Level 10 Game of Pulp City Supreme Edition

Excepted from the Pulp City Gazette, published on Feb 24, 2016.

Time Bombs Have Explosive Results at Fairgrounds

Reports were received that two time bombs had been planted down at the old Pulp City Fairgrounds. Several members of the Ape Revolution Committee arrived and tried to dispose of one, while a motley array of heroes tried to dispose of the other. Iron Train hauled one explosive over to the speedy Androida who dropped it off in a remote area. Silverager failed to dispose of the other time bomb which went off in the middle of the grounds.


Although no innocent civilians were hurt in the fracas, hundreds of dollars in property damage was caused when the two groups began attacking one another. Granted, no one is likely to put in a claim for repairs since the the Fairgrounds have sat empty for quite some time.

Many eye-witness accounts seem to disagree, but many report that the members of the ARC seemed confused that Guerrilla, their on-again off-again leader, had taken up arms against them and quickly launched into battle against the heroes.

It appears that Gentleman, Red Riding Hoodoo, Foxxy Blade and some local vigilantes cornered Silverager and Howler near the old games area, with the intent of stopping the two from disposing the the ticking explosive. They weren't up to the task, but Guerilla and Gentleman stopped them in their tracks after disposing of the pesky Le Murtiple.

The ARC released a statement via Twitter earlier this morning:

"These so-called heroes stopped us from protecting the old fairgrounds and put ARC members and local Pulp Citizens at risk last night. They're not the protectors you think they are and will pay for their assault against the ARC!"

None of the heroes reported to have been involved in last nights' event have chosen to comment.

The game took us quite a while and was the first time we used one of the plots. We haven't played in a few months and the first turn was lengthy while we read abilities and started remembering synergies amongst the characters we had chosen.

My team was made up of Ace of Wraiths, Iron Train, Androida, Foxxy Blade, Red Riding Hoodoo w/ Zombie Wolf, Guerrilla and a pair of vigilantes. The ARC forces included Le Murtiple, Howler, Apebot and Virus, and Dr. Red. I opted to split up, focusing a few supremes on taking out the pesky (but dangerous) Le Murtiple while the rest went after Silverager and Howler. It seemed pretty unlikely that I'd be able to take out the big guy in four turns.

I put the table together using a bunch of the Plastcraft Games pre-coloured "Dark Circus" sets. It looks good but is a little pricey for what you get in my opinion.


Every time we play a game of Pulp City I'm reminded how fluid the game plays and just how much fun it is. I'm already looking forward to the next time we get it on the table. I think we're just about ready to add in the agendas and really start playing the game with all the rules. I've a few things to finish on the hobby table, but when I get back to Pulp City I'll be tackling the paint work on all of my Grimm figures.

It was good fun, but took longer than we had expected. We will know better for next time, perhaps a slightly smaller game size...

Farewell Ozzy!

This afternoon I found out that the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away. Although I've been a fan since my early teens, I am surprised at how strong my reaction to the news has been. I had missed out on catching the Black Sabbath farewell show a few weeks back during live stream, so I've not yet seen it. A friend of mine told me about a few days after, and I'm looking forward to watching it when it becomes available. I've had the good fortune of seeing Ozzy perform twice; once at an outdoor stadium show with Zakk Wylde on guitar, and once with Black Sabbath several years later. I remember more about the experience of those shows than the specific details, and could not tell you set lists or anything like that. His impact on music and pop culture, both as a member of Black Sabbath and a solo artist simply cannot be understated. As impactful and important as that is, it also hits me that his children have lost their father, which happened to me at the end o...

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 ...
