Wyrd Games - Halloween Newsletter

The latest releases and event news from Wyrd Games...

Wyrdos,

It's the season of autumn, and it's not long now until Halloween! The holiday of frights and of trick or treating is one our favorites, and we always try to make it a fun one in the office and our community. Take the chance to look over the newsletter to see what Wyrd can bring to your Halloween season.

This newsletter covers Iron Painter, the newest Chronicles, our autumn Malifaux campaign, the next two months of releases, and an overview of our various media offerings. Check it out!
The Iron Painter competition is well underway! The first round is complete with some amazing entries, and Round 2 is well underway!

Make sure to stop by 
the Iron Painter gallery on our forum and check out the works in progress. When the Round 2 is complete, our judges will rate the gold and silver tiers, and the community will get to vote on the bronze -- so come by and cast your vote!

More information on the Iron Painter competition can be found by clicking the image above.
We just released a brand new Wyrd Chronicles! This free ezine is available onDriveThruRPG and brings you the latest and greatest of Wyrd. This month announces the winner of the Lady Justice versus Nicodem fight, tells a troubling story about cats, and more! The breakdown can be found below.

Wyrd is currently hosting a global Malifaux event: Homefront. This event began in October and is running until the end of December, and it allows players to vote and submit results for the chance to shape the Malifaux universe!

Players are able to throw their support behind one of three smuggling operations that are sending supplies back to Earth. Who they support will have a strong influence on The Other Side, as the smugglers with the most support will eventually become powerful syndicates back on Earth.

Additionally, the Faction with the best win ratio at the end of the event will have one (or more) of their models turned into next year's Nightmare edition!

For full details on the event, click here.
The Get Gourd Carving Contest takes place between now and the end of October. To participate, you need to carve a gourd (like a pumpkin) with some Wyrd theme. Once you do, post a picture of it to Facebook or Twitter and tag us! As long as this is done before November, you're entered in.
