I'd agree with most of that Mike. I didn't find noise upstairs too bad, but I can see why it could've been a problem. To counter your "check-in time" problem, I think your on the fly adaptation/flexibility was fantastic. Sure things overran a little, but not massively, and I never heard a single complaint about it, and I really don't think it affected anything. My only additional comment was that human space was a bit limited on some tables (bumping into the person behind me or next to me), particularly upstairs, making it tricky to get stuff into/out of boxes for instance. My only possible suggestion would be to make more use of that middle room (the bottom tables/painting comp space), but then I guess if we'd had the full 128 people, that would've been full too, so realistically I think it can't be helped. Also I'd rather we got tons of people with less space, than reducing the number of participants with more elbow room. My only other complaint was that the quiz didn't have any Razorspine Rattler based questions. So in summary (as I told you a few times over the weekend), an excellent event, well run, 10/10, very little room for improvement, feel proud of yourself and make a well deserved cup of tea.

Hi folks, Having just played in UK nationals, there is going to be a small flurry of posts over the next week or so at Play It Like Beatdown. It was flippin' good fun, and really ace to meet tons of Malifauxers from across the country. Here's the first one https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/nationals-games-12-stumbling-out-of-the-blocks/ about games 1 and 2, against Mark Elwood and Martin Manson. EDIT: For ease of reading, here's the second post, covering games 3+4 of day 1 of nationals, against Pete Rees and Rik Philips https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/nationals-games-34-the-rocky-style-montage/ Enjoy Dave/sssk

Hi folks There's a new post up at https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/11/09/on-the-topic-of-gaming-etiquette/ Slightly different today, it's about what you should/shouldn't tell your opponent in a game, and essentially whether I'm too nice. Enjoy Dave/sssk

Hi folks, There's a post up at https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/10/30/nationals-the-kaeris-crew/ all about the fixed Kaeris crew I'll be running at the UK nationals in 2 weeks time! Enjoy Dave/sssk

Hi folks, There's a new post up at https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/10/24/the-day-of-the-wyrd/ all about "The Day of the Wyrd", a tournament the day after Pigfaux, in which I further tested out my Kaeris crew. Enjoy Dave/sssk

Hi folks, There's a new post up at https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/10/18/pigfaux/ all about Pigfaux, a tournament run by McFauxish, in which I tested out a fixed Kaeris crew. Enjoy Dave/sssk

I suspect I'll drive down each day separately, so if you want a lift on the Saturday morning and sunday evening you're welcome to them. Same for you Dan (and anyone else in the Sheffield area). I haven't been to masters (side events) yet, so this should be good. Looking forward to more news Dave/sssk

Sadly I fear I won't be around for November or December. I think people should stop this paradigm of saying "When shall we do X?.... let's do it on the first weekend of *insert month*". Also 29th of Jan and 12th of feb is pretty close together!... not that I'm complaining, I live about 3 feet away from outpost
-
I know I'm away one of those weekends. I think the first weekend, but if I'm here, I'm up for it. Also note nationals is on the weekend of the..12th...13th... something around there, of November, so you might have fewer attendees for November's tournament (especially if it's that weekend).

Hi folks, There's a new post up at https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/09/25/nationals-crew-1-0/ This time it's the first in a line of posts about the build up to UK Nationals (in November), and my approach to the tournament. Enjoy Dave/sssk

Hi folks, I've been whittering on again about another tournament, "The Quick And The Wyrd". https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/the-quick-and-the-wyrd/ Enjoy Dave/sssk

Paid up. Now I have a bit less than a month in which to paint up a bunch of shiny new models.... how hard can it be?
-
Hopefully I'll be here, though I am at Sanctuary the day before... My brain won't be ruined right?... Probably wouldn't make a difference anyway...
-
"Oh Francois..." *Spontaneously combusts* -
Well Sandeep has arrived, I've read his cards, I've become confused, looks like another Marcus tournament... See you all tomorrow Dave/sssk

Hi folks, I've been to another tournament, this time it was an escalation tournament playing 35, 45, and 50 ss games. https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/clash-of-the-tyrants/ Enjoy Dave/sssk
-
I'm alive and kicking! Might be slightly exhausted (in real life, not the scheme), but non-the-less I shall trundle down and move some models around boards and flip many cards. See you all there. Dave/sssk
-
I think I'm free for this. Is it ok to rock up tomorrow and pay on the door (if I make it there)? Hope that won't mess up your pairings etc too much. Cheers Dave/sssk

Hi folks, Following her excellent showing at the tournament last time, this post is about what I use Cassandra for. Feel free to comment (there or here) with all the millions of things I've no doubt missed out. https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/scheme-machine/ Enjoy Dave/sssk

All booked in, and looking at the attendees so far I won't have to buy the wooden spoon I need to stir my porridge. Looking forward to it, should be a good 'un!

Note that the current venue is in a different place to the shop 2 years ago. In other news, time to get me a ticket methinks. *EDIT* Got my ticket. So if Sandeep rocks up in time, I'm ok to use him right?... though that might well just guarantee me a bunch of losses

Hi folks, After a long hiatus, "Play It Like Beatdown", my blog about playing Malifaux badly, returns! In the olden days it was pretty much all about playing Marcus, but recently I've mixed things up a bit and started using Kaeris, plus I've got Sandeep on the way too. So if you want something to read which is certainly not going to make you the world Malifaux champion, why not stop by? https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/ Enjoy Dave/sssk

Hi Folks, I'm Dave. Used to be on here as "sssk", but having been off in the antipodes for a long while, it's time for a fresh beginning to match up with my twitter account (iamsssk). I play Arcanists (not only Marcus now either) badly, and have a long and illustrious career in propping up the lower middle region of tournament score boards. If you have an unhealthy appreciation of Razorspine Rattlers (RSRs) and/or want to learn how not to play the game, why not check out my blog at https://playitlikebeatdown.wordpress.com/ Dave/sssk

Great. I'll get booked in as soon as I know I'm free. I can just bring Marcus instead if that would make you happier? I'm less "not good" with him than Kaeris... or at least I was 2 years ago

hi Ross, How many spaces are there for Pigfaux? I'm hoping to be able to get there, but will need to sort it nearer the time. Cheers Dave/sssk
