The Game Castle is hosting a 26 Soulstone, beginner friendly tournament on Jan 4th at 2 PM. Entry is $5. In order to keep things simple and quick, only Wave 1 models are legal, and the event will use fixed crews. This will be a 2 round event, unless we get 8+ players. Round 1: Turf War Breakthrough Bodyguard Make Them Suffer Plant Explosives Round 2: Squatter's Rights Assassinate Protect Territory Plant Explosives Deliver a Message (Potential) Round 3: Stake a Claim Bodyguard Protect Territory Murder Protege Spring the Trap

By my reading, no. Embalmed causes the model to not suffer damage, which would prevent Welcoming Pain from activating.

Two events, only one is a story encounter. Looks like the Saturday event was mislabeled.

Event descriptions submitted and approved. Events are available for registration.

Nope, that is accurate., I'm trying to coerce the wife into writing them.

I'm glad everyone had fun. I am planning to make Templecon events 45 ss. Hopefully that will allow enough time in each round to finish.

I don't believe so, and I think that that is the defining trait. I believe all attack actions are opposed, and all tactical actions are not. I could easily have missed something, though. I think Ophelia breaks the rule off the top of my head. Edit: Guess I should have finished reading Mako's post...

This. I think that the FAQ ruling goes against Lures wording, but it is clear how the ability is played.

Edited in a bit of tournament info (waiting for Templcon to confirm the events are scheduled before I fill in too much. Also, I am putting the call out for any terrain I can get again this year. The con doesn't provide anything, and I can only manage about 2 tables myself. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I didn't register the events as age-restricted.

Friday: Story Encounter 6 PM - 9 PM 2 rounds 45 Soulstones Fixed Master Saturday: Tournament Noon - 6 PM 3 Rounds 45 Soulstones Fixed Faction Round 1: Reconnoiter A Line in the Sand Breakthrough Protect Territory Murder Protege Plant Evidence Round 2: Reckoning A Line in the Sand Bodyguard Protect Territory Vendetta Spring the Trap Round 3: Squatter's Rights A Line in the Sand Assassinate Breakthrough Make Them Suffer Power Ritual Final Wave 2 beta models are allowed for both events.

Edit about proxies.

I don't see anything in the book that says you do this anymore. I don't think models can melee vertically much anymore.

Harvest season is upon us again and that means it's Malifaux time at the Game Castle in Londonderry, NH. Soul Harvest this year will be an M2e event. At this time, I am not planning to allow the wave 2 beta models out of concern for confusion about rapidly changing rules. Proxies will be allowed for wave 1 models which have not yet be released. Registration starts at 11, round 1 begins at 12. Format will be: 50ss Fixed Faction 3 rounds, 105 mins each Strategies: Squatter's Rights Reckoning Turf War The TO (ie, me) will flip a scheme pool at the beginning of each round for all players to draw from. These schemes will not be chosen in advance. $5 entry to be paid to the store and awarded back out as store credit prizes. We will have awards for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, painting, and sportsmanship. RSVPing in this thread will help me plan for an appropriate number of players. We had 14 last year, can we top that?

I do not believe that you can, but I couldn't quote a rule to you.

What about Squeal? I don't have book/cards on me, but I think Squeal is after damaging as well.

Back in the podcast interviews they stated that the only two models not moving to M2e were minion Misaki and minion Hamelin. I'm not sure the statement is 100% conclusive regarding the Lone Marshal, but I have been assuming it means the Pale (and other) riders are also getting rules. And you know what that means...Guild cavalry lists.

It's a mechanical reason. The upgrade would be worthless against about half the models in the game if it only worked on living targets.

Swarm comes in on full wounds, nothing carries over.

Spell is not a game term, it is shorthand for "cast action." IE, the things incorporeal can't protect you from.

Fair enough, that did get cut. I never really worked it into my playstyle, so I didn't even really notice. yeah, I can see that being annoying.

Can't doesn't trump can anymore, unfortunately. I think it's true that Take Your Meds needs to have an "if able" tacked on.

A very interesting read. I never played Raw Deal, but I played UFS (ultimate fighting system), which had virtually identical issues with hand size. I suspect that Tara and her crew are complex enough that it will take a little while (and the wave 2 release) for them to come into their own. That being said, I think you're dead on about lack of cards being one of their main weaknesses.

"Spell" is no longer a game term. Make a New Entry copies a cast action, which Take your Meds is. I'm sure spell will continue to be used as shorthand for "cast action," but it is no longer distinct form other actions.

That would pretty much completely violate Collodi's back-story from his own entry in book 2. I suspect he was just in disguise.
