Saturday, September 24th Start Time: 12:00 PM Entry: $10 Location: Phoenix Games http://www.myphoenixgames.com/ Phoenix Games April 16th Tournament Format Number of Rounds There will be a minimum of 3 rounds. Deployment Type Standard Deployment will be used for all rounds. Round Time Limit 85 minute rounds with a 15 minutes setup time. Crew Construction 35 Soul Stone and Single Faction (Players will pick a faction at the start of the Tournament) Models Proxies (substitute models) are not allowed under any circumstances, nor can a player enter a tournament with a model that has not been released to the general public. Models do not need to be painted but they do need to be fully assembled on the base of the appropriate size. How To Track Scores: At the end of each Encounter, players tally up the VP that they earned that round. The player that earned more VP than his or her opponent wins the game and the opponent loses the game. In case of the same VP count, the game is a Draw. Victory Points [VP]: This is the amount of points each player earned. Ex. Drew and Zee played a game, and Drew scored 6 VP while Zee scored 4 VP. Tournament Points [TP]: A Win awards 3 TP to the winner, a Draw awards 1 TP to each player, and a Loss awards 0 TP to the defeated player. Ex. Drew and Zee played a game, and Drew scored 6 VP while Zee scored 4 VP. Drew receives 3 TP, while Zee receives 0 TP Victory Point Differential [VPD]: Note the difference between the players VP at the end of the Encounter. The player with the higher score scores VPD equal to the positive amount of that difference, while the player that had the lower score receives VPD equal to the negative amount of that difference. Using the example above, Drew would have +2 VPD, while Zee would have -2 VPD. Combining the above statistics, at the end of round one, Drew has a score of 3TP/+2VPD/6VP, while Zee has a score of 0TP/-2VPD/4VP. Pairings The first round pairings are random, as described earlier in the packet. After the first round, the TO pairs up players based on their TP scores. Players will always play other players with similar TP scores. After round one, all the winners should be paired off against one another, while the draws and losing players pair off against one another. This continues for the established number of rounds Determining Tournament Winner At the end of the tournament, rank all of the players in descending order from highest TP to lowest TP. The player with the highest TP is the winner! In case of any ties in the TP, the VPD becomes the first tie-breaker. The player with the higher VPD wins the tie. If this is also tied, VP is the final tie-breaker, wherein the player with the higher VP wins the tie.

Guys, not sure if this was already posted but Tabletop Gaming News has done a "Getting Started" article on Malifaux. http://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/2011/06/24/47928/

Love all the minis and it firms up my belief that Wyrd needs to do plush toys of some of these

Wyrd needs to get Bioware to create a Malifaux game.

So for those of you under a rock the Dragon Age 2 demo was released this week (or that is when I noticed it) and I have to say WOW! The only problem is that I forgot to transfer my games from my old computer and now I have to start all over to finish the first Dragon Age. Has anybody else tried the demo?

Strangely enough out of all the people I have talked to about this game it has only come up once where someone asked me where the breach was located earth side. For a while I thought it was somewhere in England (not sure why) but after the fluff in the latest book I am guessing somewhere in the eastern US.

Amazing! What did you make the base out of and do you have any in progress pictures?

Sub out one or two of the death marshals for witching staplers has helped me in the past soak up some magic firepower. Just watch out for when they pop.

You guys have been talking about movies that you watch while playing or painting Malifaux. I was unfortunately watching the Grammy's (spelling?) last night (one of the many dangers of being married) (really I was rereading Rising Power) when I heard Mumford and Sons, Avett Brothers and Bob Dylan playing. And all that was running through my head was that I could picture this on stage at the The Star. http://ontheflix.com/2011/02/14/bob-dylan-performed-maggies-farm-at-2011-grammy-awards/
