WARNING! We talk about adult things in this episode! Not for the ears of the innocent!
Hey I'm JUST getting this in an hour before Christmas (so this still qualifies as a holiday episode). We welcome the return of Victoria, Nate, and Roman, as well as say hi to Eli our newest stooge. It's our typical Scoundrel shenanigans with a few festive topics tossed in. Enjoy!JOIN OUR DISCORD - https://discord.gg/3eZh5MH
Topics Tonight:1. Which characters would make for the best after school cartoons?
2. All eight factions decide that for 24 hours they'd declare a 'Christmas Truce'. What characters do you most want to see have a story about them interacting during the truce?
3. Every faction has a group chat/discord server. Who is the shitposter?
4. Design a holiday-themed crew box
5. What is now the biggest thing you want addressed in the fluff?
6. Say something nice about a faction/master you hate
7. Secret Santa?

Welcome to possibly the most cursed episode we've ever produced. It took us FOREVER to finally finish this one. This is our second faction primer, this time we head to the Bayou. This episode is going over the general themes, both story-wise and gameplay-wise, of each keword and model in the faction. We hope to provide a little help to those looking for a place to start when they decide to play the game.

Instead of bringing 1st and 2nd place to the table, I'm bringing the Wooden Spoon and Honorary Wooden Spoon. Join Doug, Dave, and new guy Eric as they cover what they played and what they learned at One Fallow Night.Tournament Stats: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i-JAsg-99rr0pUb3AGqX92bnnQRTAbaTJUnXm2iFuYw/edit?usp=sharingJoin our Discord!: https://discord.gg/YqjZWX

Your hosts for this episode are Doug, Victoria, Brien, and Roman.
In this episode we cover everyone's Malifaux Experience at MuseCon 2019 (being beaten to the punch by that dastardly Kyle Stones). We also discuss a few things we currently find powerful in M3E, as well as rules questions that came up during the con and how Kyle and Doug ruled them.
THEN we get to go over the brand new shiny teal 8th faction for Malifaux, and our wonderful ideas for inclusions in the roster (basically Doug monologues for 20 minutes).
I'm the TO, I demand you have fun listening to this.

Hey! We're trying out YET ANOTHER FORMAT! This time we give actual game play a try, and the results were...interesting. For Best Laid Plains, two players will generate a game of M3E and declare Faction and Master. Each will then go over their crews, general strategy and scheme options, and how they plan on scoring and dealing with their opponent. Then, each player will give a recap of each turn as the game progresses. Finally, they will come together at the end of the game and discuss the whole thing. PLEASE Give us feedback as to whether or not you like this format! CONVINCE US TO KEEP GOING IF YOU LIKE IT.I do apologize for the noise. Due to the timing my daughter was causing some noise in the background.Deployment: FlankStrategy: Plant ExplosivesSchemes: Detonate the Charges, Search the Ruins, Dig Their Graves, Take Prisoner, and OutflankDoug - M&SUToni Ironsides + Magical TrainingMouseThe CaptainAmina NaiduNeil HenryUnion MinerSoulstone Miner + Magical TrainingBrien - FriekorpsLeopold Von SchillSteam TrunkHannah LovelaceArik SchoettmerFreikorps Scout + Soldier for HireFreikorps EngineerFreikorpsmann

Here we go kids. More short topics for us to make weird ideas from. I dragged Dave away from his pregnant wife and I also dragged Brien away from...Kyle Bode...just to entertain you. So be entertained. I demand it.
Topics this episode:
Design a ‘minor faction’
Design-a-deck
Name a cool thing from TTB you want to see in Malifaux
What myth, legend, or fairytale we desperately need in Malifaux?
Design a K-Pop supergroup from a faction.

Your hosts for this episode are Doug, Brien, and Roman (Victoria was feeling sick!).Today we go over why Doug sucks at maintaining the podcast, the official end of the beta, a talk on the state of A Wyrd Place, the new boxart, the new faction reveal, and the revealed fluff books.
And remember kids, find us on Facebook or comment here for anything you want us to talk about or even more reasons why Brien is the worst.
