Melee of Champions - Part II

Despite not having an event to run my Melee of Champions games at for a few months yet, I'm still picking up figures when I see them going cheap.

Luigi and Mario Amiibos I picked up because I'm working on a little "Introductory Scenario" in which the brothers Mario take on Bowser.

Lara Croft figure and Samus Amiibo add some female power to the proceedings. I would have preferred a 'chunkier' Samus, this version makes her seem emaciated under that armour.

Obi Wan and Anakin Disney Infinity figures. I know a few people are trying out Super Mission Force for Star Wars Games, but the lack of antagonists in the range may limit this idea.

Han Solo, Davy Jones and Poe, all Disney Infinity. Han and Poe work better in Super Mission Force, with some basic Wildcard stats, but, again, a lack of cheaply available Stormtroopers means they may get moved on. 

See Wakanda and Die!

The NWA "Pirates in September" mega-game this year was "Plunder the Spanish Main" and, once again, I ran the native island adventure, which I typically turn into Wakanda. As one may expect, life became pretty deadly for any pirates brave enough to try and steal some of the treasures that could be found on the shoreline. Aside from some miscommunication with other organisers that led to a couple of disappointed players earlier in the day, everyone seemed to have fun and I had barely any downtime throughout. Enjoy the pictures and hope to see you in September 2018!
