ON MIGHTY THEWS presents...

Your guide to the world of pulp fantasy.

Brimming with sorcery and savagery, the Pulpy Primer is your ticket to the sword-and-sorcery role playing game you’ve always wanted. Lots of people love the flavour and style of the pulp fantasy created by authors like Robert E. Howard, Tanith Lee, Michael Moorcock, Fritz Lieber, and many others. But incorporating this style into your game can be hard, especially if not everyone in the group is familiar with the source material, or if you find it hard to come up with great pulpy details off the cuff. Now, your troubles are over!

The Pulpy Primer gives you everything you need to turn your old, generic fantasy game into a bloody, fantastical, sweaty tale full of exotic thrills and bizarre adventure. The tables within will be your guide. In the left column, tired, stale, cliched fantasy tropes that you’ve seen a thousand times. On the right, multiple options for turning those played-out stereotypes into an exciting, original thrill!
