Weird and Gritty Upgrade

In 2016 we released the book Classic Characters: Weird and Gritty. Now, in 2022 we are revisiting that book. When it was first released, it was meant to expand the NPC character base of Rotwang City, and Davey Beauchamp’s Amazing Pulp Adventures. Since it was first released we have grown as a company and have added other books and cities, many of which are urban candidates for these characters.

This new version has the Extra Crunch rules applied to all of the characters, this makes it compatible with all Worlds of Pulp products. It will also be compatible with Worlds of Pulp products ongoing.

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?

We are planning this release for March first. Don’t worry, if you already have the old version, we are going to upgrade your copy automatically, and for free.

WHAT IS NEW IN THIS BOOK VERSUS THE ORIGINAL?

Well, it is not only upgraded to Extra Crunch rules, it also has a generic city inside, ready to be renamed and introduced into your world. Additionally there are guidelines for how to customize the city, or to make a new location all together.

There are mythic items that can be placed by you into plots. Each item is capable of changing the trajectory of any game into something more interesting, and certainly more dangerous.

The basic spells of the Xombi (pronounced CHOM-bee) tradition of magic are laid out. This is an original, pulp style spell system, based basically on Zombi magic and Pulp-Voodoo.

There is also a story hook generator that is designed to help make ongoing adventures using these characters.

Should I Buy This Book?

Heck yeah! This book will only contribute creative content, surprises, and challenge to your Worlds of Pulp games.
