Last Chance Campaign Report

Chapter 1: Welcome to Last Chance

"Look at all the fancy folk in front of the town hall Sheriff! Are you sure the we are safe with all them here?" "Normally I'd have shot them all on sight Mayor but the order was clear, everyone is welcome in Last Chance. Humans, gremlins....things. The Governor-General was clear he wants Last Chance to show Malifaux everyone can play nice together"

ayor Cheddington scratched his chin and mused on. The Governor-General had appointment him directly and knew of his particular....skills. In fact that was probably why he hired him. Of course Mattheson had disproved but then he always did and at some point he would need to deal with his spies that were surely out there. Still, it was a powder keg waiting to happen out there....

"And what if they don't all play nice Sheriff?" He asked. The sheriff tipped his hat and winked "Then it's a bullet or a noose for them. If they are unlucky then first it will be one...then the other"

The Mayor couldn't help but chuckle. "I best go and address them...tell them how the town works and all that"

First campaign on this rock -fell from an initial 16 entries to 13, disappointing but still good as 80% of the players are brand new - Shifting Loyalties.

Chapter 2 – Mayor! Pete got shot by some trigger happy lowlifes...oh and we found this weird crystal, look....

 

“I don’t get it Sheriff...how can we have been here only 5 minutes and these crystals suddenly appear everywhere??  Already it’s made a bunch of them start trouble.  Just “map it out” I said...oh well, someone had to use Doc since he came out here I guess.  Is this what happened the last time?” muttered the still freshly sworn in Mayor of Last Chance.

“Well, everybody was either murdered by a crazy person or became a crazy person last time so we don’t rightly know.  Hard to think it’s a coincidence though which when...” replied the Sheriff before he saw the Mayors face and stopped abruptly.

The Mayor didn’t speak.  He didn’t feel like speaking.  He felt like ripping someone’s arms off and using them to beat him to death. He had been interrupted yesterday by someone bringing him one of the strange crystals and he had tried to use one of powers to make them rapidly go away but found he couldn’t.  It was like a cold bucket of water had been thrown on his soul.  It was needlessly perplexing so he ordered them to be banned from the town.  Sure he could see a use for them in the Guild prisons but right now he needed to get himself established here first.  That said Mattheson and the Governor General would know about these “null crystals” (he was proud of the name he had given them) soon enough so he needed to act fast to find out some more about them.

He pulled himself to his feet and finally addressed the Sheriff again.  “Round up the crews Sheriff, we need to know more about these crystals but I’ll be damned if I’m going looking for them myself”

Bonus Event:

A dead zone is a Ht 0 3” by 3” severe terrain piece.  Each player takes turns (starting with the away player) placing one Dead Zone anywhere in a table quarter and at least 3” from another Dead Zone until each quarter has one.  Whilst in base contact with a Dead Zone models may not take Ca actions and are immune to Ca actions.

When a players model which at least in base contact with a Dead Zone kills or sacrifices an opposing model, that player gains 2 Scrip

 

 

Mike 3 v 2 Kev
Chris 3 - 3 Key
Rob 2 - 1 Tom
Andy 6 - 5 Aaron

What was reaaaaaaaaaaaaally interesting to see at the end of game 2 on the Barter Flip...... Two Red Jokers.... Weeks 3-6 should be interesting!

Biggest struggle I had on the night was players who simply hadn't put the practice in (despite me banging the drum repeatedly in the months leading up to it!!)

I'll try to grab updated Arsenal Sheets end of Week 4
