This is the second year of the Capital City Meltdown!  Please see the event website and event info for instructions on how to reserve a spot for this fantastic tournament.

My pleasure.  Hope to see you out at the store!  We've got an awesome local crowd who is both fun to play as well as a real challenge skill-wise.  It'll be a great day of Malifaux intertwined with food and possibly going out afterwards as a group.

@Nathan Caroland do we know a rough release schedule on the fate decks?  I'm wondering if I should grab one now to put me above the $100 for Gencon or if I can wait and  support my FLGS.  Thanks!

May I inquire as to what size the Wyrd prize kit will be?  Thank you!

I've requisitioned a 16 person kit and it's being delivered to my house as we speak.  Okay, probably it's sitting in a sorting facility somewhere ready to be delivered tomorrow.  But you get the idea   Additional prizes will include store credit for sure as well as possibly some more Wyrd related prizes.

What:  A one-round tournament, 50 SS game

We're going to be getting together to have some fun at Play More Games in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  You may ask, what is a one-round tournament?  Well, the answer is it's a single game of Malifaux played where everyone has a good time and the standings don't really matter.  Prizes will include Wyrd Mystery Boxes and will be randomly handed out to winners and losers alike.  We call it a tournament but its really just a fun time.  Because of time and space constraints we are limited at this time to 8 players so please contact me here to claim on of those 8 spots!

I don't know how close to Gaithersburg, MD you two are but we have a great regular play group that meets Wednesdays at Play More Games if you're interested in making the drive up.  We usually schedule matches around 6-6:30 then go out to eat and drink afterwards (for those of legal age of course).  We also run MFX events and one is in the works for August so keep an eye out!

It's a new month and that means new demo day!  Come on out to Play More Games on Sunday, December 17th between 12:00 noon and 4:00 p.m. for some Malifaux demos!  As always, no need to bring anything or have any knowledge of the game, all can be provided.  New players are encouraged to bring any miniatures and cards they may have questions with.  See you there!

The price has been updated.  If you sign up before January 9th it will be $10 prepaid using the web link and $15 at the door so get your preregistrations in!

Prize support currently is store credit from which the majority of the entry fee will be going straight to the prize pool.  This is the first tournament our local henchmen have been able to run and therefore we don't have any soulstones with which to purchase additional prize support.  Hopefully we'll have at least one or two of the Black Friday models available for prize support.  We're also talking with a bunch of online retailers and third-party sites trying to get some extra prize support from them.

And yes, Line in the Sand is always available, it was just something that didn't make it into the drafts of schemes because it's always there so it didn't get copied and pasted in.  I'll change that right now.

Just added myself, thanks for making this.  I own the books for both Fated and Fate Master and would be willing to try both.  Trying to put together a group to play at a new local store in Gaithersburg, Maryland called Play More Games.

I've got some Gremlins I'm looking to trade.  I've got 1E metals.  I have Somer with 4 Gremlins, 1 Mosquito, 5 piglets, 1 War Pig, 1 Pig Whisperer and Ophelia and her kin (all 5 named ones).  They're in various stages of paint and assembling but they're on Wyrd swamp bases with the exception of the piglets that are unbased.  Let me know if you're interested, I could use some Outcasts.

Added a new store in Gaithersburg, Maryland to the list, Play More Games.  We've got some veteran players trying to start a new player base.

May end up being Malifaux lite, all guns and no zombie hookers!

Honestly the Zombie Hookers is the reason 95% of us are here. Any game can have guns, but the extra gooey ladies? Sign us up.

That's a shame, where is this new location? Technically Hobbytown is my second closest store, right behind Dream Wizards (a wretched hive of scum and villainy) so I usually end up driving to Glen Burnie for Dropzone or Games & Stuff.

Are they still charging for the use of their tables? I used to go up to Hobbytown pretty frequently to buy stuff and I even played my first game of Malifaux there. However, they keep replacing their minis stock with non minis (the latest being replacing the Warmachine wall with Boy Scouts uniforms).

Is there a good community at Hobbytown? I thought they were trying to push minis gaming more and more out the door.

I enjoyed them when I played down there on Saturday with Pierre.

I'll interested though can't say for sure. I'd like to get more games in, are you guys getting good numbers Thursday nights for the M2E rules?

and it could be out....any second?

I like your wishful thinking

I'm pretty sure a Gremlin version of this would be easy to fit in the game. Gremlin musician, complete with washboard and the chkchkachkchkchkachkchkachkchka.

I'd also say that if you're right, the only thing that you lose is getting new models every year, you can still play 1.5.

New models, new options, new players and if you buy one of those little trees...NEW CAR SMELL!

(Note of caution - a "quick" game of B5 was at least four hours)

Oh Babylon 5. Being my favorite Sci-Fi show of all time, I drooled every time I saw that card game being played. I won't make anyone here feel old by saying how young I was when the game was played, but it was one I always wanted to get into. I've always been tempted to pick up any B5 products when I see them for sale, but I never know if they're good or if I have people to play with.
