News travels quickly in Malifaux, especially news that the powerful want to be heard. But with so many Divergent storylines, which Path is the correct one? The one told by the last one standing. "Hot Off The Presses!" Malifaux Story Encounter Saturday, October 8th This is a Divergent Paths event. In lieu of the standard Gaining Grounds strategies, we will be using the Story Encounters from the Divergent Paths event. 50SS Factions are not fixed for this. Play whatever you want each game! Registration: 10am Start: 11am Rounds: 2 hours Entry: FREE! Painting Requirement: You must play 1 game with a painted crew to satisfy the painting requirement (see Gaining Grounds). You may play with unpainted models, but you will not be eligible for prizes. Except Guilders, everybody gets Guilders! Proxies: Proxies are allowed for unreleased models. Each Round will feature one of the three Story Encounters. Round 1 will be the Self-Righteous Man, Round 2 the Trickster, and Round 3 the Inquisitive Child. The Story Encounters will be printed out for your convenience, and they are also found here: http://www.wyrd-games.net/divergent-paths-encounters Round 1 Strategy: Rampage Deployment: Flank Schemes: Convict Labor, Take Prisoner, Show of Force, Search the Ruins, Mark for Death Round 2 Strategy: Corpse Hunt Deployment: Corner Schemes: Convict Labor, Hunting Party, Exhaust Their Forces, Frame for Murder, A Quick Murder Round 3 Strategy: Gathering Scraps Deployment: Standard Schemes: Convict Labor, Show of Force, Leave Your Mark, Covert Breakthrough, Inspection

It's a new event, which means a return of our Weekly strategy session. The first set of encounters popped up and we need to figure out the best way to keep the Guild on top. The Man: Set him on the straight and narrow with the service of the Guild Guard. The Child: A new witch hunter is born. The Trickster: A new member of the Ortega family? The first week is rather exploratory, so for now let's focus on how to win these various scenarios. Personally, I'd love another Guardsman synergy model, so I'm pushing for the Man.

I'd like the self righteous gent to fall into trouble with various factions since he's such a smug bastard. He's going to end up running the nicest bar in the bayou. Alternatively, he dies early on and gets replaced by 2 gremlins hiding in his coat.

I want the lady for a 10T black sheep. She's a lady of privelege and a gossip monger. Little does she know, her sewing circle is composed of 10T informants.

I'm on board with a Hoffman kid sidekick. Get ready to childproof the Governor's mansion.

The Brutal Effigy done up as a surgeon's assistant would be nice. He's a cheap significant model and McMourning really benefits from the healing and card draw.

Yay, looking forward to this! RIP colored names

In the bayou south of Malifaux City, there's only one rule: the strongest rules. And who is the strongest? The one with the biggest hat. "Bigger Hat Than You" Malifaux Tournament Saturday, September 17th Gaining Grounds Tournament 50SS Fixed Faction Registration: 10am Start: 11am Rounds: 2 hours Entry: FREE! Painting Requirement: You must play 1 game with a painted crew to satisfy the painting requirement (see Gaining Grounds). You may play with unpainted models, but you will not be eligible for prizes.

We are starting up a Shifting Loyalties campaign. This is open to anybody in the area, even if you can't make it out to Texas Toy Soldier every Monday. We will be running the campaign over 6 "weeks". Each in-game "week" will be equal to 2 real time weeks. So, if we start on May 11th, our week 2 hiring will be on May 25th. This is to both accommodate people's lives and so campaign play doesn't crowd out other gaming. Standard Campaign Rules apply. Start with a 35SS arsenal lead by a Henchman, which you pay for normally, and 1 upgrade. The wrinkles for this one: -The Doctor is in play, so your injuries can be fixed up (sorta) at a cost -We will be using Hide Outs to determine a "winner" so make sure your crib is appropriately swaggy -Every week, if you play with a newly painted model, you earn 1 extra scrip. This bonus is applicable once per week and can put you over the standard limit of 16 scrip per "week". Submit your arsenals and hide out selection here or in a PM and when we start I'll collate them and keep records. Games can be played at TTS, other stores, at home, Vassal, or wherever so long as it's with somebody else participating in the campaign. Honor system, guys. If anyone needs the full rules, they are in Shifting Loyalties. The Campaign Quick Reference is also a handy file: http://www.wyrd-games.net/s/Shifting-Loyalties-Campaign-files.zip
