Steam Powered Scoundrels: A Malifaux Podcast

Friday Night Faux-Down - 2/13/21 - Third Storey Combat

We got'em folks! Craig Floors fell for the ol' 'Trail of Almond Joys' trick and got himself locked in Roman's basement. While we wait for the ransom money, we decided to record a Friday Night Faux-Down! Sadly, we lost about 30 minutes of audio, but because of this we got him to promise to record ANOTHER episode. As usual, we have a blast. Enjoy!
Topics:
1. What RPG would you most like to run for your fellow podcasters in this episode?2. What's your OTP? If you've answered this before, what would be your secondary couple?3. What is the needlessly divisive food choice in Malifaux a la “pineapple on pizza” and what is the “correct answer”?4. You grow so famous from podcasting, Hollywood offers to let you make a low-budget Malifaux movie that’s really just a ripoff of a different terrible franchise. What low budget Malifaux theme movie rip off remake do you make? What’s your egotistical cameo in said movie?5. Wyrd names a mildly interesting Malifaux landmark after you of your own design. What is it?6. A character from the last (non-Malifaux) book you read or show you watched is being made into a Malifaux character. What faction/keyword are they in, and what do they do?7. Make up a title for the opening song of Malifaux: The Musical?

Steam Powered Scoundrels Episode 29: Free Range Executioners

So now we have an 8th faction, but that faction is missing a few dozen models to bring them up to the same model count as its 7 siblings. Thank goodness you have the Steam Powered Scoundrels, because now Wyrd doesn't have to waste time and brainpower coming up with new models for the faction. We're doing it for them. You're welcome. Join Doug, Victoria, Nate, Roman, and DZ for a good time.

Steam Powered Scoundrels Episode 27 - Haze the New Guys

Doug has earned his freedom after successfully challenging Roman to what he calls 'Baby Oil Thunderdome', just in time to celebrate the introduction of our new meta overlords, the Explorers Society! We thought we'd do another 'public service' to the community. Now, the other podcasts probably have the 'how to play Explorers' covered, so we thought we'd jump the gun and go right into 'ow to BEAT the Explorers. We got some very smart individuals on with deep insight into the various new masters and their playstyle. Join Roman, Rob, Chase, John, and hanger-on Doug as we teach you how to fight the Teal Terrors.
