Salutations Wyrdos! I'm a high school teacher, and I advise for a gaming club on our campus, and am pleased to announce our third annual Extra Life event! If you're a regular listener to Mali-podcasts, I know some hosts (like the gang at Critical Condition, Cheated Fates, Lost Boys Radio, and Faux-hio) are very passionate about this charity event. For us, even though we've only done this event for two years in a SUPER rural area, my high schoolers and I have made $3500+ in donations to the Children's Miracle Network. Which brings me to you, the Wyrdos! I doubt anyone can join me, my wife, and my small Mali-meta to play any Nythera games or Through the Breach with us during the 25 hours in Yreka CA during Halloween 2015 (all are welcome if you can!), but if you'd like to donate to our cause, we'd really appreciate the help! Sponsor me or, even better, one of my gamer kids at our Roster Page, and we will be eternally grateful! #ForTheKids Thanks!

Praise be to the Moose! Only bug I could find (if it is one): McMourning with "On the Clock" denies any Mercenary hiring immediately after hiring the Z.Dog, Seb, or a Nurse. I don't have the Upgrade on me, but I don't recall any restriction after using it's hiring options.

I highly recommend that Skill reference. Knowing what the Associated Aspects are is really helpful, and reduces Fated Almanac look-up time. Cetiken inspired me to update my own .xlsx cheat sheet. I originally just had Skills, but General Actions is a good idea too... I print mine out like a pamphlet so players have both refs so they're not flipping the page. Comments welcome! TtB Skills.xlsx

In 1.5 fluff, while visually and physically Malifaux seems similar in many ways, several viewpoints and characters describe overall colors to be more saturated than Earth, especially when just crossing from Earthside. As for the "seasons" Aaron mentioned, weather seems to be super chaotic Maliside. A big part of the opening story is having heavy snowfall in Malifaux's equivalent July (see the Breachside Broadcast), most likely due to the machinations of a certain Cult. Don't be afraid to have the City breath and be an environmental harbinger of Destiny Steps to come for players. For other crunch, I believe it's been stated Malifaux has a 24 hr day, 365 day year, but length of daylight/nighttime per season might be different (ie different axial tilt, assuming Malifaux exists as a planet?).

I'm excited because I see the possibility of something hinted at since Malifaux first started; playing Tyrants mayhaps?

Emblems are a Monday Preview found here.

The goal of this thread is to be a one-stop index of all published TtB materials. I’ll do my best to come back to this and edit/update the original post as necessary. If there are any non-Wyrd blogs/groups/wikis/etc that you are part of that I’m missing, please let me know! Publications marked with "*" contain pre-generated Fated characters (flag me if you see any incorrectly marked/unmarked). Updated 3/16/22: It appears Wyrd has reorganized how they display purchasable TtB products, which is frankly far more aesthetically pleasing compared to my list below. However, I'll still keep this post up-to-date, as it keeps track of a bit more information that might be useful for FM's looking for additional resources (ie which adventures have pregens, which Chronicles has free articles and/or One Shots, etc). I've also decided to include the back-cover taglines of some modules, to better guide FM's on what to expect in each product. I have also found that some of my links are broken now. I'll fix them at later updates. Cheers! Core Rulebooks: TtB 2.0 Core Rules Start here for both players & FMs! Contains the Crossroads Tarot to make generic human Fated.

Additions, comments, and questions welcome!

For sure! I was sad to see it go. I hope to see more Podcast talk of sessions and character building/evolution in the future, and if that means I have to be the one to re-ignite that spark, might just do it!

It took me a little under a year, but my first Through the Breach campaign, Metempsychosis in Malifaux (or MiM), just concluded last weekend. What an awesome ride! Both myself as FM and my three to five Fated had quite a ride, and I think everyone is chomping at the bit to start TtB #2 after I take a break and be a player for a little while in some DnD/PF campaigns. In any case, with MiM done, I actually have an interesting podcast opportunity now. In addition to creating and managing an Obsidian Portal wiki for MiM, since Session 3 (of 22), I have recorded our sessions. Now, I have zero Podcasting experience (other than being a guest in a few), but I’m willing to learn, edit, and publish these sessions over my downtime in the summer if there’s enough interest. I know I personally enjoyed the Through the Breach Podcast RPG recordings while they were playing; I just need to know I wasn’t the only one and such a publication would be of interest to the M2E/TtB community. And finally, my Plea. Free RPG day is coming up on June 20th, and Wyrd is publishing their free RPG one-shot, Recruitment Drive. Now typically I don’t mind scrounging for the digital copies of such special items, but I’m kind such a big fan of TtB, I really hope to obtain the actual hardcopy and stay completionist to the TtB franchise. Problem is, the closest participating store to me is around 200 miles, and it’s not feasible for me to make the special trip to *maybe* get a copy. Is there any way I could convince a fellow TtB Wyrdo to pick up a second copy for me and send it my way? I’m more than willing to pay for shipping, even inconvenience pay, I just need that book! Comments and questions welcome!

Terrifying model, and an excellent model for Driders in other RPG systems. Agree with Omnicarbivore, must purchase a dozen!

I'm not sure the best place to put this, but to add color to Campaign games and, more notably, TtB, I whipped up some rudimentary versions of Guild Scrip to help my players keep track of their economy. With how much cash is exchanged during some of my sessions, I thought props like the below would be helpful and help immersion. It's regrettably done on PowerPoint (so I only had so many tricks to play with without Photoshop), and I reserve the right to return to the designs and add a bit more "Victorian banknote" flair later. And just to cover my backside, all images are ownership of Wyrd Miniatures, LLC, and this file should only be used for entertainment. Cheers!, Guild Scrip
