nilus Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 It seems that this week is the official start of planning for Adepticon 2012. So who out there is gonna come up my way to get some Malifaux playing in? For those wondering the details What: AdeptiCon 2012! Ten Year Anniversary! When: April 19th – 22nd, 2012 Where: Westin Lombard Yorktown Center (Lombard, Illinois) As far as Malifaux events go, here some hints in the form of questions as to the events we got planned Do you like Cake? Do you play well with others? Are you good enough to qualify? Do you like Puppets? We literally have the entire weekend packed with events including a weekend long open play league and pickup games and demos all over the place.

trichloro Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I can't wait, was there last year and will be there this year. Please tell me there will be a brawl event. Had a good time with it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersoxette Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 We're in! (of course you knew that already *grin*) Tom will probably tend towards the judging, playing if he can... I can demo/judge/run around/get food/cake taste test/babysit/be entertainment as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othree Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Should be there again. Hopefully we can get some games in before hand. I have 4 crews now and the last time I played was when Pipeline was teaching us last Adepticon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I can't wait, was there last year and will be there this year. Please tell me there will be a brawl event. Had a good time with it last year. Actually I think instead of a Brawl we are going to try a team tournament this year. Still working out the details though.

nilus Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Rules packets will be put together in the next month or so but here are the basics for the Team tournament. These are subject to change Each team has two players Each player drafts a 25 stone crew. Each teams' pair of masters must be brawl compatible. Rarity is handled per crew(so both lists could have the same Rare 1 model). Unique models are considered unique across the team(So in both of a teams crews there can be only one of any unique model) Each player will have there own separate soul stone cache(Scrap limit of 8 stones per crew) and cards. About the only other thing that we had to work out early is how activations and initiative works. Each round, each team picks one player to flip initiative for the team. The winning team gets index cards with the number 1 and 3 on it. The losing team gets 2 and 4. Each teammate then chooses a number and everyone activates in that order for the entire round. The tournament will used fixed Shared strategies and each player will be allowed to take one scheme(so each team will have two schemes). We are going to score this using Disparity scoring. There are a few more minor rules we need to think about but that is the gist. Things can still change as we do more testing. My December tourney is going to be a test run of the full rules.

trichloro Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Thanks for the info. For the team tournament, Brawl compatible, does that mean you can take Kirai and the Dreamer, or Zoridia and Ophellia together? Also, for the cake tournament, how many people are needed for the team? or is it individual? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 No need for a team for the Cake Match, not sure if it will be team related or individual. Its mostly just for fun. Just show up with a crew and some cake. Correct on Brawl Compatible. If two masters can work with each other in a Brawl then you can use them together in the team tourney. Note that you are not actually hiring a 50 stone brawl crew. You are hiring two separate 25 stone scrap crews(with some special rules regarding unique models and your teammates master) so there is possibly more of a incentive to see a Kirai/Dreamer team since the Dreamer player would not be restricted to just hiring spirits like they would in a standard brawl. At least thats how it stands at the moment. We are still testing rules and I have a test tourney(and I plan to see if some other Henchman can run some primers as well early next year) to see if we see any major issues. Honestly the Kirai/Dreamer combo is about the only one I am worried about. I need to look over there rules and then get some testing done to see what happens.

Mydnight Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Adepticon is going to be so much fun! Last year's Adepticon saw me faced with the dissapointment of another War Game in the same room as Adepticon, while looking on and checking things out, talking to people, and so on (having picked up my rulebook and Nico box hours before leaving for Adepticon). I can't wait! And I'll sleep this time before playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Just had the first official planning meeting for the year Registration should start up around Halloween. We are looking at a some cool participation prizes for the events. If there are people out there good at making terrain who would like to volunteer time to creating a table or two please contact me.

Necrarch Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi, I see the Adepticon site has posted preliminary schedules for many events but no Malifaux. We should have our events up there too. Who do we need to harass to get the events posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrarch Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Whoops. Now I see some events in the Open Gaming section. However, the links to the events are broken. We should get a separate Malifaux section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Not sure where you are looking, But here are the events http://cart.adepticon.org/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=9&zenid=2f0b6b017f67228c3df78c8b4bbeea7e There are some open play and demo events as well that are not listed since they don't require registration.

nilus Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Whoops. Now I see some events in the Open Gaming section. However, the links to the events are broken. We should get a separate Malifaux section. Ah I see where you are looking. Yeah none of the links work yet. Also the rules are in they just have not been posted to the site. Edit: Bugged Matt, rules will be up on Monday and our little game will have its own section. I will note that original we had more events going then Privateer Press but now it looks like they are beating us. But technically three of our tournaments show up as one event. Plus our big open play event is not listed yet since we are still working out the details. Edited October 28, 2011 by nilus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Okay rules are now up. Check them out and bug me if you have any questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
