Bully Pulpit Games

The Curse of Antelope Woman is a set of characters and situations for Brennan Taylor’s game How We Came To Live Here, which is a favorite of mine. I wrote this as a convention one-shot, but use it however you like.
The Beggar’s Opera is an experimental game based on John Gay’s play. Six characters make choices about the life and trevails of the rascal macheath, and one narrator synthesizes their contributions into a coherent narrative.

Here’s a tiny roleplaying poem about police interrogation, The Hot Lamp. If you try this definitely let me know how it goes!

Death School is a Lady Blackbird hack that throws you head-first through the plate glass window of 1980′s action cinema. It is big, loud, and stupid and you will never be the same.

Mix rum and revolution in equal parts. Add a splash of espionage and shake well and you’ve got Havana 1953, the Playset of the Month for February!
Cuba, 1953. Havana has been called “the sexiest city in the world” and for good reason. The rhythm of the night is fueled by the rhumba beat, cocaine and the dazzling stars of Cuba. The Mob is starting to move in and light up the casinos, flush with easy money and easier dupes.
General Batista’s government rules with an iron fist behind the scenes. All the glamour of Miami only 90 miles away and with none of the rules. So why are there armed bands in the hills led by obscure guerrillas like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara?
This is another great historical playset written by Chris Bennett, and pairs nicely with Los Angeles 1936 and Dallas 1963.

It’s First Free Game February Friday, and that means Frost Devils!
Nome, Alaska, 1901. There’s a gold rush on at the very end of the Earth, attracting every manner of ne’er-do-well and fiend from deranged Kuskokwagmiut to Wyatt Earp. And you, of course.
Frost Devils is a reskinning of Matt Snyder’s excellent game Dust Devils. It can also serve as a really solid and historically meticulous resource guide to Nome at the turn of the last century for any game.
