I acted as GM and took photos (badly) ..

Jimmy the Gent, sandwiched between Jonny "Two Times" (named because he always shoots ..) and Home-Run head for the Plot Points whilst keeping in cover

[sound of Thompson Machine-Guns cocking ...]

More to follow dear readers ... Is Machine-Gun Ed shooting blanks? Is Lucky Louis well named? Will Knuckles actually throw a punch? All will be revealed.

Good call on altering the name of the ability to Martial Artist. In general, each Pulp Alley ability is intended to cover LOTS of ground. So players should always feel free to make a name that fits their own story/background.

There was even a time when we toyed with the idea of not giving titles to any of the abilities.  lol lol

A couple of the guys and I each bought a pack of Copplestone figures: Sleuths, Honest Citizens and Beat Cops.

So, with a bit of horse trading i now have the figures i was looking for; Sam Spade, Continental Detective, the District Attorney [citizen with briefcase] and two random cops

Those, with my two Swell Dames, should complete my 20/30s Gangster Leagues.

I now have my eye on some of North Star IHMN (soon to be released) Anarchists  ;)

Everytime I start to think of one league, it leads to another and another. If I built all my league ideas, I'd have to get another garage to store all the models in.

I've been thinking of finding someone to split packs with. I usually love one or two but don't have a use for all of them.
