Links: Pulp Wargaming

Some links of interest to pulp wargamers. An ongoing project; I’ll bump it back to the top of the posts when it gets updated and expanded!

Rattrap Productions — creators of the .45 Adventure (45A) rules we play a lot of. 2nd Ed 45A was released early in 2011.
The Virtual Armchair General — publishers of Astounding Tales! 2nd Edition, and three supplements so far, Astounding Adventures! #1, #2 & #3.
Pinnacle Entertainment Group — publishers of Savage Worlds, a light roleplaying ruleset with a miniatures focus that’s geared toward pulpy, fast games in a variety of settings, including classic 20s/30s pulp action.
Two Hour Wargames publish the pulp adventure Larger Than Life, and also the dinosaur-huntin’ Adventures in the Lost Lands.

Lead Adventure Forums (LAF) — one of the best forums out there, with a focus on adventure games of all genres. Full of crazy, inspirational games and projects!
Rattrap’s Speakeasy Forum is the best place to take 45A questions and see the latest from them. Quiet, but not by any means abandoned.

Pulp Figures — Bob Murch’s fantastic 28mm figures.
Copplestone Castings — Several 28mm ranges of interest to pulp gamers, including a large 1920s China/Back of Beyond Asia line.
Artizan Designs — 28mm Thrilling Tales range, with very nice figures indeed.
Brigade Games — a huge and rambling webstore with their own pulp ranges, as well as being North American resellers of Artizan and dealers for Company B, Sloppy Jalopy and others
Company B — very nice 28mm vehicles for the interwar period, including Model A Fords, Rolls Royce Armoured Cars, and others. The website is a bit broken, though.
Rif Raf Miniatures make a 28mm range for the 1920s Rif War in North Africa; a number of the figures would also work for the Spanish Civil War.
Askari Miniatures make a whole bunch of interesting 28mm figures, including 1920s French Foreign Legion, safari hunters and assistants, mules and more.
Great War Miniatures have a WW1 range with lots to interest pulp gamers; the company that produces GWM, Northstar Figures, also produces Artizan and are distributors for a lot of other stuff.
Woodbine Design, produced by Gripping Beast, do both a nice WW1 range and a great character range as “TWDC Specials” that include Chaps on the Hunt, Damn Poachers, and an increasing number of packs of Very British Civil War-inspired lunacy.
