Worlds of Pulp: New Adventures Await
Hey everyone, T. Glenn Bane here! It’s been a while, but I’ve got some incredible news to share with you all—especially my die-hard fans. I’ve been hard at work since last year, diving back into the core rulebook for Bare Bones Beyond, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the most complete version of our dynamic system, henceforth simply called the Worlds of Pulp™ Mechanic (WPM)!
This new system will retain the simple basics you love, but it’s packed with so much more. We’ve added exciting new archetypes, a comprehensive guide for developing your own Pulp worlds, and even archetype and world-building sheets to help you fully realize these worlds. Plus, there’s a pretty extensive monster encounter, and vehicle section that covers a variety of popular pulp themes, so you can dive into your adventures with minimal wait time!
What excites me most about this updated game isn’t just how customizable or fast it is, or even the freedom it gives you to develop your character. What I’m truly proud of is that you won’t need to rebuy any of the world books you already own. I’ve made sure key terms are consistent in the new system so books like Rotwang City: The City of Shadows or Davey Beauchamp’s Amazing Pulp Adventures can still be used without any extra purchase. When I started designing games, I promised myself I’d never make you rebuy the same content repeatedly. Your support means the world to me, and I’m honored to bring these worlds to you.
While I can’t come to each of your homes to play, I hope this game brings a bit of my gaming table to yours. You might have noticed some of my books have been off the market lately. That’s because I didn’t want to sell old versions of the rules. Here’s why: once the new rules are ready, I plan to send a digital copy to everyone who previously bought the rules. I believe everyone deserves the most up-to-date experience at no extra cost.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m back, and you can expect brand new things from me, Scaldcrow Games, and our dedicated team. We’re a small group, but we’re deeply committed to delivering something special to your gaming tables. There is still a wee bit of a wait (a few months) before it becomes available for sale. Until then I will be putting up new materials for free here on Geek Opera. Thanks for sticking around, and get ready for a whole new level of fun!
