  1. Hey Wyrdos!

    This week, we came into the office to find it filled with wrappers of all kinds. Turns out Waldo decided to eat all the candy he was supposed to hand out to trick-or-treaters, claiming he was saving us from being swarmed by “tiny ghosts and goblins”. While we remind a very bloated Waldo about his Holiday responsibilities (again), let’s explore a new Through the Breach One Shot where one of the main characters is in slightly worse shape.

    WW_11.2.2022_Memento-Mori_Cover.jpg

    Have From Nightmares but are looking for a launching point for an adventure? Trying to introduce your Fated to the nefarious underbelly of Malifaux City’s Neverborn population?  In Memento Mori, the Fated are called to the wake of an old acquaintance. He’s left a final will and testament… along with some unfinished business. The Fated must venture into the darkness to deal with Neverborn of all shapes and sizes before putting their beloved friend to rest.

    Memento Mori is a brand new One Shot adventure that can be incorporated into any Through the Breach campaign. While it’s a place where Twisted (Neverborn) Fated can shine, all are welcome to help fulfill the final wishes of the dead…

    WW_11.2.2022_Art.jpg

    You can download the PDF of Memento Mori RIGHT NOW for just $5 on DriveThruRPG. Head over to grab your copy of this Neverborn-filled adventure today!

    That’s all for now, Wyrdos. We’ll see you next week!

  2. As Carving Day approaches, citizens of Malifaux take delights in adding a bit of levity to the fearful things lurking behind corners. Children don costumes and ask for candy; adults dress in masks and disguises to attend parties and get-togethers.

    But even though it’s a time of festive celebration, few can shake their gut feeling. Is that makeup, or a zombie? A stitched mask or a malicious puppet? A friend, a foe, or both? The night is still young…

    Experience a masquerade just like that with this new Halloween Malifaux scenario! It’s perfectly suited to larger groups, packed to the brim with intrigue, and will have you questioning just who’s who by the end of the night. Spooky candles, nougat, and atmospheric music not included.

    Download a Printer friend version of this Scenario here.

    But where to get costumes on such short notice? In Through the Breach, Fated desperate for a last-minute getup might find themselves directed to an old building newly occupied. Ornate lettering on the signage out front reads “Costume Shoppe”. Colorful dress, masks, and jewelry glitters inside. Why don’t you come in? Mr. Mazzanti has been waiting for you…

    As a reminder, we still have our Iggy special promotion going on. If you spend $75 or more at your local game store from now until October 31st, you can fill out the form on our promotions page to receive this Alt Iggy! Just remember to keep your receipt! Submitted your form and haven’t heard anything? Don’t worry! We only contact you if there’s an issue, so you should have your Iggy in no time.

    But that is not all, a blast from the past for Wyrd’s Spooky History is making an appearance, Vasyl was one of the first models we ever created as a company, and while his undying spirit may no longer haunt the halls of our office, Vasyl has been known to make an appearance at the local bowling alley. As a celebration of the spooky season we are holding a coloring contest!

    Vasyl_Coloring_Page.png

    Print out this art piece and color it to your heart’s content. To make it a little easier to print, the PDF can be found here.

    From now until November 8th, download or print the Vasyl coloring page, color it with your preferred tools of the trade (digital, crayons, markers, pencils - whatever you want!) and post it on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram with the #rottenharvest hashtag so we can find your entry. Make sure that we can see the post so you qualify.

    When the contest ends (on November 8th), we’ll search for all of the entries with the #rottenharvest hashtag and draw two random winners, who will each be receiving both boxsets for this year’s Rotten Harvest. We can’t wait to see your creativity shine with this spooky coloring page!

    We hope you enjoy this Scenario, Coloring Contest, and Augment. Happy Halloween Wyrdos, from the Wyrd team to you all!

  3. Hello Wyrdos!

    Waldo broke out his crayons and colored pencils again this week, and he’s been furiously drawing out a story he says will be the greatest of all stories, ever, no question. Most of the artwork looks to feature Waldo in various heroic situations, always saving the day… maybe we should look at a Story more based in reality?

    WW_10.12.2022_Art-1.jpg

    Said to be a boy no older than 12, Thánh Gióng once led the forces of Vietnam to victory against insurmountable odds. He carried bamboo spears for protection, and rode atop a mechanical horse that breathed fire. Since Linh Ly took over the Red Library, his Story has flourished and returned to life.

    WW_10.12.2022_Card.jpg

    Just like his legendary inspiration long ago, the Story of Thánh Gióng is ready to ride into battle atop his mechanical horse and protect those he holds most dear. His other Red Library and Story allies will, of course, be available in Madness of Malifaux later this month. 

    But that’s not all! Fated and Fatemasters will be able to venture into the Red Library themselves in From Shadows, the upcoming expansion for Through the Breach. While we can’t reveal much more just yet, here’s a look at the Red Librarian Advanced Pursuit and its Advancement Steps! 

    WW_10.12.2022_Art-2.jpg

    • Step 1: Library Science 
    • Step 2: Shifting Text
    • Step 3: Well-Versed
    • Step 4: Rewrite the Story
    • Step 5: Treasures of the Red Library

    The more knowledge Red Librarians have, the happier they are. High History and Literacy Skills let them apply book learning to lots of situations (and get rewards from doing so- daily Magia, anyone?). The most dedicated Librarians gain access to the Red Library’s secrets, going so far as to change reality itself for a time. Just make sure you follow all the rules and don’t forget your library card…

    You can sate your desire for more Red Library knowledge by checking out Corner Case’s reveal on some of the Red Library keyword in the link below!

    Remember, we’re offering a digital promotion on Madness in Malifaux! Check out the information below on how to claim a free digital copy of the book from DriveThruRPG. It will run until the end of the year, so you’ve got time to get your orders in.

    That’s all for this week, Wyrdos, but we’ve got more reveals on the way! Defective Dice will be going over all things Harold Tull and the Cavalier keyword later this week, so go check the channel out!

  4. Hey Wyrdos!

    This week, Waldo gathered us all together and started telling us about some dreams he’s been having lately. In what we can only call a three-hour opera of unimaginably dramatic proportions, our imp revealed the entire intricate backstory behind his nap time reveries. And yes, there were set pieces and cardboard cutouts.

    While Waldo works on designs to represent the characters his mind comes up with, we thought it would be a great time to reveal our latest Through the Breach One Shot that shares an eerily similar theme:

    TTB_OS37_WakingDreams_DT_Cover.jpg

    In Waking Dreams, the Fated are called to investigate a manor being sold on the cheap. The place is haunted, neighbors claim. But it’s not ghosts or undead who walk these halls, oh no. Creatures far more sinister are responsible for the shifting illusions and brutal murders. Or are they? Only one way to find out…

    Waking Dreams is a brand new One Shot adventure that can be incorporated into any Through the Breach campaign. Uncover what secrets the dilapidated manor holds, and see just what’s behind the mysterious happenings in this place of nightmares.

    WW_8.24.2022_InsidiousMadness.jpg

    You can download the PDF of Waking Dreams RIGHT NOW for just $5 on DriveThruRPG. Head over to download your copy of this maddening adventure today!

    That’s all for now, Wyrdos. We’ll see you next week!

  5. Hey Wyrdos,

    This Week, Waldo’s taken a joyride to his local swamp. We bog-ed him not to take the company truck but ultimately couldn’t stop him from quagmiring it. Visions of driving such a big truck had been racing through his mind, so when he marshed up to us demanding the keys, we just stood there like our feet were stuck in the mud.

    So, while we drudge up the courage to get our truck back, let's take another quick look at the new Expansion for Bayou Bash: Hog Wild.

    Hog Wild is all about variety and the spice of life; giving racers new ways to make their way down the track and various new options for play. Hog Wild cards can be introduced at the start of any race, adding wrinkles into the plan of any jockey. These cards can be played by themselves or combined to suit the racing style; whether you want to have more ramming and player fighting, or to encourage a good clean race to the finish (as clean as Gremlins can be that is).

    WW_7.6.2022_HogWildCards.jpg

    In addition to the newly added Hog Wild Cards, this Expansion introduces multiple new game modes, including Big Bayou allowing for eight racers on the track at the same time! Within Big Bayou you’ll be racing along a double-wide track for a straight shot at the gold medal, so be sure to grab 7 of your closest friends and head down to the racetrack. And for those of us that don’t have 7 friends, fear not, for the Greenbellies have arrived. Greenbellies are old and cranky racers who don’t have much left in their racing days but have instead chosen to live out their lives on the track itself. In a race with as few as two players, they can add a new level of exciting racing strategy.

    WW_7.6.2022_WakeyWakey.jpg

    These exciting new thrills have caught the attention of yet more peculiar participants. In addition to the Toad Twins and Whiskey Gamin, two more Racers are joining in on the chaos:

    WW_7.6.2022_GigaTurtle.jpg

    The rough terrain of the landscape can’t stand up to this Rigor Mortis Tortoise. The Giga-Turtle has its eyes on the prize as their monster truck wheels allow them to carefully weave around or trample any terrain in their path. So, if you think slow and steady wins the race, then you’ll be shell-rocked by this racer!

    WW_7.6.2022_UndeadRaptor.jpg

    Often times the quickest path between two points is not straight through, but up and over, which is exactly how this bird-brain thinks. The Undead Raptor hovers and flies over the local terrain, avoiding all those pesky rocks below. They can even fly back onto the track should they fall off when using their Jetpack Setback ability!

    If you are excited at the prospect of 8 player races, undead racers, mysterious mushrooms, and all things wild and crazy, be sure to pick up Bayou Bash: Hog Wild when it releases later this Fall or during our Gen Con Sale!

    This week, Waldo has been tearing through our warehouse, on the lookout for models of himself that he can piece together for a Holiday Waldo Shrine. 

    So, while we clean his leftover scraps and restock the shelves, let’s take a look at the upcoming Black Friday Event!

    If you’re unfamiliar with our annual Black Friday Event, we at Wyrd like to spend this time of year celebrating another spin around the sun by offering some of our limited and hard-to-find miniatures, as well as some exclusives along the way.

    This year is no different. We’ve got a ton available this time around, so rather than wait around any longer, why don’t we take a look at what’s coming next Wednesday, the 24th.

    Blood in the Water

    Did you manage to catch Adi Adara in the Deepest Depths Nightmare box? If you’re looking to expand your aquatic black blooded crew, you’ll have your chance during the Black Friday Event with the Blood in the Water box.

    Included are two Abyssal Reavers, which act as alt Mature Nephilim. Let’s see what these sea-dwellers will look like on the table:

    WW_11.17.2021_BloodintheWater_Models.jpg

    You’ll be able to get the Blood in the Water box for just $35 during the Black Friday Event. And don’t worry, if you didn’t have the chance to get the Nightmare Nekima box during Gen Con, Deepest Depths will be available during this annual event, too!

    Puppetpocalypse

    You may have already seen these adorable bringers-of-the-apocalypse on our Upcoming page, but these button-eyed hellfire and brimstone Riders will be available during the Black Friday Event, as well.

    Included in the Puppetpocalypse box are four preassembled, puppet-scaled Riders. For just $35, you’ll be able to fulfill Malifaux prophecies of the apocalypse in style.

    WW_11.17.2021_Puppetpocalypse.jpg

    Bah Hum Rug

    This year, Waldo is getting back into the holiday spirit with this 50mm preassembled Bah Hum Rug special terrain piece that will be compatible with both Malifaux and The Other Side with rules for both normal play and ways to add a special holiday touch to your games.

    WW_11.17.2021_BahHumRug-Art.jpg

    If you spend $100 or more during the Black Friday Event, you’ll receive the Bah Hum Rug Waldo for free! Or, you can put him in your stocking (aka the webstore cart) for just $25.

  7. Hey Wyrdos,

    This week, Waldo is preparing to join us at Gen Con, and this time, he’s decided to drive the truck. Luckily for us, he doesn’t know the difference between driving an 18-wheeler and getting behind the wheel in an elaborate (cardboard) truck simulator.

    So, while we make sure he somehow doesn’t crash into our digital webstore, let’s take a look at all of the new and upcoming releases that will be available at Gen Con (and on our webstore while we are in Indianapolis).

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_Nightmare2021.jpg

    In case you missed it, last week we revealed this year’s Nightmare Box, which reimagines Nekima and her Nephilim crew as underwater merfolk. What’s unique about this year’s Nightmare Edition is that it is fully compatible with both Malifaux AND The Other Side.

    Regardless of which side of the Breach you’ll be fighting on, the Deepest Depths box will make sure that you do it in aquatic style.

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_BayouBash.jpg

    Bayou Bash is a chaotic racing game for 2-4 players filled with rambunctious racers who will do anything to win over the most fans before crossing the finish line. This long-awaited board game will finally be available during Gen Con this year.

    And if you can’t make it to Gen Con this time around, check to see if your friendly local game store is participating in Pop Up Gen Con. Bayou Bash will be playable and purchasable at all Pop Up Gen Cons.

    If you pick up Bayou Bash while at Gen Con or online during Gen Con, you’ll receive a Bayou Bash pin!  

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_Vagrantsong.jpg

    In Vagrantsong, a cooperative and story-driven boss battler for 2-4 players, you will take on the role of a Vagrant trapped on a supernatural ghost train. Face off against ghosts lingering on the train (called Haints), adjust your playstyle with Skills and Junk acquired along the way, and uncover the secrets of the Silver Ferryman in this spooky and challenging adventure.

    We will have limited copies of Vagrantsong available as a pre-release at Gen Con. Due to having limited copies for this pre-release and preorders, Vagrantsong will only be available at the convention (meaning it will not be available on our webstore until the game’s official release date).

    If you pick up a copy of Vagrantsong from now until January 31st, fill out this form to receive a Bonus Scenario (which includes new Skills, Junk, and Ritual cards) for free (while supplies last).

    Vagrantsong will be released at local game stores later this fall.

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_TOS.jpg

    If you’re looking to get into The Other Side for the first time or are a Malifaux player looking to expand your Guild or Resurrectionist model list, The Other Side’s Starter Box is a great opportunity to do both! As part of the Other Side 2-player Starter set, Kirai Ankoku will bring her host of ghosts Earthside to battle as part of The Court of Two. Fighting against the Court of Two are the iron-willed Guild, showcasing their power Earthside. Led by Sonnia Criid, the Guild are a dominate show of force on the battlefield, with access to new area control and resource management abilities, providing ample card draw and beneficial effects.

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_TOS-StarterBox.jpg

    All of the models in The Other Side’s Starter Box are playable in Malifaux Third Edition, as well!

    Joining them during Gen Con are the official releases for Samantha Thrace and Binh Nguyen. These Champions can be used to expand the forces within the 2-player Starter Box, or can be used independently in other Allegiances in the game. They are also compatible with Malifaux Third Edition as alt models; Samantha Thrace counts as Dashel Barker and Binh Nguyen counts as Datsue Ba.

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_TOS-BinhThraceBoxes.jpg

    The Other Side Starter Box, Samantha Thrace, and Binh Nguyen will be available at Gen Con and during our Gen Con web sale, and will be hitting store shelves later this fall.

    If you purchase The Other Side Starter box from now until January 31st from us, you’ll receive a TOS pin for free!

    WaldosWeekly_9.8.2021_MalifauxBurnsCover.jpg

     

    Malifaux Burns is the upcoming expansion book for Malifaux Third Edition that includes new titles for every Master in the game, as well as dual-keyword models that will be paired with two Masters. In addition to cards and bios of every new title and character, Malifaux Burns also includes one epic story about the Burning Man arriving in Malifaux, and what it means to everyone this side of the Breach.

     

    You’ll be able to pick up the Malifaux Burns expansion book at Gen Con, during the Gen Con web sale, or when it hits store shelves in October. And if you buy it between now and January 31st, send us a proof of purchase here and you’ll receive the digital PDF of Malifaux Burns for free! PDF links will be sent out on a weekly basis after the book is officially released.

    And if you pick up Malifaux Burns during Gen Con (either at the convention or on our webstore), you’ll receive a Malifaux pin, too!

  8. Hey Wyrdos,

    If you’ve been paying attention to our latest Twitch streams, you’ll already know what Waldo’s been up to this week. As it turns out, chewing ethernet cables is his way of technical troubleshooting. Luckily, we have backups. And backups for those backups.

    So, while we coat our cables with aluminum foil (the one thing Waldo doesn’t like to eat), let’s take a look at something different this week.

    By now, some of you might already know that we are FINALLY releasing Bayou Bash, our 2-4 player combative and chaotic racing game, later this month.

    But, most of you haven’t had the chance to give it a test run yet. Today, we’re changing that, because we are launching a playable Bayou Bash demo on Tabletop Simulator (which is available on Steam)!

    BB_Screenshot_1.jpgBB_Screenshot_2.jpgBB_Screenshot_3.jpgBB_Screenshot_4.jpg


    The physical version of Bayou Bash comes with 14 track pieces to build your race to your heart’s content. With the Bayou Bash demo, you and up to 3 of your friends will be able to duke it out on one of 3 pre-made race tracks. Select your racer, choose the track, and you’re off!

    If you’re still hesitant on giving Bayou Bash a whirl, why not take a look at the rulebook? Find out how the Jockey Card drafting system works. Learn how to use Barrels to your advantage! Make sure you know how to avoid falling off the track! Head over to the Bayou Bash page to download a PDF of the rulebook now!

    And if you have no idea what we are talking about at this point, why not give the Bayou Bash trailer a watch?

    Download the Bayou Bash Tabletop Simulator demo today. Head over to our Discord server to find some players!

    We’ll see you at the races!

  9. Well Butter My Buns and call me a Biscuit!

    We got ourselves a Bayou Bash!

    As gremlins climb on rocks and wade in puddles to catch a glimpse of the big race, their favorite racers gear up at the starting line. Time to find out who’s the fastest, and more importantly, who’s the fan favorite!

    Bayou Bash is a chaotic racing game for 2-4 players filled with rambunctious racers who will do anything to win over the most fans before crossing the finish line. Each player takes control of a racer with unique abilities, and must battle for victory across the customizable track while gaining fans along the way. In Bayou Bash, it’s not about who crosses the finish line first, but who pulls off the craziest tricks during the race!

    Hey Wyrdos,

    This week, Waldo woke up to the sound of a train passing through the night. Only problem? There’s no train tracks anywhere near the office. 

    So, while we figure out where all that (locomotion) commotion came from, let’s take a look at our next board game.

    WaldosWeekly_6.2.2021_Waldo.jpg

    You’re just one from a handful of trainhoppers trying to find shelter from the storm. You don’t recognize any familiar faces, and come to think of it, you don’t even remember seeing them hop on the train with you. But every one of them swears up and down that they just got here. And based on your own experience, you can’t help but believe them. The strange thing is that everyone seems to be from a different part of town - or towns - places you’ve never even heard of.

    After a few handshakes and how-do-you-dos, you all try to settle in the best you can. But without a haybale or old cushion to call your own, neither the train nor the situation bring you much comfort. The only thing you all have in common, it seems, is the welcoming hand that helped each of you aboard. White glove, loose skin... couldn’t forget it if you tried…

    WaldosWeekly_6.2.2021_Wallpaper.jpg

    You can download this wallpaper here!

    Hop aboard the Silver Ferryman and welcome to…

    WaldosWeekly_6.2.2021_Logo.jpg

    Vagrantsong is a 2-4 player campaign game that takes place on a haunted train, with heavy inspiration taken from American folklore, folk songs, and ghost stories. As a fully cooperative boss-battler, you and your new friends will take on the roles of Vagrants who are trying to escape this ghostly train. You will have to work together to face your fears, reveal the mystery behind the Silver Ferryman, and devise a plan on how to stop it.

    WaldosWeekly_6.2.2021_Header_1.jpg

    Haints, the lost spirits aboard the Silver Ferryman, will do everything in their power to ensure that Vagrants stay just as trapped in this place as they are… It’s up to the players to figure out how to save these lingering souls while also trying to free themselves before it’s too late.

    Throughout Vagrantsong’s 20+ Scenarios, you’ll be facing off against many Haints, each with their own unique mechanics, goals, and challenges. Every Scenario is completely different – all killer and no filler!

    Haints are fully automated; there’s no need for a game master or another player to take up the role. Performing a Haint’s Action is as simple as drawing a Token from the Bindle bag.

    WaldosWeekly_6.2.2021_Bindle.jpg

    Don’t worry about taking too much time to play. Setting up Vagrantsong is quick and easy. Two minutes of setup can turn into 45 to 90 minutes of play, depending on the player count and Scenario.

    WaldosWeekly_6.2.2021_Header_2.jpg

    As you progress along the tracks of Vagrantsong’s story, the many mysteries of the train will unfold before you, whether through a song in the distance or the choices you make along the way. Each Scenario will have a series of Event Tokens to uncover. They can appear at multiple points during the game, offering aid to Vagrants while simultaneously revealing more of the game’s story. But be careful; oftentimes an Event Token will initiate something dastardly and unexpected!

    Don’t forget that everyone has a story, even the Haints that are trying to keep you here. During each Scenario, you will be presented with Rituals that may be completed to remind the Haints of their lost Humanity, granting you and your friends potential boons for the future.

    Choices made throughout the campaign will have you trigger Moments, which are special (and sometimes secret) elements to the story, and may even provide a deeper understanding of the world around you. But be careful! Some choices will stick with you for the rest of your ride.

    Now it’s time to let the Vagrants shine.

    With 6 Vagrants to choose from, each with their own unique Passives and Skills (as well as the ability to combine over 80 Skill cards, 30 Junk cards, and tons of Actions), the opportunities to customize your playstyle are endless.

    During your turn, you will place your Coins onto Actions you want to perform. With only 3 Coins to place, you’ll need to plan ahead and strategize with your teammates, as you won’t be able to place Coins on the same Skills you did on your last turn. But don’t worry; Vagrants can always move, investigate the train, patch themselves up, rummage for stuff, or just give the Haint a good old-fashioned walloping!

    Let’s take a look at one of the six Vagrants now.

    The Cursebearer has been running for a very long time. Armed with her guile and trusty knife, she hopes to defeat the creature of darkness that pursues her… she just needs to figure out how.

    She is an aggressive, Haint-focused Vagrant who is always on the move. With her powerful strikes and a potent Passive Effect, the Cursebearer is willing to remind any Haint of their lost Humanity so long as they don’t get in her way.

    That’s just the basics of Vagrantsong. There’s a lot more ground to cover, and in the coming weeks, we’ll be diving deeper into the unknown in upcoming Waldo’s Weeklies, so make sure to stay tuned! We are aiming for a pre-release of Vagrantsong at Gen Con, with its official release coming early fall.

    Before we go, let’s take a sneak peek at some of the goodies inside:

    I’m tryin’ to feel festive. I tried roasting Gremlins over an open fire. I tried runnin’ over Abuela with a reindeer. I even tried dreamin’ of a blight Festivus. Nothin’ was workin’.

    They say it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I ain’t buyin’ it. It’s beginnin’ to look a lot like Bah Humbug, if you ask me.

    Since nothin’ seems to be workin’, I decided to run three contests to see if anyone could get me into the holiday spirit.

    “I Saw Mommy Painting Santaldo” is a contest all about painting minis. Paint somethin’ up that is festive enough to bring me some holiday cheer. But it’s gotta be a Wyrd mini.  

    “Oh Snap!” is a gingerbread terrain contest. Build somethin’ that you could put on a table and that I can eat. It’s gotta be in the holiday spirit, and I’m cravin’ gingerbread, so make sure to include that, too.

    “Under the Mistle ‘Faux” is a contest that’s gonna scratch my ego a bit. It’s a coloring contest of yours truly. Make me look better than I already do.

    To find out the specifics and rules and all that fun stuff, head over to this post here.

    Make sure to get your entries in by January 12th. I’ll see you when the voting begins.

    Waldo
