Adam and Joe are BACK with another episode. This time around we are joined by our good friend Josh Hankin, organizer extraordinaire of the Ultimate Team Showdown (UTS). We open up with some standard banter, but quickly dive into talking about the UTS and why its an event every Malifaux player around the world should attend. It’s located just outside of Boston, MA, USA and occurs July 13 – 15th. We then move on to a discussion about the Official Wyrd Malifaux app and our feelings on it in tournament play. Finally Josh and Adam go over the 5 round tournament they attended in Laurel, Maryland called Capital City Meltdown (CCM) and their journey in attempting to obtain the coveted Iron Scorpius for its inaugural year. Sit back and enjoy!

Adam, Arash, and Joe are back. We’ve even given you some sultry music to open up with before diving in (if you want to skip it go to the ~2:45 mark).

In this episode we open up with some general gaming and hobby achievements and recap Arash’s experience at the NoVA Open in Crystal City Virginia as well as hear from Adam about Live Free or Die Cheating in Manchester, New Hampshire. The end of the episode is a mix between upcoming events (some which may have already happened) as well as our off the cuff remarks regarding the state of the game and the future with Gaining Grounds 2018.

Joe and Adam are back with a new episode. In this episode we talk about upcoming events and what we’ve been up to in a very open format. We introduce a new addition to the show, Arash Afghahi (@Arash_Suri). Our main topic is a little bit all over the place, but we do discuss what Arash is planning for NoVA and how well we expect him to do. We also spend a fair amount of time lamenting what we think needs a few changes in the game. And last but not least we weave in a few comments about the Wave 5 models/upgrades. Hope you enjoy and as always look forward to any feedback.

Please excuse the slight audio change around the 21:10 mark we had a minor audio fix and it caused a change in some volumes. With that said, we hope you enjoy and remember when you don’t have time to cheat fate, listen to Cheated Fates Radio.

We Are Back! Today we have some guests visiting the show. Ian Nelson, Arash Afghahi, and Alex Schmid all stop by and chat with Joe and Adam about the State of US Malifaux Tournaments. We take a look back at the years of Malifaux 1/1.5 tournaments up until now, 4 books into Malifaux 2E (M2E). Has the tournament scene changed, grown, matured? You’ll have to take a listen to find out as we discuss formats (1-day vs. 2-day), painting, rules, clean play, etc. We do this all as everyone on the show prepares to head out to CaptainCon for what may be one of the (if not the) largest Malifaux tournaments in the US! We hope you enjoy some chatter and perspective from our panel.
