Mike3838 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome to Hobbytime @ Halifaux, in association with the Pennine Raiders Gaming Club. I wanted to test out a new format for an event - something a bit more free-form and casual than the standard competitive tournament. The idea is essentially for people to: 1) Get a full day of action packed Malifaux gaming 2) Have the opportunity to play games against people outside their usual club circles Standard encounters, story encounters, whatever you fancy - there'll be plenty of tables and scenery provided and ready to go. Think of it like a club night at your local, but 100% Wyrd and with guaranteed fresh opponents. There'll be no scoring and no winners, but hopefully a lot of fun and probably a raffle prize or two. I'll be running Malifaux demos all day for anyone who wants familiarising with the rules before they dive in, and there should be plenty of experienced players about to talk tactics and give advice. I'm aiming to get a hobby/painting table set up for in-between games, and http://www.miniature-painting-lessons.co.uk/ should hopefully be on hand with a drop-in hobby clinic to offer a bit of painting and advice to get you up to the next level. I'm thinking 16 people will be needed to make this worthwhile. With any luck I'll be able to rustle up a decent West Yorkshire contingent... Who fancies coming up/down/across to face us?Where?

Tigerstyle Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 This sounds awesome, a great idea, especially is Boyzie is going to be there giving painting tips. I don't think I'm going to be able to make it across though as it's a bit near other stuff I've got booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I should be able to make this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praetoriian Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Morning, aslong as the missus lets me (as it is her birthday weekend) I am totally up for this, can you put me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriltic Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sounds like it could be a laugh. I'm certainly up for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhay Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just to confirm should be good for this now I've checked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhay Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't suppose anyone would be able to pick me up from the train station in Halifax as I am going to be training it over! or is it easy to get to walking? edit: nvm, it is more economical to actually hire a car!

Mike3838 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Pretty sure a lift can be arranged - it's only a 5 minute drive. The walk isn't far, but it's *severely* uphill. Drop me a message on twitter if you think you'll need picking up and we'll sort something out. I appreciate Sunday trains can be inconvenient time-wise, so if anyone's having difficulties drop me a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhay Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks Mike. For me coming from Manchester there is not actually a train that will get me there before 11am. So I will just hire a car. It is actually the same price (slightly more) than getting the train anyway and much more convenient! So all is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbungle Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi Mike Can you put me and mate down as strong maybes (wifes permitting) Dave Wilkinson Dave Waye May convince another one for some demos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deValmont Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Aye, put me down as well. Might as well bite the bullet and see quite how far down the (albeit non-competitive) ranking I end up. Oh, and I'm Richard deValmont, for the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythicFOX Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'd like to play some 50ss games, but happy to play down to 40. Should have my Kaeris crew ready to go by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbungle Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Been playing a lot of 40 just to try and get us up to speed with m2e. We can play a game in an evening now Can give 50 a go happily.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docbungle Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm up for anything. I have been playing Lilith only but fancy trying out neverborn Lucius or my Hamelin crew Playing Somer mainly although could try Ophelia. Will try any Gremlin master as long as people not bothered by proxies (eg Somer is master A/B/C if need be). Still waiting on my Brewmaster Wyrd Would be interested in looking at 10T stuff if people have it, looking at maybe expanding.. MAYBE.......
