From publisher blurb: This Powered by the Apocalypse role playing game is for everyone who's ever watched pulp adventure movies and thought, "I want to do that!" Whether you wished you could play the dashing hero clambering up dangerous bluffs; or the plucky kid who miraculously manages to escape from the villains; or the fortune teller who discovers deep and ancient secrets of the occult that No Man Should Know - you can do it all here. The idea behind Thrilling Adventures! is to re-create the atmosphere of those pulp adventure movies we all love; so the characters, the moves, and the setting are designed to create a sense of danger, excitement, and drama.
