Shameless Plug

[Guest Confusinator]

The Amazing Adventures Pulp campaign has been revived (hopefully). I'm working on the website again. I hope some of you will find the information on it useful.

I will take requests if anyone wants to see more specific content.

Is Donald himself helming the charge? If so... Pof Olman wants to say, "Yo!"

 

Ever thought about running a PBEM/PBP version of your pulp game???

Congrats, Confusing One! "Amazing Adventures!" (you forgot the exclamation point) is a very good website that I've referred a lot of pulp-HERO gamers to. I've seen your updates and the site is looking tres .

 

I hope your new campaign gets off the ground... both for your benefit and for the new stuff you'll doubtless put on the AA site for us to play with.

I sure am! Long time no hear, email me and let me know how things have been!

 

If I can get back into the groove of things, I might consider a PBEM game. I'll have to see how things go.

I've seen some of those posts, and I appreciate your support.

Desperate for a PBEM game? Confusinator was one of the scurvy dogs in my Pirates campaign and I should be making an appearance in his Pulp game shortly. Maybe we need to set something up.

Re: Shameless Hair Plug

 

Yes... I believe we do...

 

I will seek out the dreaded Donald's email address from his site!

 

This is cool!

 

As an aside, I wouldn't say I'm desperate... I am playing in a pretty good game or three. I've just got a long history with Confusinator (though not with that identity) and really liked the sound or your Pirate game.

 

Seemed Simulationist and moody. Pretty cool stuff, IMO.

Glad to see Chandra as the player of your delectable Private Eye, Confusinator!!!

Appearance: Personality: Wallace loves his mother and sister dearly and would do anything to protect them. Beyond that, he is brash and naive seeing the world as mostly black and white. He would like to pursue a boxing career but has to provide a stable paycheck for his family.Quote:Background: Wallace was born to Daniel and Ida Nox in Spring Hill Kansas. His father died of influenza when he was only 13. Wallace had to take over running the farm. Times were hard and the bank foreclosed on the farm. Desperate to put food on the table for his mother and sister, Wallace joined the Marines and sent most of his paycheck back home. While in the Marines he took up Boxing which his size and dexterity made him a natural at.

 

When World War I started up, Wallace was sent to France. Ida hated having her son so far away and worse yet, in a war. She pleaded with him to leave the Marines and come back home. So immediately after the war, Wallace left the Marines and moved with his family to Kansas City where he found a job as a maintenance worker at the newly constructed Union Station. At night, he continued pursuing boxing at the local gym.

 

When Jim “Boss Tom†Pendergras organized a strike, Wallace refused to walk out; one because he needed his paycheck and two because he wanted nothing to do with the corruption involved. Wallace and Boss Tom crossed paths a few months later when Wallace refused to keep quiet about a murder he witnessed. The murderer worked for Boss Tom. The police were in Boss Tom’s pocket and the prosecution’s case would have fell through if not for the testimony Wallace gave on the stand.

 

A year later, Wallace put a couple of Boss Tom’s cronies in the hospital when he caught them beating up a prostitute, earning him even more of Boss Tom’s ire.

 

Boss Tom used his considerable influence to have Wallace fired from his job at Union Station and made sure to it that Wallace never finds work in Kansas City again.

Our second session is coming up! Wallace is ready to add more yaks...er...I mean to carry forth in the face of adversity.

 

I just realized I should have included Wallace's 'Letters Home' here. Drat!
