I, personally, see nothing at all wrong with the 'jumping dangers' routine.

After reading the many complaints on this very subject, I began to question my own definition of 'Pulp Adventures'. I am glad to hear that there are others who share the same opinion.

I like this game a lot, but I do kind of feel that some bit of 'oompf' is missing. I am not even sure what that oompf is, but everything about this game is epic; components, presentation, and price tag. The problem is that the game doesn't necessarily feel epic.

The dangers mechanic, though, is great. There aren't too many games where I can be left at a cliffhanger about to do battle with a Giant Squid, only to see a mafia hitman swim by and bump me off with a spear gun.
