Popular Post Justin Posted August 9, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hey all, I have had an amazing time working and volunteering with Wyrd and their many projects over the years. It is a company I really love and I'm proud of the work I've done with them. However, I am leaving to seek other exciting opportunities. I want all of you to know that I am still on very good terms with Wyrd and all of its staff. Very few people get to live the dream of making games for a living, so I definitely owe thanks to Nathan, Eric, Casey, and Vickey for allowing me the opportunity to spend time with this amazing company. Thanks, guys! Aaron, Mason, and Lindsey are all great people and great designers, and I really look forward to where they take Wyrd in the future. I'll miss all of you (I'll even forgive Mason for being a vulture). And myself and anyone else who enjoys actually being able to find Wyrd products at their store owes a big thanks to Kelly, Karen and all of the warehouse team who work so hard behind the scenes to make it all happen. Companies are nothing but a group of people with some common goals, and Wyrd has and always will be one of the best because it has some of the best people I've met. I also have to say thank you to our wonderful players and community. On the whole, the Malifaux community is one of the most open, supporting gaming communities I've ever seen. You are the reason Wyrd keeps going, and it is always exciting to get on the forums and see people talking about the things we've made, or even just chatting and making friends. Gaming is all about community, and Wyrd has an amazing one thanks to all of you. I won't be disappearing forever. After a few month hiatus from the forums (I've been eating, breathing, and sleeping Malifaux for the past few years - I need a break!) I fully intend to keep on posting, participating, and playing the game. I started out as an enthusiastic customer and being able to experience Malifaux again as a player who can just relax and enjoy the game is one of the things I'm most looking forward to. Aaron will be taking over lead Malifaux design. He has already designed many of the models you know and love (including Reva and her crew in the most recent book - which is the new Crew which has me the most personally excited to play) so the game is in competent hands. I look forward to seeing what he and the team come up with! 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You will be missed! Thanks for everything you've done for me, personally, and for the company. I can't wait to see what you do next and to totally try to show you up! Justin will be with us a bit longer yet, so get your time with him now. And on a related note to the community... expect a job posting for a certain opening in the coming days! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordZombie Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You will be missed, good sir, but everyone has to move on to bigger and brighter things. Thanks for all you have done for Wyrd and for proving that anyone can be part of the Wyrd team if you try hard enough. Thanks for the many chances at joining the playtest groups, it was almost like working for Wyrd. Enjoy your break and welcome back to being on the other side of the game. One last thing.... Got it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilightmikasa Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Does that mean we'll see you around more often? Now I'm sad that I can't squeeze you for secrets. RJ and I have been fortunate to be able to know you and be able to play games with you. Wherever you go, good luck! Fyi, I'm doing a demo on Saturday if you are not busy and can stop by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneLittleThunder Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Safe travels and much success wherever you land! I started Malifaux with M2E, so I can't speak to what it was like before, but I can tell you that I've always felt like the game has been in good hands. That said, Aaron is okay...I guess. I'm sure Wyrd and the fans will be fine, and I'm sure you'll be a success wherever you go next. Thanks for everything! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetorDragoon Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks for your great work and the enjoyable betas. Really a shame to see you go, but sometimes decisions have to be made. I hope you will enjoy your new opportunities and let me know when you find one! I am interested in seeing what continues from here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy in Suit Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I hope whatever is next is exciting and fulfilling, but I bet it's hard to top Wyrd! I enjoyed our brief chats at NOVA open as well as taking part in your meticulous playtests. I've also reached that point in life when its time to start settling down and accepting mediocrity, so am well prepared for Aaron taking over the reins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durza Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Good luck Justin, thanks for everything you've done, you've done a great job with the game and it's sad to see you go. I'm glad I got to meet you at Gencon. Hmm... does this mean I have to redirect my constant stream of emails whining about everything to Aaron? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
