For Out of Character Discussion.

So it looks like the pulp rules are different to the B movie ones. What are stunt points and talents?

From the rules it looks like they can be spent to do something amazing.  There's a laundry list of options in the rules: succeeding at a non-combat task no matter the difficulty, avoiding damage, etc.

You start each session with 6 stunt points.  Our GM will have to tell us what constitutes a session here, since there's no benefit to having points left at the end of the session.

Talents are extra bonuses.  For example, Monkey Climb gives Andrei a +2 bonus to climb rolls.  Grit lets him, once per session, recover HP when reduced to 0 health in a fight.  There's a list in the rules, about half of which are +1/+2 to one of your abilities (+1 for the basic talent, if you already have that the advanced talent gets you +2).

Like I said I only have the B movie rules and there isnt anything like that in there. Could someone please post a list of talents so I can choose one?

You can buy the Pulp Rules in .pdf form for only $8.

Yes but I can't justify the purchase to my family.

If its a problem then I'll either continue without talents or bug out if you are requiring me to buy the rules to play.

I'll PM you.

How ready are you to start playing?

Born ready, sir!

I'll be ready on Monday.

Also ready Monday.  I'm involved in a 24-hour gaming marathon tonight and Sunday, and likely won't recover until Monday.

OK, I'm going to get the first post up now, since it is almost Monday my time...

Hi all.

Before I post. How well do we know each other?

Presumably Mrs Taylor knows us all otherwise she wouldn't have telegraphed us but how does she know us all? What would make us meet her at the station?

You've worked together on something before - I'll let you decide which. She's offered you an interesting assignment that will pay well to boot.

I'm trying to give Jock a Scots flavour without going all-out dialect. Let me know if it's a PITA to read, and I'll dial it back.

Im trying to alter Daniel's speach, too, but its hard to know how to mix Welsh and Cockeny into a single sentence :->

I'd just throw in the odd 'boyo', 'isn't it?' and occasional rhyming slang. We can't represent the Welsh or Scottish accent directly.
