  1. I can't speak for all of us, but I am illiterate.
  2. Thanks for the heads up. I fixed it in the main post, but here is another link just in case.
  3. You've introduced me to something I didn't know I wanted.
  4. We actually just fell through holes into other dimensions while working on that one.
  5. We've updated our Code of Conduct for the Wyrd Forum and all Wyrd Virtual spaces.
  6. Oops! Thanks for correcting us on that!
  7. Hey Wyrdos, This week, Waldo decided it was time to get into shape for the upcoming beach season in the fiery pit he calls home. Unfortunately, his version of training consists primarily of listening to “Eye of the Tiger” on repeat while lounging on the office couch. So while we try to convince Waldo that montages are only in videos and not real life, let’s take a moment to discuss some of our plans for Gen Con 2021 coming up in a few months. After such a long time stuck in our homes and waiting for a return to normalcy, Wyrd is excited to start planning for our presence at this year’s Gen Con. We are going to be there showing off new content for Malifaux and The Other Side; as well as showcasing our new and upcoming tabletop games including Bayou Bash! We’ll even be offering some free goodies to players taking part in any of our events. For those of you that can’t make it to the show this year, we will also have various virtual events to showcase our Gen Con content as well as participating in Pop-Up Gen Con at your local game store. However, as this year’s Gen Con is following a rough year for everyone including the tabletop games industry, Wyrd’s presence at these events will be a bit different from years past, making changes primarily aimed at the health, safety, and comfort of our community and staff. As such, for this year’s Gen Con we will be requiring masks for all staff and volunteers, sanitizing components for every demo and event in-between every playthrough, and limiting our event attendees to promote healthy distance between players and a safe and fun experience. With these precautions in mind, we are still in the planning portion of our event listings and are looking for our community’s help to estimate how many attendees are looking to join in our amazing events so that we can properly plan the event space with the health, safety, and comfort of our players and staff in mind. If you are planning or interested in attending this year’s Gen Con Event, from Sept 16th – 19th, please take the time to answer the following questions for us: In addition to Gen Con, Wyrd will also be at Origins later in the year (September 30th – October 3rd). If you are interested in volunteering with us for either event, please let us know here and if you want to help with our board game events but haven't played them yet? We can get you the rules beforehand! Next week, we’ll be making our super-secret board game not so super-secret, so make sure to tune in. In the meantime, if you haven’t yet seen it from us, we are currently running a giveaway in support of all the amazing Wyrd community content creators out there, so be sure to check out all the fantastic creators listed below for your chance to win one of three Malifaux Core Boxes. Malifaux Core Box Giveaway!
  8. Nah, I'm just a sucker for a good pop culture reference. But the chess connection made sense with her personality and it is a very, very good show.
  9. He's currently tied up in my basement subsisting only off alphabet soup and animal crackers.
  10. Hey Wyrdos! This week, Waldo was a bit stunned coming into the office. Everywhere he looked, our staff seemed to be gearing up and getting ready to go to battle, packed with our foam-tipped rounds and padded swords. Not one to miss out on all the fun, he spent the next few minutes duct-taping ceiling tiles to his belly, claiming it was “gut armor”. That’s right, this week we are going to battle and will be discussing new changes to Malifaux Third Edition, with the introduction of Season 2 of Gaining Grounds, along with updated errata Stat cards for several models, and an update to the FAQ for good measure. Season 2 of Gaining Grounds is here, an update to our comprehensive guide to tournaments and organized play. For the past year, our community has been somewhat limited in how they play, often reaching out to online services such as Vassal or Tabletop Simulator to get their Malifaux fix. While many have continued to play online, a large portion of our great community had to put tabletop gaming on hold for some time. As the world starts slowly getting back to normal, we thought it was time to highlight the Strategies and Schemes that we’ve had the most fun with so far since Third Edition launched. In Gaining Ground Season 2, you’ll find some fan-favorite Strategies and Schemes, such as Symbols of Authority and Outflank, but we’re also introducing a new Strategy: Break the Line. Some fan-favorite Schemes will also be returning this time around, as well as some updates to older schemes to breathe some new life into them. Along with new Strategies and Schemes, Gaining Grounds Season 2 introduces a few other rules to help contain certain outliers with adjustments to Summoning and other gameplay elements within the competitive environment. But as mentioned, Season 2 isn’t coming by itself: riding alongside it is an update to our FAQ along with a host of changes within this April 2021 Errata. These updates will bring clarity on some questions brought up in the past and shake up the current competitive landscape with adjustments to various Masters, including both buffs and nerfs to various models contained within the Errata. Click here for more information on the M3E April 2021 Errata. While this Errata covers most Factions in the game, due to its recent release, Explorer’s Society will take some more time before any changes may be made to them. For those seeking to refresh their Stat Cards, updated versions of Gaining Grounds Encounter cards and Errata Cards can be found for print-on-demand now at Wargame Vault or on to download here for free. Errata Cards and Gaining Grounds will be updated in the M3E Crew Builder App in the days to come. As always, you’ll be able to find all of this content on the Malifaux Resources page. Before we go, if you haven’t yet checked it out, today is the last day to join us in our Instagram contest. Follow us on Instagram for a chance to win some web store credit! Otherwise, that’s it from us this week.
  11. Thanks for bringing this up. We had a few technical hiccups getting it fixed yesterday when we were fixing the dropbox but it should be good on the app now.
  12. The link from https://www.wyrd-games.net/m3e-languages for the English Rulebook should be updated with the Errata now. Sorry for any confusion.
  13. Hey Wyrdos! This week we found Waldo trying to get a giant rock in through the front door. He’s surprisingly strong, and it took all of us to stop his impromptu redecorating. When we asked him what in the world he was doing, Waldo claimed he’d wanted to learn a new language, so he went out and “borrowed” the Rosetta Stone. Waldo’s never been one for academia; we think he just wanted an excuse to steal something. He insisted he has a special card that lets him rent ancient relics. On closer inspection, it was just a sticky note with his picture drawn on in crayon. Looks like we’re going to need to make a few phone calls to the British Museum… In related news, we’re proud to announce new translations of the Malifaux 3E rulebook! It is now available in Spanish, Italian, and Russian, with a Japanese version coming shortly. As a reminder, we also have German, French, and Polish versions available. Click on the link below and check them out! Languages in Malifaux are a great way to add depths and character to your Through the Breach campaigns. Might want to take a look at the Tome of Tongues if your Fated characters are interested in learning some new words… just make sure you don’t bend its pages! That’s all for this week, Wyrdos. Waldo will no doubt keep giving us headaches, but for now we’re just trying to stop him from using the Rosetta Stone as a coffee table…
  14. Hey Everyone, in order to parse our feedback a little more easily we are going to lock down this thread and ask that any Comments, Requests, or concerns you may have posted here be placed in their own thread within our App Forum.
  15. All new Errata cards and Gaining Grounds Season One Cards are now available on Wargame vault here: https://www.wargamevault.com/browse/pub/5162/Wyrd-Miniatures

  17. Hey Wyrdos! This week, Waldo heard we’d be going to the GAMA Expo. He insisted on coming with, and now we need to try and figure out how to fit an imp into a truck. While we pack up Waldo’s suitcases (most of them are filled with hats; he claims he’ll need all of them in case the sky starts falling), we thought it would be a good time to present: Gaining Grounds Season One! A comprehensive guide for tournaments and official play, Gaining Grounds introduces 4 brand-new Strategies and a slew of Schemes (8 brand-new and 5 old favorites). Casual and competitive gamers alike will benefit, so click here to take a look and start putting together your Crews. But that’s not all; we also have the official FAQ and Errata for Malifaux! This update aims to clarify some questions and add adjustments to some models. Click here to see what’s been changed. The Gaining Grounds Season One Card Pack will also be available soon; this includes all the new Gaining Grounds Schemes, Strategies, and Errata that players will need to keep their games of Malifaux 3E updated. Because Gaining Grounds is a yearly event, the Card Packs are a limited run and won’t be reprinted. Players and distributors will be able to get them from our webstore when we announce their availability. For the digitally inclined, individual cards will soon be available for free on our Malifaux Crew Builder App and for print-on-demand via Wargame Vault. That’s all for now, Wyrdos. Waldo is riding shotgun to the GAMA Expo, so there won’t be a Weekly next week. In the meantime, we’re excited to hear your thoughts! Dive into our community forums to discuss the best ways to start gaining ground in 2020.
  18. Hey Wyrdos, There are still a lot of volunteer shifts available, especially for The Other Side and helping out as a TO for our Malifaux Tournament on Saturday. If you're headed to Adepticon this year, consider picking up a shift! Anyone looking to help out, please email me at matt@wyrd-games.net
  19. GG1 has a section with the exact definition of both friendly-controlled and enemy-controlled.
  20. Hey Wyrdos, It’s only once every 4 years that we experience a Leap Year, and this week Waldo is more excited than ever. You see, Waldo somehow got it into his head that February 29th is like Vegas, and nothing he does is going to have consequences. As such, this week Waldo’s been busy planning an entire day of debauchery, leaving our office relatively quiet for the time being. So, while Waldo is busy preparing for his magnum opus, let’s take a sneak peek at some upcoming content for the future of Malifaux Third Edition. When working on new Strategies for Malifaux, the primary goals are to create fun, interactive Encounters that encourage choice in Crew building while not limiting players to one specific path to victory. Let’s start with a blast from the past that’s been given new life in M3E: Symbols of Authority. Symbols of Authority has been revamped to fit the new design of the game while keeping the theme equal offense and defense that made it such a popular Strategy during its release in Gaining Grounds 2018. These themes are primarily accomplished through clever mobility and positioning. The same themes present in Symbols of Authority show up in a multitude of different ways. Take Recover Evidence, for example: Recover Evidence has players fighting back against their enemies who have gathered intel on their Crew while defending their own evidence. This Strategy has an emphasis on Strategic combat, keeping key models alive while focusing your enemies down one at a time and leaving yourself time to reclaim their stolen intel. Now cereal without milk is a bit dry, and the same goes with Strategies without Schemes, so let’s take a quick look at one of the new Schemes introduced with Gaining Grounds Season One: Runic Binding. While this is just a small taste of what’s to come with Gaining Grounds Season One, you can look forward to its full release next week. For those who want a few secrets on where some of the ideas for GG1 came from (along with other fun tidbits and designer insights) look for an upcoming Third Floor Wars podcast featuring special guests -us! The Malifaux community is thriving and if you want to catch up on new changes and discussions you should check out some podcasts made for and by the Wyrd Community, from the more mechanical focused Third Floor Wars and Schemes and Stones podcasts to other more story and lore driven work like Steam Powered Scoundrels, Soulstory, or even our own Breachside Broadcast!

  22. Hey Wyrdos, This week, Waldo’s taken up a new hobby: shadow puppets! So far he’s mastered making a dog, a turkey, and a bat (those wings come in handy). Some of his shadow puppets looked frighteningly toothy and tentacle-y, so we hid the flashlights and batteries. Hopefully Waldo doesn’t find any candles… Speaking of shadows, the ones around the office seem to have gotten much darker than usual. We’ve tried to brighten the place up as much as possible, but no matter what we do it always seems like the gloom keeps coming back. Waldo is the most likely culprit (being shady because we locked up the batteries, no doubt), but we want to make sure. We took a few pictures of the darkest and spookiest corners of the office; check them out and let us know if you find anything… That’s it from us. Next week we’ll be in Nevada for the Las Vegas Open. We hope to see you there! Waldo will be coming with us, so you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer for our next big reveal. Until next time!
  23. Hey Wyrdos, This week, Waldo’s been working hard on his New Year’s Resolution - to quit smoking. It’s hard for most, but for Waldo it basically just consists of standing still and not touching anything flammable, so he’s asking for the impossible. Speaking of evil imps, we were excited to share some exciting new Malifaux content for you. We had planned to explore the inner workings of the Explorer’s Society, and even invite you to see the home of the Explorer’s Society founder, Lord Justin Cooper. Unfortunately, his lawyers stopped us at the gate before we could get any good pictures and shoved this contract in our face, spouting legal jargon about servitude and claiming only those who are invited to “join” the Explorer’s Society are allowed in. Something tells us the only way we’re going to get an invite into the Explorer’s Society and meet Lord Cooper is to sign the contract... *this is for fun and not legally binding in any way.
