Two-Fisted Tales: Thrilling Pulp RPG (Second Edition)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Definitive RPG of Thrilling Pulp Action is Back in an All-New Second Edition!

Go back to the classic era of pulp adventure! Climb mountains, fight off dozens of gibbering goons, fly airplanes through ravines, defuse bombs, and solve murder mysteries before breaking for lunch. Jump right into the action by creating your very own pulp icon with customizable templates, from the costumed vigilante and hardboiled detective to magicians and tough scientists -- 15 standard templates, plus 8 special ones for alternate settings (like the pirate and barbarian), and 7 villainous templates (such as the mad scientist and femme fatale). Multiple power levels put you at the degree of realism (or lack thereof) you desire. 

Give your characters special gimmicks, including gadgets, mystical arts, hypnotic disciplines, magic spells, animal affinities, and even Golden Age superpowers. Guidelines for the gamemaster aid in creating pulp adventures, providing inspiration for plot hooks, goals, locales, villainous motivations and habits, hazards, and monsters.

Changes from the Revised Edition include:

  • Streamlined rules
  • Consistent ability Adds for determining derived attributes, such as Resistance, number of cards, and Background Points
  • Gritty and Escapist are the base power levels, with Fantastic, Legendary, and Mythic for Super-Heroic levels
  • Golden Age superpowers
  • Higher damage scale
  • Some checks use random target numbers, while Credit Rolls can be used to randomly select one character to come up with a great idea, find a clue, or piece together a puzzle
  • New combat options
  • Character development has been greatly streamlined
  • New character templates for alternate settings


Requires two or more 10-sided dice and a standard deck of playing cards. 

PDF background layer can be turned off for faster and cheaper home printing.

Note: this includes the same content as the softcover version, although slightly different image borders are used.

BRETT'S EDITORIAL
Gadgets, magic, mystic stuff, and even superpowers... this game covers it all. Basic and advanced combat for less or more detail. If you like MasterBook's MasterDeck cards for enhancing play, this uses regular playing cards in a similar way. And thanks to the provided templates, creating a hero is just as easy as creating a villain, with monsters and animals being even easier.  Matt Stevens and I put a lot of work into making this a very pulpy game.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
