Pulp Action Library: Astounding Tales! is a set of rules for mayhem, murder and Weird Horror set in the period between the 1920s and the end of the black-and-white B Movie era - Film Noir, hard-boiled novels, pulp magazines with Charles Atlas advertisements in the back, that sort of thing. A world where private eyes fight hoodlums, but where heroes – often cunningly disguised by wearing a small mask, which fools even their closest friends - save the world from ambitious mad scientists, laughably inept aliens and, quite often, the Germans. Check it out here at the Wargame Vault.
Astounding Tales depends on a very fast pace, not worrying about details too much, and an attitude that says that heroes (and their sidekicks, dames and others in white hats) should have an advantage over thugs, punks, zombies and other minions of the Evil Overlords.
This is the complete Second Edition of the game originally published by The Virtual Armchair General, on discount because we intend to bring out an updated Third edition in the not-unforeseeable future. Until then, we don’t want you to miss out on the pulp action brought by Astounding Tales!
