doctorlucky Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi! I've attended Gen Con the last couple of years and really like what Wyrd has put out each time. I finally ordered a few sets that I thought I would like to play and that friends would enjoy. I've completed painting and assembling one set (http://wyrd-games.net/community/topic/98495-doctor-lucky-paints-1st-crew-done/) and will be getting the other two done by Gen Con. So how does it work? Are things mainly event based (with tickets and such) or is it set up as more of a "come and play with us" in the miniatures room. Last year I watched a couple guys play and they were nice enough to explain the game as they pummeled each other. I'm thinking I remember a "Learn Malifaux" type event and I will sign up for that, but I guess I am asking if the miniatures area is newb friendly or more competitive? My local store doesn't run Malifaux and I'd like to learn from players than just the rule book and an event or two, but I wouldn't want to show up and ruin someone's afternoon by not knowing the subtle strategies and nuances well enough to play a great game. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droachmega Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I know for sure that there are scheduled events, and I am pretty sure they had some space in the open gaming area last year for pick up games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrouchingMoose Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I cant speak for 2012 and eariler, but last year was very much a come and play with us type thing. There was at least one scheduled event going on each night as I remember it, but even so there was still room for people to play games that weren't part of the event.

Omenbringer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Wyrd usually has both ticketed events and free events. The ticketed events will typically be the Tournaments, long demos and the "Speed Dating" type events. They do also usually have an open gaming area as well. That will be free and as I recall had an achievement sheet that went with it. Sadly this will be the first year I wont be able to attend (Stupid Annual Training) in the last 4 but I believe Wyrd will have a larger footprint this year (they have grown each year). At any rate check out the GenCon events listing to see what is available and be sure to buy quick as the ticketed events tend to go rather quickly.

JimTullis Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Doctor Lucky, I would suggest that you buy the ticket NMN1459401 "Malifaux Achievement League". It lets you get points for playing games versus as many different opponents as you can fit in, as well as points for meeting the Wyrd Employees and wearing a costume. Great Fun can be had with this one, and it's not a tournament, so there are no set times or opponents. P.S. Also, watch your sight lines, and don't get caught alone in a room somewhere. Lest someone feed you some Bad Cream or whack you with the Shoe Spoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclucas Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Doctor Lucky, I'm new and attending as well. I'd be happy to stumble through a few Achievement League games with you. Regards, Reborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
