  3. Gamers Haven 5730 N. Academy Blvd Colorado Springs, CO 80918 Malifaux "Malifood" charity event! December 10th at 10:00am! Have some fun with your favorite game and help those in need in our community! All food will go to Care and Share Colorado Springs! Entry fee is 10 cans of food. Recommended donations are: · canned fruit · canned vegetables · canned meat or tuna · soup · peanut butter · oatmeal This event is for fun, and to help those in need, so pick good stuff and take it easy on the Ramen please. : ) 50ss Tournament Three rounds, with awards for 1st place, Most donations, Best Painted, and for Fellowship players. Strategy and Scheme pools to be announced December 1st You may build different lists for each round based upon the strategies and scheme pools for each round, but you must stay within your faction, and each list must be built before the start of the event. You may bring up to five lists to use for the event, and choose which you use at the beginning of each round after declaring factions with your opponents. Cheats! Food Donations in excess of the entry fee will be transferred on a 1:1 basis for Chips that can be used to purchase various "cheats". The following cheats will be available: -Barter flips - Every player will be allowed two barter flips on the Campaign table (Pg 16-17, Shifting Loyalties) - 6 Chips may be spent for a cheat hand of two cards for your barter flips. - 10 chips may be spent after the initial flips for one additional flip. - 2 chips per flip may be spent to alter the flipped value by +/- one. - Chips may be used as "Scrip" to cover the campaign cost of the Skills/Equipment you wish to purchase. Soulstone costs for these skills/equipment will still need to be covered by your build, and you cannot exceed 50ss as a result of these purchases. You may make adjustments and allowances for this cost during barter flip time. Consider allowing yourself a few soulstones to play with to allow for your gains. - "Those who Thirst" Will not be available through barter flips. Instead, Players that flip the red Joker for Barter flip may treat it as a wild card. Players that wish to have a "TWT" item may forego one barter flip and instead bid against others that are after them. This will be handled through a series of "Blind Bids" Where each bidder will bid a secret number of chips. The one that bids the most will receive the item. No player may acquire more than one TWT item. If you lose the bid, you keep the chips you bid and may bid on the next item. -Scheming Two chips per round may be used to add a scheme of your choice to the scheme pool for the round. -Soulstones Two chips per soulstone may be used at the start of each round to add soulstones to your pool, to a maximum of 8 soulstones as normal. This total may exceed the 50ss limit, to a maximum of 53ss. -Reflip Deployment Two chips per Round may be used to call for a reflip of your deployment flip. Each player may use this a cheat once per round and must both declare their intent to use it after the first flip, but before any reflips are made. "White Cerberus" (Optional) Additionally, we will host a Malifaux "White Elephant" Gift exchange after the tournament. If you would like to participate, bring one new, unopened Malifaux item of recommended value $10-$20 that is wrapped/bagged/obscured. All participants will get a chance to pick and open an item and can then choose to trade for other opened items. We will be sneaking something special into one of the packages.

  5. I swear I saw a discussion on this somewhere, but don't see it anymore. Seems to be a lot of division on this one and we would be grateful for some help and understanding: If a model begins it's activation outside of engagement and uses a single move action to pass through and out the other side of an enemy model's engagement range, would the enemy get a disengaging strike?
  6. Scheme pools: Round one: Convict Labor, Show of Force, Exhaust their forces, Undercover Entourage, A Quick Murder Round two: Convict Labor, Show of Force, Leave your Mark, Covert Breakthrough, Search the ruins Round three: Convict Labor, Hunting Party, Exhaust their forces, Public Demonstration, Catch and release Edited to correct round 3
