OldManMyke Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I've been working with Dan from TTN this week to get the 2016 series dates and format locked in nice and early.One of the things I was thinking about doing was making them into a story driven series of events but Dan is concerned that those won't draw any folks, which of course makes it pointless putting them on.So the question is, would you come if we did something other than yet another standard type of event or would you rather spend your passes on straight up GG2015 style gaming?All comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondoe297 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 My fear is although fun, story encounters rarely get the numbers of attendees as a standard tournie. Tbh I don't know why this is, I assume it's the old lure of rankings perhaps? (I know that would have been true for me end or last beginning or this year, however not so much now)Myself, I would love to support this, but with limited passes next year and reliance on others who drive (really need to sort that out) will prob hampen my attendance!So in short, I would like to see story encounters but I genuinely can't see it getting the numbers (such a naysayer I know)As always a big thumbs up for putting your own time into developing the hobby Mike!

ProximoCoal Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I would love to come, but it depends on where I am living next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clousseau Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I think that keeping the quarterly showdown as GG format tournies is a good idea. Add in my Lost Love (Feb 7th) and Gunsmith tournies as fixed Master and that leaves room for at least a couple of story encounters, or even something different like henchman hardcore. I'm happy to run a third event at Wayland if that helps, story encounters are fun. Edited November 10, 2015 by Clousseau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogan Style Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'd rather spend my passes on GG format tournaments.Story encounters are great, but to play casually with my friends. With 'Tournaments' I am not looking for new, interesting ways to play the game of Malifaux, I am looking to play players from different scenes/metas and see other ways people play the game of Malifaux. The game of Malifaux at a tournament needs to be standardised so that all players have an equal opportunity to play, have fun, and maybe squeak a win or two.

Vorbeck Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Although I have only been to one event I will be attending another and I would love to go to a story driven event. If I can make the dates I will definitely be there. Not sure what rankings are but not really important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingster Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Well I'll be there for all of them, someone's got to carry the tea... On the GG vs Story Encounters point, I'd make time to go to a tournament style event whereas I'd only go to a story event if I happened to be free on the day.

theshepherd Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I like the idea of story events but I think the showdown series works well as they are.Maybe a story threaded between the different showdowns to tie them together without making it the main draw? (no suggestion on how that would work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Luck Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 TTN is just too far away for me either way really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManMyke Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Fair enough Dom, with so many events these days folks will pick and choose with location being a prime motivator - lot less York events for me next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
