Wyrd Games - October Newsletter

The many things going on at Wyrd Games this month...
------------------
Wyrdos,

With ramping up the release of the Other Side, chugging away at the Malifaux Third Edition beta, and trying to keep Waldo from destroying the design room, we’ve had a busy last few months. But there’s no sign of us (or Waldo) stopping any time soon.

In this month's newsletter, we're covering The Other Side's Kickstarter fulfillment, reopening the M3E beta, releasing the latest issue of Chronicles, checking in on Iron Painter's progress, looking at the latest digital releases for Through the Breach, and more. 
The time has come. Thanks to Adeodatos opening up a few handy portals, The Other Side is reaching doorsteps. It's fantastic to see the social media posts of packages arriving and models already being painted. We're just as excited about getting them on the table as all of you are!

If you didn't get the chance to Kickstart The Other Side, you'll have the chance to get your hands on Allegiance boxes shortly. Retail shipments will begin very soon. In the meantime, make sure to check out the short story that takes place just after the battle of London broke, either on our website or in this month's Chronicles. 
The Malifaux Third Edition beta has been moving along swimmingly. Thanks to our dedicated playtesters who are providing regular battle reports and feedback, we've made tremendous progress. There's still some more work to be done, though, and we want to make sure that your thoughts are heard.

With that, we have re-opened the beta signups. If you didn't have the opportunity to apply last time, now's your chance. Make your way to the application page now! 
In this month's Chronicles, things get a little spooky. 
  • Messing with Malifaux: Take a trip down memory lane and revisit some old favorites in M2E!
  • Smilin's Easier Than Frownin': Two thieves find themselves caught within the crosshairs in their latest heist job. 
  • Tricks N' Treats: Celebrate Halloween with a Waldo pumpkin stencil and a Wyrd coloring page.
  • Community Highlights: Interested in trying out a tournament? Here are some tips and tricks to get you started before the first round begins. 
  • Zepplin Transcripts from Beyond the Breach: A brief glimpse into the King's Empire after the battle of London broke.
  • Old Bones: A Bultungin reawakens, only to find that the bones of those she loved are missing from their graves. 
  • Earthside Dossiers: Take a deep dive into the Cult of the Burning Man's Commanders, Adeodatos and Fenton Brahms.
You can find the latest issue of Chronicles for the low cost of FREE on DriveThruRPG!
Iron Painter is in full swing. We are in the process of wrapping up the third round as this newsletter is being written, and have seen a ton of excellent pieces in each round. This last round was particularly spectacular. There are still two more rounds to go, and we can't wait to see what you all come up within each category. 

If you'd like to see the submissions thus far, stop by the forums and check out the Iron Painter 2018 Gallery!
Don't be an angry curmudgeon like the guy in the image above. We've got even more good news in store. Three new additions to Through the Breach have been released on DriveThruRPG! You can find The Badlands InvitationalAbove the Law, and Northern Sedition in PDF format by clicking their links.

Wyrd Games - August Newsletter

Wyrd Games August newsletter...
------------------------
Wyrdos,

We're back from another great Gen Con, and thanks to our incredible volunteers, it might have been our best year yet. If you didn't make it to the show, don't worry - we've got you covered.

In this month's newsletter, we're going over what made this year's Gen Con great, Iron Painter (our annual painting competition), the latest Chronicles issue, and... (drumroll, please) our closed beta! Keep scrolling down to find out more.
We had a lot of great stuff to talk about at this year's Gen Con. We showed off more of The Other Side's models (the Gorysche has some serious board presence), what The Other Side's boxes look like, and of course, gave a glimpse of Malifaux Third Edition.

Concerns were alleviated, worries were absolved, and the hype skyrocketed. Players got an exclusive look at some new sculpts for both Marcus' and Rasputina's crews, such as the Order Initiates, Wendigo, and Snowstorm. The fantastic updated stat cards were also on the table, gathering collective "ooooh's" and "aaahhh's" from curious passersby.

But in Gen Con tradition, as soon as we got back from the big event, we started planning for the next one. There's just too much awesome stuff that we're working on behind closed doors to talk about in one con! 
Here at Wyrd, we love our painting competitions. We started the year off with Creature Feature, then cleaned our palette for Total Testosterone, and then we just put the last touches with Femme Fatale. But the year's not over, and neither are we.

Our big annual competition, the Iron Painter, is now open for sign-ups, and Round One will begin August 20th. It's time to wash your brushes, pick up some flock, and prep your paint stations, because this year is going to be just as grueling as the last. We can't wait to see how creative our amazing community is with a paint brush.
 
For this month's issue of Chronicles, we go back to see what our friends Breachside have been up to since we last visited. 
  • Starting Malifaux on a Budget – Gremlins: Getting ready for a bayou hoedown? The best advice for throwing together your Gremlin crew can be found right here!
  • Soulstones in the Rough: Shake the dust off of your less used models and get ready to bring some extra diversity to your next game.
  • Augments & Add-ons – The Widow Weaver: Introduce a new predator who stalks the web of Fate to your Through the Breach campaign.
  • The Sundial: When you mess with time, you might find that Time messes back.
  • Community Highlights - Malifaux Around the World: Learn a little more about Malifaux communities from different places around the world.
  • It’s a Dirty Job…: A Death Marshal’s job gets tougher as he has to explore the Sewers underneath Malifaux.
You can find the latest issue of Chronicles for the low cost of FREE on DriveThruRPG!
Since we announced Malifaux Third Edition, there's been a ton of speculation of what's being changed, updated, removed, added, and so on. We haven't talked about a whole lot of specifics just yet, but we're very close to revealing what's behind the curtain.

Sign-ups for the closed beta are available now, but we are only accepting requests up through the 17th of August. If you want to have a part in testing your favorite models, make sure to head your way there and fill out the form. We'll be launching the closed beta on August 20th, so you'd better sign up soon!
