Lord Blackwood's Expedition - Pulp Alley League

I've been wanting to try out Pulp Alley for months...years, even, but other shiny new toys always seem to have distracted me. Well, that's about to change! I recently picked up the Pulp Alley Solo Deck with a view to trying the game out while the kids are at school...hopefully sometime next week! 

I don't have many 1930s Pulp figures (something I shall have to remedy!) but I do have quite a few Victorian and Colonial ones...as well as a good selection of Lost World figures. So my Pulp Alley is going to be more H Rider Haggard than Indiana Jones. 

I put together my first League a few days ago and it was easy, straightforward and lots of fun! I love how the Perks and Abilities give a real feel for each character and the League as a whole. 

So, without further ado, may I present Lord Blackwood's Expedition...
