Wyrd Games - March Newsletter

All the upcoming releases from Wyrd Games...
-------------------

Wyrdos,

We just returned from the GAMA trade show in Reno, Nevada. We had a chance to talk to a lot of retailers about our products both new and old, and we got some great feedback from stores. Now, we're about to head to Adepticon. We love connecting with all the different gamers at Adepticon, and we look forward to seeing you there!

This month's newsletter covers the global Through the Breach campaign, the Easter Sale, an upcoming painting contest, and more!

We are excited that our newest global campaign, The Obsidian Gate, has begun! This campaign is for the Through the Breach tabletop RPG, and it requires no experience or purchases to play. If you love Through the Breach or have been considering trying it out, please consider signing up by clicking on the image above.

This campaign will last for 4 gameplay sessions and will use pregenerated characters. Sessions are released every 3 weeks, but GMs have some additional time to get them in. Sign-ups for the event last until April 29th, so there's plenty of time to get your schedule sorted.

Games that are reported have the ability to shape the future of the Malifaux universe, in addition to helping decide which of the characters gets turned into an Adjunct model for The Other Side!

We look forward to hearing about your games!

We have another fun Easter Sale coming up this year! This sale will last from March 27th until April 3rd, and it will only be available on our webstore.

This sale will feature 3 new special edition models, a giveaway if you reach $100 or more, and almost our entire back catalog of special editions. Check out some of the details below!

More information on the sale will be available in the coming week.

These two special edition Viktoria models have been getting into the Easter spirit and will be available in metal for $35.

This special edition Slop Hauler is here to paint up some happy Bayou scenes! This miniature is available in metal for only $25.

If you spend $100 or more (before taxes and shipping), you will receive a free special edition Lazarus model with your order!

This mini is also available through the Guild Store for Guilders for those who are interested.

More information on the sale will be available in the coming week, so stay tuned!

Fangs, tails, claws, or wings - all of this helps qualify your model to be a star of the Creature Feature. The creatures of the world demand their time to shine! Your miniature must be distinctly NOT humanoid. This means animals, supernatural beasts, or anything that is clearly not humanoid. This does not include clearly humanoid monsters such as vampires, elves, dwarves, or cyborgs. Bring out your most fearsome beasts for this competition!

The Creature Feature painting contest is starting at the beginning of April! Click the image above for more information.

We are happy to let you know that we just released an updated French translation of the Malifaux second edition core book! This was translated by ALC Studio with assistance from Gilles Chassignol (French translation and editor), Jorge Loste Campos (layout), and Jean Baptiste Aymes (French community).

You can download this translation on DriveThruRPG!

Wyrd has a variety of media available for free to everyone.

Every Wednesday a new wallpaper is available on our website for Wallpaper Wednesday. There is a large collection of Malifaux options available, as well as a variety of options for some of our other games.
We have a free ezine available, Wyrd Chronicles. The Chronicles have stories, hobby articles, RPG adventures, and more! Be sure to check out this magazine, currently available on DriveThruRPG.
Most Mondays we release a look at something upcoming in our Monday Preview. These are a great opportunity to see what Wyrd is working on and what's coming down the pipeline. We have a lot of things to show off, so check back every Monday!
On Fridays we try to show off previews for the upcoming The Other Sideminiatures game.
Every other Thursday we release a free podcast called the Tales of Malifauxas part of our Breachside Broadcast. This podcast goes through the Malifaux fiction one story at a time, starting all the way back with the first book in first edition. It's a great way to catch up on our old stories or go through them again.

As we mentioned, we'll be at Adepticon this week. A convention like Adepticon requires quite a bit of coordination and Wyrdpower to get it all working, and so it often relies on volunteers from the community to ensure that everything goes according to plan.

If you'd be interested in volunteering for Wyrd, we're still looking for assistance for Origins and for GenCon. Click on the links to find out more about the opportunities we have and how you can help out.

We're looking forward to the rest of March and beyond, so stick with us for more games in the months to come!
