Hi,
I run local Malifaux tournaments at our hobbyshop and recent game had fixed Grim Fandango themed scenario. For those who are not familiar with the title I suggest googling about it, since it suits Malifaux setting quite well in some way. Anyway, we used a fixed scenario:
It's day of the dead and recently departed souls are popping here and there and it's your job to guide them to their final resting place.
At the end of the turn, player that activated last model, spawns two lost souls on the table: first uncheated flip defines direction form center of the table using clock directions (jokers and 13 are redrawn) with 6 o'clock being center of players deployment zone, second uncheated flip defines distance in inches from the center. Same goes for second lost sole token. A non-insignificant model base to base with token may perform an action (1) Take My by My Hand to pick up that sole token. It may then perform only walk actions and if it is forced to move somehow other than walk (push, etc.) it drops token. It may also drop the token for free willingly. Dropped token disappear (or run away if you will). For every soul token brought to deployment zone make a flip:
Black joker: devil in disguise - model receives uncheatable damage flip of 2/3/4 and player does not score redeemer points
1-6: sinner - player does not score redeemer points
7-13: goody-two-shoes - player receives 1 redeemer point
red joker: "Number Nine" passenger - player receives 2 redeemer points
Goal of the game is to score as much redeemer points as possible. 4VP to player with most redeemer points, 2 VP to player with at least 1 redeemer point.
Scenario worked fine for a game with 25 point armies, had reasonable amount of surprise and planning with enough space for face smashing. Hope it helps for someone looking for some original ideas. It would be nice to hear your opinions about this scenario too.
Ah yes, we also had 'cactus juice on the house' during the event
