October – FEAST

October 20th, 2012

Entry Fee: 3 canned goods*

*For simplicity sake we will refer to canned goods. This encompasses non-perishable food items acceptable to the food bank. Alternately, $1 will be an acceptable substitute for a single canned good. For larger items, the Henchman in charge will determine the approximate value/worth (ie. 2 or more cans.)

Pool Based Tournament:

Each player will create a list of models able to be hired, not exceeding 35 points. They will also be able to identify up to two Masters (or Henchmen being played as a Master) that they plan on using. If the player identified one Master and one Henchman, they will not be able to hire the Henchmen using the Master unless that Henchman is also included in their 35 point list. (Note: Avatars must be included in this list for a cost of 2 points.)

-Kris lists his two masters as Seamus and Molly. He cannot use Molly in a Seamus lead crew unless he also lists her in his 35 point Hiring Pool.

Non-unique models may be listed more than once. For every individual model you intend to hire, you need to have that many model(s) listed in your Hiring Pool.

- Cindi wants to play the Sonnia Box, she will need to have in her Hiring Pool- Samuel Hopkins, and three (3) witchling stalkers.

Summoned models must be listed in your list, but only once, no matter how many you succeed in summoning. Models that can be summoned but have no soul stone cost must still be listed.

- Phil is playing Nicodem and plans to summon punk zombies during play, but does not plan to start with any. He will still need to list at least one (1) punk zombie, even though there may be any number that are in play due to being summoned.

From this 35 Point Hiring Pool, each player will create a 25 point list to compete with each round.

It is in the nature of Malifaux to allow players to Cheat fate, and it is the nature of this event to gather food for the food bank. So what better way to combine the two than to allow players to “BUY” Cheats?

“Breaking the Rules”

At any point during a game, a player may donate canned goods to create an in-game effect. These canned goods are in addition to any canned goods that were donated for the registration fee. The following are the in-game effects that are generated by extra donations:

You may donate 1 canned good to:

1. Add +1 to your initiative flip per can donated. Secretly decide a number of cans to donate and after your opponent decides how many cans to donate reveal the total bonus amount and then flip for initiative.

2. Re-flip 1 of your duel flips*. Each subsequent time you break this rule, whether it’s for the same flip or a different flip, the cost to break this rule doubles.

-For example the 1st re-flip = 1 can, 2nd re-flip = 2 cans, 3rd re-flip = 4 cans, etc… The cost resets back to 1 can at the start of your next activation. You must use this before you cheat from your hand or use a soulstone (if the model has Use Soulstone).

3. Force your opponent to re-flip 1 of his/her flips*. Each subsequent time you break this rule, whether it’s for the same flip or a different flip, the cost to break this rule doubles

-For example the 1st re-flip = 1 can, 2nd re-flip = 2 cans, 3rd re-flip = 4 cans, etc… The cost resets back to 1 can at the start of your opponent’s next activation. You must use this before your opponent cheats from his/her hand or uses a soulstone (if the model has Use Soulstone).

4. Add an additional soulstone to your initial pool for hiring. This is secretly determined prior before the hire crew step and you and your opponent simultaneously reveal your totals at the Hire Crew step. This increase is for a single game only.

* The exception to this is of course the Black Joker. If you flip the Black Joker, Fate continues to frown upon you no matter how much good Karma you have.

You may donate 3 cans to:

1. Shake effects on your Master or Henchman. Effects that can be shaken are slow, paralyzed, burn, poison, etc… This can only be used once per turn per Master or Henchmen.

2. Give your Master or Henchman (+1) General AP, this is special and will stack with the Fast ability. This can only be used once per turn.

3. Generate 1 free focused attack. Each subsequent time you break this rule per turn (not just activation) the cost to break this rule doubles. The cost resets back to 3 cans at the start of your next turn.

4. Measure the distance between any 2 models on the board at any time.

You may donate 10 cans to:

1. Give 1 non-unique minion +1 Cb, Df, and Wp to the stat line for the duration of the game. This can only be used once per game and does not stack with the following Cheat.

2. Give 1 non-unique minion +2 to Cb, Df or Wp to the stat line for the duration of the game. This can only be used once per game and does not stack with the previous Cheat.

3. Prior to the starting initiative flip, designate one of your minions to have terrifying. This can only be used once per game.

You may donate 25 cans to:

1. Start with your Master’s Avatar form. This is per game.

2. Hire and attach an in faction totem your master would not otherwise be able to. This is per game.

You may donate 50 cans to:

1. Take one out-of-faction minion or henchman. This model counts as a friendly, in-faction model that ignores HIRING RESTRICTIONS. This model is added to your Hiring Pool for the duration of the tournament and does not count against the 35 point limit.

Suggested Food Items for donation:

Tuna Mac & Cheese Chili Peanut Butter

Cereals Boxed Dinners Ravioli Soups & Ramen

Canned veggies/Fruits
