I wanted to let you know that I had to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the Malifaux events at WarZone Houston this year. This was largely due to the fact that the dates for Gen Con were moved to the weekend before WarZone and most of the out of town participants who would come to Houston for this event will be attending Gen Con and can't swing travel for tournaments two weekends in a row. The plan is to be a part of WarZone Houston in 2022 when the date won't be so close to that of Gen Con. Thank you all for your understanding; I will be reaching out to anyone who already purchased tickets shortly to make sure your refund gets processed promptly and properly.

Sounds like fun! I've enjoyed any of the board games from Wyrd that have come out so far, I look forward to seeing what this one is!

@Kyle I don't see this asked above, but I might have missed if this was already answered--in the past for online orders it has been 1 Miss Model per Order over $100 but in person at Gen Con it has been 1 Miss Model for every $100 spent, so an online order of $201 would receive 1 Miss Model but and in-person purchase of $201 would receive 2 Miss Models. How is this being handled this year? Is it 1 per order or 1 for every $100 spent?

And because I apparently can't upload photos directly to this thread from my phone, here are finally some photos from LVO:

As the TO from LVO I didn’t mind the drops. There’s a lot to do in Vegas and playing two full days of a tourney can be tiring; for some players it was three full days as I ran a Double Rush tourney and All Out Brawl on Friday. To change the topic away from opinions on drops. Here’s a few pictures of the tables from LVO

It was in Las Vegas, there were a couple people who had a bit too wild of a night after day 1 of the tourney and didn’t wake up until the afternoon day 2.
