desilijic Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Dan, Will the strategies be posted before the con begins (like you did for Adepticon) or will they be announced before each round (like last year's Gen Con)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I believe the plan is to get them posted here in the next few weeks. The lovely Neverata is doing most of the event pre-planning and I plan to bug her about it starting next week. Figure I wouldn't start bugging her much until after her team GT was out of the way. Once I know more I will let you all know as well. Edit: Also updated the numbers for the events. ONLY 3 TICKETS LEFT FOR THE MASTERS! Most events have less then 10 tickets left.

nilus Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Updated the Ticket Number Masters of Malifaux has sold out! 3 other events have less then 5 tickets left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Updated numbers. Friday night is sold out as well. Thursday events are going fast as well. Still plenty of room in the Friday morning/afternoon event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy in Suit Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Good looks selling out both of the big events. I am excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Another one bites the dust, First into the Breach is sold out. A Wyrd encounter is down to 4 tickets. 16 tickets left for "One Way Ticket". I heard a rumor that a popular Henchman/lover of puppets/possibly the God Father of Malifaux Podcasting may be playing in this event. So that might offer some incentive for some people to sign up.

sharpobjects Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Any idea when the strategies for the Masters will be posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrarch Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'd like to see the strategies, too. It will allow for more thought before the events and less time needed for setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I am split on announcing strats prior to the event. On one hand, I can see the advantage. You are more likely to know what you're going to take in that round and you can think ahead a little bit. You can be a bit more calm and deliberative. On the other hand, I feel that the frantic 10-15 minute setup period after hearing the strat is part of what makes Malifaux, well, Malifaux, especially in tournaments. I kinda like the excitement and time pressure of not knowing the strat. Then once learning it, trying to craft the best crew and pick schemes based on that strat and the faction I am playing; all in a few minutes time. There is plenty of excitement in a tourney, and I know missing that setup phase won't ruin it for me, but I will feel that a little something was missing.

Very true, but the events at Gencon are already going to be running on a compressed time schedule so the preference is to get the strategies posted pre-con so people can be prepared and setup quicker. Which is why I am working on getting the info for you guys. Things are a bit crazy at Wyrd HQ right now but I am hoping to have more info to you guys in the next couple weeks.

nilus Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ticket numbers updated, a few more tickets sold for Friday morning. Also have not forgotten about your request and will followup with the guys and gals at Wyrd to find out what the status is on the rules packs and strategies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepalese_Ninja Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Was just wondering as I dont have a completely painted crew and I am coming over from the UK, what is the chances of having some casual games as I cant enter any of the official Wyrd events then. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say chances are very high, I personally am not in any events(conflict of interest and such) so I will be looking to get in as many casual games as I can.

nix Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I will be up for a fair number of Casual games as well. I know Dan and Mike will be looking for games as I do not believe they are participating in any Malifaux events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm going to be busy during all the Malifaux events except for Saturday's, so I may be looking for an odd game here or there in the evenings after the other events are done. I'm sure there will be people around to play. There were last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Updated the numbers. Just a reminder that there is a painting requirement for all Malifaux events. From Gaining Grounds Painting Rules In an Official Tournament, a player is required to have fully-painted and based models without any visible bare metal or primer. The paint job should look like the painter made an effort to stay within the lines and enhance the appearance of the model with their painting. Bases should not be bare.

Butters Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Do you know of the strats for the 2 story encounters are going to be the same, or is each one going to have different ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Do you know of the strats for the 2 story encounters are going to be the same, or is each one going to have different ones? I believe the plan is different ones. Just got word that we should be getting more official info on the events sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Looks like the miniatures gaming area will be a little further away from the dealers hall than it was last year. It will be at the back of the 'old' dealers hall (and closer to my hotel!). Still, its just a saunter over to the dealers hall though.

Malifauxcurr Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I remember hearing a while back that Wyrd might be running an "Iron Arena" type thing for casual games, where players could earn some kind of points for playing pick up games in the hall. Is that still a thing? I'm personally not into tournament play, but I will be bringing a boatload of my Malifaux stuff and look forward to getting some games in.

Bunny_Avenger Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 The iron arena thing would be cool. I'll have to get a few more minis ready just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
