This is yet another sample PC for a Weird Pulp campaign I'm writing. He's not really that weird, but I hope he's not out of place in a pulp campaign. Any...
The other day I received a couple of supplements for the Conan role-playing game from Mongoose games “The Free Companies” and “Across Thunder River”....
I'm trying to come up with a game scenario for a local game day in October, using Risus. I wanted something in the vein of Big Trouble in Little China (but set...
... I like the senario, but the humorous end (It's a recepie!) conflicts with killing someone early on, I think. Especially if you're doing a more Big Trouble...
... Thanks for pointing it out, John. Maybe instead of murdering him, the bad guys just kidnap him. Or maybe a rival gang kidnaps him. He might not have...
