Lazy duplicate write-ups continue… Moving to a new home, travel, planting a garden, and getting settled have taken my time! Argh!! 🏡🔧🪴✅🙄
Basic download on the bundle… before I wax poetic about non game related things… 😉
I have loved Alban Viard’s creations since the very first time I played Clinic. Tramways… and thew Engineer’s Workbook followed… and I was hooked! Of course, it does not hurt that Alban is another amazing human in the board game universe!!
Pulp Detective came along in the “AV Studio Games” line up and it too… was awesome! Small City Deluxe – another winner! All the Clinic Expansions… sweeeeeeet!
Ahem. Now where was I?
Ah yes…
Soooo… I had to carry the latest Pulp installment – Pulp Invasion!
And I had to have the whole set of Pulp Invasion games (Pulp Invasion, Pulp Invasion X1, Pulp Invasion X2, and Pulp Invasion X3)… and the cloth bag and the box set sleeve! I want it all, darn it! 😉 You all know the drill. ❤️
Bantering now commences about life and gardening and time…
(Scroll down to “Bundle Details” if you have no patience for my meandering prose 😆)
Hello all! OK… let’s see. First, let me admit that nothing has TAKEN my time (as I noted above)… hehe. I have chosen to apply my time to those things.. and well, I wanted to at least be honest about that. 😉 I am the pilot of my spaceship… or at least the co-pilot… haha. 🚀👽❓
Although, with that admission complete, I will also admit that it is very difficult to sit inside and generate game write ups when the weather is gorgeous and I want to be outside.
Sooooo… I guess I have chosen to make less time for write ups… which is painful to admit to myself… but I promise that eventually, I will get back to my side-splitting commentary and banter. HONEST! Until then, if you’re missing my poetic yarns… shoot me a text and we can chat directly for a minute. I’m always happy to hear from a fellow Upstart! ☺️❤️
Also, I should note that planting a garden is insanely fun! Sure, it was also a lot of work and sweat… and bug bites… haha. But it was SO worth it! Everything is starting to grow… and I am especially excited to see that the corn and sunflower seeds given to me by one of my favorite LITRPG authors, Terry W. Ervin II, have started to grow!
Random side note… I am a HUGE fan of LITRPG and I am always on the hunt for the latest and greatest in that genre. I played D&D as a teenager and well.. that adventurer storyline still appeals to me a great deal.
<seriously… if this is painful to read… scroll down to see the bundle deets!>
<ohhh… I should grow beets! Darn you A.D.D.>
Anyhoo… I stumbled across Terry’s “Monsters, Maces and Magic” series a year or two ago and I read every book in the series! SO GOOD!!!
He mentioned something about planting corn in his newsletter and I wrote back and the next thing you know he was sending me some seed samples. The first batch got lost on their way through the mail… so he sent a second batch… all at his cost! He is a wonderful human and I sincerely appreciated that he pressed on with a second batch to try and get them through!!
So for me, seeing those seeds bloom is especially gratifying! 🌱😃
Also, if you’re a fan of LITRPG… check out his series… I promise you.. it will not disappoint!
Here’s a link to his site –> TERRY’S WEBSITE IS HERE
The books are all available on Amazon and are part of Kindle Unlimited. I do not gain anything monetary – or otherwise – by you clicking that link. I am just super excited by LITRPG and I know it can be hard to find a new author in the genre… And well, I do like to try and help… ☺️
See… I still have some bantering in me! Hahaha… 🙄
OK… OK… moving along… 😉

Description
I have loved Alban Viard’s creations since the very first time I played Clinic.
Then there was Tramways. And then the Tramways Engineer’s Workbook followed (still my FAVORITE game to bring along on a flight or a train ride – SO GOOD for in-your-seat solo gaming)… and I was hooked!
Of course, it does not hurt that Alban is another amazing human in the board game universe!!
Then Alban worked with Todd Sanders… and Pulp Detective came along in the “AV Studio Games” line-up… and it too was awesome! Todd designs the game AND does all the fantastic Pulp Artwork for the game. AMAZING!
Soooo… I had to carry the latest Pulp installment – Pulp Invasion! Once again, designed and illustrated by the incredibly talented Todd Sanders!
And I had to have the whole set.. and the cloth bag and the box set sleeve! I want it all, darn it! 😉 You all know the drill. ❤️ (side note.. I still need to snag X4! ACH!)
Pulp Invasion:
As a Free Captain of the Rim you roam the far reaches of space as a trader and mercenary. Secretly though you are an agent of the Intergalactic Council sent on a clandestine mission to explore planets infiltrated by three alien races known as The Cosmic Hegemony who plan to invade the peaceful worlds of Intergalactic Alliance.
Find all their world shattering Super Weapons, using your Combat Skills, Diplomacy, and Super Science, and stop them before it is too late!
Solo game with a 2 player PvP option (this option is in the X1 expansion).
The game uses a bag builder mechanic to add and remove dice from a bag. Cards are played to explore various sectors of space and 5 custom dice are used for combat situations.
Game components: 78 cards, 5 custom dice and 76 wooden cubes.
Pulp Invasion X1:
expands the worlds of Pulp sci-fi space adventure novels with more adventurers to explore the new planets with and new alien allies to confront, plus expands the base game by adding a variant for 2 players.
Pulp Invasion X2:
Sending down landing teams aids in your search for the Super Weapons to prevent the Cosmic Hegemony from their nefarious plans. Beware though of 3 new Vassal aliens who have joined the Hegemony to rule the galaxy.
The Pulp Invasion X2 expansion adds new exploration cards, new captains, a new crew die, and a helpful landing team.
For this expansion there are 2 new Captain cards that use the new Landing Crew die, 3 new Alien Vassals that affect game play while in the various Hegemony sectors. 2 new Planets to explore and 2 additional Super Weapons with new actions.
Additionally there are 8 new exploration cards, which change game replay-ability since you only deal a subset during the game. Most have beneficial actions and allow for greater player strategy.
Pulp Invasion X3:
You thought after your last mission that you had finally successfully driven the cosmic hegemony out of the universe. Wrong! The three alien races known as The Red Hegemony are back and have already infiltrated several Intergalactic Alliance planets — but that’s not enough for them! They want domination, no matter what the cost…
As a secret agent of the Intergalactic Council, it’s your job to prevent this from happening. The fact that this sounds like a hopeless task doesn’t stop you from grabbing one of the new ships and assembling a strong crew to embark on a journey to the farthest reaches of the universe and crush the Red Hegemony once and for all!
In Pulp Invasion X3, you have new spaceships and a new bridge crew to help you eliminate the threat once and for all. Use your skills in combat, diplomacy, and super science to track down their world-shattering super weapons before it’s too late!
