Also making notes for scenario's as well, might as well pick his brains, bound to get more than with my own.<br />CheersVagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031648950206231742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-66335546389778113612018-06-02T14:09:58.080+02:002018-06-02T14:09:58.080+02:00Biggles....

I think I had everything published in Swedish. <br />All gone now, I'm afraid, and that's really a shame as it would be fun to re-read one or two.<br />Or, maybe it is good, so I still have that rose-tinted feel about Biggles (or should it be camouflage-tinted)Joakim Strömhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051664911310509718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-22411976155767269282018-06-02T02:14:38.099+02:002018-06-02T02:14:38.099+02:00You're right, I don't use anything fancy s...You're right, I don't use anything fancy so these wouldn't fit in.

If you happen to include them in that AAR I would certainly look, but only if it isn't to much boring job for you.Joakim Strömhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051664911310509718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-90591975890828007172018-06-01T14:49:29.608+02:002018-06-01T14:49:29.608+02:00Hi Joakim for the Horror Deck I used the Pulp Alle...Hi Joakim for the Horror Deck I used the Pulp Alley ones and I got 11 others from somewhere, but I can't find the sheet, I did transfer them onto the same sized cards as the PA ones and shuffled them all together.<br />There were some that would be ideal for you, such as Martyr - Suicidal charge, Kneel and Pray until horror is killed, Stand Transfixed, that sort of thing.<br />If you are interested I can continue to look for it or I'm hoping to post the Hunt for Mary Scroggins Continues and I could type them out on that, they are not in the PA format but have the same sort of idea's.<br />Let me know if you are interested.<br />Cheers<br />JohnVagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031648950206231742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-26662154918614111902018-05-31T20:14:14.666+02:002018-05-31T20:14:14.666+02:00Thank you, John.

I've got quite a lot of failed tests in the game that didn't do much and some that were more positive than negative. But the deck is fun and makes all your plans go south, which I rather like, but that's me. <br />Suora Innocenza failing a check and become enraged and start shooting was rather fun and in this case not at all positive. Very much her.<br />Soura Maledetta did remarakbly well, and I think she might have had an angel at her side this game, helping her a bit :-)<br />I believe she'll have a bright future in this league. <br />There is another acolyte, Suora Morta, waiting in the wings (actually waiting for paint to dry. She feels semi-naked now, which is not proper for a nun) and she will take up the role her bother, Soldato Morto, has now. I'm afraid Il Duce have other plans for him, as he is currently studying Spanish.<br />More nuns for the people, that can never be a bad thing :DJoakim Strömhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051664911310509718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-81212048511083008492018-05-31T01:39:58.488+02:002018-05-31T01:39:58.488+02:00Another great read, really enjoyed it.

I'm a bit dissapointed that you chose the wrong card for Suora Innocenza and she ran away at first but then you came to your senses and picked the right card and she returned to her old self in style.<br />Her acolyte the feisty young Suora Maledetta did remarkably well against that beaky thing, you should promote her, young blood is needed in the CSSS and she spilt a lot of it today.<br />The horror deck seems to work ok, I used it in a game I played recently are you happy with it?<br />Sorry for being late, I re-read part one again before reading this and then my tablet packed up, I'm using Mrs Vagabonds, she doesn't know I've borrowed it.<br />A final - well done<br />Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031648950206231742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-72911486326263318682018-05-28T22:27:22.613+02:002018-05-28T22:27:22.613+02:00The Smog minis were perfect.

I guess they will come in handy in other pulp-games in the future.<br />I think the terrain is the problem with this scenario as most people don't have a carnival to just set up. But when you have it is a great scenario.Joakim Strömhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051664911310509718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-44867276830571832902018-05-28T22:22:32.931+02:002018-05-28T22:22:32.931+02:00Thank you, really appreciated!

The carnival set up looks good.
