Morf (who i still believe is running Pulp CIty) is one of the nicest guys you will meet. Every year we would see him at gencon and he would literally spend hours talking to us about the game, his ideas and even life in general such a great guy.

Even though I have most of the supremes I am going to pledge for the new stuff coming out. I can't wait to see what else is in store!

Who are the Pulp City analogues, if there are any, for:

Iron Man (Iron Train?) upcoming in the Supreme Alliance, but I think C.O.R.E. is close for now
Spider-Man Anansi from the new Villain pack has webs and a "spider sense"
Green Goblin err, Dr. Red throws grenades?
Mysterio Trail in a lot of ways
Dr. Doom Mysterious Man, behind the scenes kind of guy
Superman Supreme Zed
Thor (Perun?)
Batman tough one, not sure that's happening yet, but how do you copy that guy?

There aren't too many direct matches, what with copyrights and such. But, here's a few:

Supreme Zed=Superman
Wonder Wight=Wonder Woman
Perun=Thor (appearantly Perun is the highest Slavic god, more closely Zeus than Thor)
Skyline=Daredevil
Wildman=Wolverine (Logan IS a scottish name)
Amok=Hulk
Feartigo=Scarecrow
Arquero=Hawkeye/Green Arrow

The Grims also have LOTS of homages (Toxic Avenger, Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee, Magneto, 300 SPartans)

And (soon, hopefully) there's the plan to remake the entire original Avengers as the Supreme Alliance:

Oh wow...

I'll be in for that set, no doubt about it!

What Stretch Goal number is for the "Supreme Alliance"?

No idea yet. They're going through concepts for the Forgotten, ancient evils like minor gods and spirits, and that should take 30k or so. After that MIGHT be the Alliance. They've been pretty quite about it. But that pic is from their fcebook

I suppose I could pledge now, hope that the Alliance makes it in... and go from there...?

Yep. What's the worst, they don't make it and you pull the pledge? Deals too good to pass.

And the game has become my favorite in the last year. Action points, alternating play, super heroes and thousands of combos.

They've been working on the SA for a quite a bit now.

From the early progress, it is really cool to see how they've been fleshing out the concepts.

Work Blocked!

Can someone post the pics from the link the Grotster posted?

it's not a pics link, just the pulp city forum page

Huh?

What was the point of that link then?

Anyone have any more info on the not-Avengers "Supreme Alliance" then?

Now that would be greatly appreciated!

The pics are in the forum. They've been working on this team for a few months now.

First guy is a giant radioactive armadillo named A Beast. ( big brawler type.)

Second Capt America type guy is Spybreaker. ( scrapper type/ shield type)

Third guy is a Fire/ Water/ Chemical guy named Coldfire.( area effects weapons)

fourth guy is a Armor set, named Battlesuit 7. ( Armored suit. Big guns Jetpack.)

Fifth member is a aquatic female, named Aquanaut ( looks like another scrapper with a trident, or maybe some kind of a dangerous hips thing going there. One things for sure, shes a knockout. )

Sixth member is another Stars and Stripes type, is in an ongoing name her contest going on. Back in the day, She'd probibly be something like Lady Liberty, or Liberty Belle, or something. Me? I think i'd just call her, "Hey, you! Girl with the good looking... guns! and the nice T!@#s"
Some might even want her to be called Martha Washington, her pornstar name.

I added the forum link, because there is a lot of ongoing information hidden in there amongst the chaff. They've been working on them for a few months to a year now.

Going to be a pretty bad assed team, as well.

Now you have the Chance to get the Exclusive Herald model. I really love this Kickstarter. The creators are so helpful and listen to the backers wishes. That is the way it should be.

Michael

I'm still hoping for more info on the "Supreme Alliance".

Once previewed/released/unlocked, I'd think he'd see a lot of people adding in an additional $35...

Bad news!

(Maciej) @Alpharius: We believe Supreme Alliance is worthy of their own KS, so they are unlikely to show up here unless we get to 200K or so

Not really bad news. It means they are coming to the game in future. Till then we enjoy the fun of A.R.C., Necroplane and other awesome factions.

Michael

A separate Kickstarter for them might be a bit much though!

If I understood it correctly, they will perhaps do an add-on book for customizing your one Supremes and minnions. The Alliance could be a Stretch Goal for this Kickstarter and not a separate one.

Michael

Oh, I'm sure that the entire point of the next PC KS wouldn't be the "Supreme Alliance", I'm just disappointed that they won't be out for a loooooong time now.

I'm with you.
But that allows me to save some money for the next Kickstarter and then go really Big.

Michael

Sure looks as if this campaign could use the "Supreme Alliance" boost!




It certainly is quite successful at this point though, and maybe this is the plateau for Superhero Miniature Wargaming Campaigns out of Poland?

Not every campaign needs to hit millions, $80k is pretty fantastic.

The campaign went well so far. The book is founded and we get some nice new models. Everything on top is a bonus. This game deserves some love and the Community is really nice. So everyone should use the possibility to start with the Kickstarter. If you miss it, it's your fault.

You don't say?

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this one, and I'm even quite confident that they'll hit their promised ship dates too - more or less!

What's that? More free models? OK!

Let's start with the cross-promotion. From one of the longest running webcomics (http://www.sluggy.com/) ever, we get Bun-Bun (Grimm version):


Still looking for the free techno-monkey at $85K:


And the free not-Venom Grimm with 500 backers:

500 backers isn't going to happen - sadly!

LOL!

What are you doing in that silly skin suit? That Grimm looks like Frank the Rabbit.

really looking good to see a few more grims, any more word on the extra souls for 100 voices? His pack needs some extras.

I can think of a few of the figures from Wierd that would fit right in there. Chompy, the ghosts, a few of those little snackers from pandora, maybe even baby Kade himself... nothing wrong with giving the necroplane a little back up.

Best thing about this game is the total versitility that you have with the figures you can use.

I'm fairly optimistic and think its highly possible.

Check Kicktraq for similar-sized companies and their KS successes, particularly with last three days. Red Box Games, Wrath of Kings, High Heavens, Imbrian Arts, etc, all have good money and new pledges at the end of the campaign.

Let's pull for Pulp City to do the same.

Most of those campaigns weren't bleeding backer or funds heading into the final five days though.

But as previously noted, 100K (give or take) might the ceiling for this one - and that's OK too.

I did bump my pledge by $50 today though!

I'd up my pledge if that Supreme Alliance does end up having a chance of getting produced sooner rather than later.

It doesn't, sadly!

I've already been beat down a few times in the comments section for suggesting it!

To be fair, they said they would not be part of this KS. That does not mean they won't be made "soon". Though, like you, I would have loved to see them made and hit the table.
