Malifaux Musings Nythera Vassal Campaign League

Recommended Posts

Phiasco and I are looking to organize a campaign league for a small number of players to run the length of the Nythera event (starting in week 3 at the earliest, obviously, since we're already under way.) I'm hoping to get 6 people who are willing to commit to one game a week against a predetermined opponent with a strategy and scheme pool defined (IE everybody is playing the same game, with the weekly event in place, so everything should be roughly level.) To counter the somewhat reduced growth people would see from limiting the number of games to one a week, the factions will put in place "Emergency Resource Allocation," a home rule wherein factions will receive 1 scrip per vp they acquire in game (as opposed to 1 per 2 vp) and all crews start the campaign with a bounty of their choice pre-purchased. 

Rules are still being written and finalized at the moment, but I wanted to take people's temperature on them and start gathering interest. Players will be responsible for scheduling their game with each other each week, and I'm still determining what exactly will be the consequence if people can't get their game lined up. We're North American Eastern Time Zone players, so unless you want to be up until the odd hours, probably best to stay within the North American time zones. Skype will probably be required for communication during the game. Obviously you need Vassal. It's meant to be a fairly light-hearted league/campaign (IE not super-competitive) so if you can't get your game in during a specific week it will probably just count as a double forfeit with no penalty/benefit for either player. Repeatedly missing will result in removal from the league and replacement with another player. I'm open to discussion on this point, however.

Ideally, I'd like to have everybody using a different faction, so I'll keep this up to date with players and their faction as they sign-up.

Edit: I've added a second ten thunders crew. Essentially, if they play in-faction their games won't count for the Nythera Event. 

1. AWOL - Guild 

2. Phiasco - Ten Thunders

3. Asrian - Outcasts

4. Tawg - Ten Thunders

5. Doctorwhat - Ressurectionists

6. onelittlethunder - Ten Thunders (again)

7. Bromerican Man - Neverborn

8. iamthefly - Ressurectionists

Hit me up with sign-ups if you're interested, or rules suggestions.

I'd be interested in this potentially.  I have Sat/Sunday/monday nights free, and all day Friday.  Although I am also committed to Ten Thunders, which may be an issue if you want the games to all count towards the Nythera campaign/really want different factions.  But if that doesn't matter, then playing for the sake of playing a campaign I would be totally in.  I should have the Shifting Loyalties book by the end of this week (Hopefully, on order at FLGS), so I should be set with all the rules handy.

I'm mostly just looking to get the thing set up and do a small-scale test drive of the narrative campaign system over vassal, and hooked it up to the Nythera campaign. I'll go ahead and add you for now. 

Cool, picking up my Shifting Loyalties book tomorrow @FLGS :wub:

Glad it won't be too much of a problem, I also would love to take the campaign system for a spin, especially since I really want to start a weekly group at my FLGS, so it would be great to have experience prior!

Not something that needs to be observed, but if the other two 10T want to communicate which Henchmen they plan to use as leader, even if just between us, I'd like to see us at least not have the same Henchmen that are leaders.  It could make things a bit stale (If we're all playing the same force essentially), and less fluffy.  And if they are willing to, agreeing not to include the others' leader henchmen in their crew would be nice, though I understand that may be a bit restrictive and isn't part of the rules.  Just for flavor.

Hi Guys,

There is a UK campaign running at the same time as this one, I think in the long run it will mess you folks around less if I bow out of this campaign now rather than try to arrange games across the pond/ timezones. Sorry guys, best of luck.

 

And I was looking forward to playing you again. Best of luck to you.

Granted this campaign is using the rules for Tournament style points, I hear that most campaigns are not hard to jump into mid-campaign.  The system limits fights to the lower player (So people would be on equal footing) and there are in-built systems to gain bonuses for those who may be starting behind (Bonus Scrip for Campaign rating and such).
