very deadly Starjammers/X-Factor/X-Men deck that takes advantage of discard effects and Energize to lead to an amazing turn 7 combo using Cyclops, Astonishing X-Man and Havok, Proud Son. This combo can stun an opponent's board if they are unable to pay the discard required by Havok's ability. It is especially dangerous in a multi-player format and brought up some thoughts on designer intent versus the ...
