What is Pulp? Stories of exploration: adventurers penetrating the darkest, unexplored regions of the Earth. Stories of heroism: the bold and brave foiling the nefarious plots of dastardly villains.

I ran a game of Chapter 5 "They want our women!" with my group, it was a blast! This is a great little AFMBE sourcebook and ideas book, I like using AFMBE for more than Zombie attacks and this allows me to do allot more than that, I ran a Mars Attacks scenario and it was a hoot. Get this book....
