Terror on Skull Island - The Trailer - A Pulp Action Game


Welcome to Skull Island located in the most remote part of the Pacific Ocean...

...an island of dangerous flora...

...and even more dangerous fauna...

...swamps and quicksand...

...home of Evil Cults...

... and fearsome native warriors...

...and most importantly a land overflowing with great treasures!

Into this land only the bravest and some would say the foolhardiest would dare! In 1935 at the height of the exploration season three Expeditions and the Crew of the SS Titan ventured deep into Skull Island's impenetrable jungle to unlock its secrets and hopefully sneak a view of the most fearsome creature on the face of the Earth, the Mighty Kong!

Okay we're ready to play! Below are the characters who will risk all and go forth into Skull Island's hinterland.

Expedition Great Britain. Dotty Ol' Chaps!

Expedition USA. Cool Jazz Age Chicks!

The SS Titan's Crew. A Rowdy Bunch!

The Evil Nazi Expedition. Yep Everyone Hates These Guys!

Full Scenario and Character details will follow soon!

Oh and you may have noticed the picture of Skull Island is dotted with silver markers, there are 54 to be exact. During play on inspection of each marker by a character a playing card from a full deck, including the Jokers will be drawn which will be checked on a list to see what if anything may occur or be discovered! The events that the cards refer to will get progressively nastier the deeper into the jungle our intrepid adventurers advance ( this will be controlled by staggering deck, Hearts will be available first, then Diamonds, then Clubs and lastly Spades and Jokers)! To ensure total randomness of what will occur only half of the cards are actually linked to 'events'.

  2. Sounds like fun times a head, for the readers that is not the characters, as most of them will most likely get eaten or something worse :)

    What rule system will you be using btw ?

    1. I hope so, I’ve put a bit of thought into the ‘event’ generation which will be heart of the game, unfortunately hard to play test scenarios like this.
