Definitely going to play the Witch one this Thursday at my LGS! Without Doubt that is going to be awesome!

Also my only question is when the Carver in Scenario three is found, who controls it? Is it like the Apparitions in that is walks and attacks the nearest thing? or is it last player to activate a model?

[WEiRD sKeTCH]

Last player to activate a model.

[elril]

Last player to activate a model.

So whoever has more models gets another one? Barring companion effects etc. No proviso for going after the nearest model or anything?

[Peoples Champ]

It would be great if Wyrd could come up with a model for the Carver the artwork for it looks great. I would happily buy one.
Fun scenarios thanks.

[Alondir]

2nd that want model!!!

[Darkcloud]

3rd on the one above a model would be badass and that's the one thing I've waited for in this game. A psychotic scarecrow with a bowie knifeish knife

[meatwagon]

Yes thank you this is super cool. And also agree that a "Carver" model would be awesome.

[Sin City Snowman]

Add another to the list of people who'd like a carver mini!

[gunpowder saint]

Let's start a petition!

We Demand a Carver Model!
lol

[tajnisvet]

Great encounters. But I didn't quite understand the second VP. I'm getting VP for AT LEAST three dead apparations, is that right?

THere are no explanation on the first encounter how it is ingested, besides discarding token (although it is obvious it is card flip).

THere are few wording errors as well, but more for that tomorrow. I can't wait Halloween guys, and here it isn't even a holiday. But we have a major tournament for Malifaux here, as some form of celebration. All thanks to Malifaux.

[Prime]

Awesome scenarios!!

[tadaka]

Thanks for the awsome event workup. I would also love to see the scarecrow model.

[fishtank]

Want Carver Model (though I know of at least one non-wyrd model that might be a passable proxy, even if it would look tiny on a 50mm base. Check out Impact! miniatures' Samhaino pumpkinhead.)

Would like a somewhate clearer definition of how the Carver is controlled...the player who finds it controls it?

[poulpox]

Please carver model to add to our neverborns!!!!!!!

[Ratty]

For those that are wanting to play the Halloween Stories I have a new sheet of counters for you.

Oh and +1 for a Carver model.. obviously he wants to be a Spirit even if he is a Neverborn.

[marcuzi]

[Svenn]

Woohoo! More Story Encounters!

Ratty was nice enough to make some counter templates for the Halloween 2010 stuff (already! He works fast). They are available on the Tabletop Geeks downloads page now!

Yea, I don't like the activator of the last model either. Though I do like getting a full activation and not having to go after the closest model.

Actually I'd like to see something along the lines of a card flip during the closing phase to see who gets control. Either a flip-off, or a chart where the activator of the last model flips a card which determines what the Carver does/who controls him. This way you don't know if you get control or not until the end of the turn so cannot plan accordingly.

[jmp_mydog]

What is the text for unrelenting on the Carver's stats? The text abruptly ends with "may not..."

[tajnisvet]

Carver is one tough son of a pumpkin!
I mean, armor 2, reg 2 hard to wound 2, Terrifying→14... I'll try with 35 ss, but that is probably not nearly enough.
I'll appoint one guy to controll Carver, so we'll play threesome :) I'll tell you how this went...

Edit @ my dog> "attempt to disengage from melee."

[PhineusPhule]

add another vote to the Carver model want list. In the meantime I will be trying the scenario this week using Reaper's Gauntfield the Scarecrow mini.

[Bellygrub]

Loving The Carver mission. Hopefully I'll be able to try it out with my group this weekend.

Any chance you can produce a model and have it to me by...saaaay...tomorrow afternoon?

No?

Just thought I'd ask. :D

[nightgaunt98c]

The scenarios look like fun. I'm gonna have to try them out soon.

[WEiRD sKeTCH]

Quick thing that will be added to Strategy 3 (The Carver Strikes at Midnight).

This was accidentally cut off:


Activating The Carver
At the Start Close Phase, each player flips a card from the top of their Fate Deck. The player that Flips the higher value card may activate The Carver. A player may spend one Soulstone to re-Flip their card once. The Flip for control of The Carver may not be cheated.
The Carver is never considered to be a friendly model to any player that is controlling it.
If The Carver is attacked, the opponent of the model attacking The Carver makes all Flips and Cheats Fate for it.

[EricJ]

It's been added, just download the original link to get the fixed version. Sorry about that, designer error :(:(

[Shadowopal]

+1 For the Carver model. Also the Grinch (Wyrd name escapes me).

[joelmmorgan]

-1 for the Carver Model from me.....j/k

Thanks for some great scenarios. I am a new player and to see how cool the Wyrd community is really supports such a great game. Scenarios out and already someone is making helpful tokens. Keep up the great work everyone.

[Sholto]

These are excellent - thanks :D

I love the thought of Cassandra running around in Coopersmith Cemetary for the first two Turns, with the Apparitions unable to target her, awed by her celebrity ;)

Does "Restricted Schemes" mean you cannot take those?

[WEiRD sKeTCH]

Does "Restricted Schemes" mean you cannot take those?
Correct!

Glad you like the Strategies!

[Wyrrn]

Another +1 on a Carver model....anyone else notice he is Ht 3 ? Could be an impressive model, and new Halloween scenarios could be written for him each year. Just a thought.

[Mach_5]

Love the scenarios! Carver is a scary dude, I don't look forward to that mission in the upcoming 25ss halloween tourney I'll be playing in.

Couple of points/questions regarding scenario 1:


1- It doesn't say, but I assume you must be in base contact with the Brew Component Token in order to (1) Interact with it (it is specified as such for the Witch but not the Component Token)

2- Is there a minimum distance the Component Token must be placed from a deployment zone?

3- It doesn't say, but I assume you must flip to determine what component you find when you (1) Interact with the Component Token, so that if the result of the flip is anything but a Joker you will know what effect you will recieve when ingesting it, and if the flip is a joker then you don't recieve any token and instead suffer Poison 2.

[Mach_5]

Also, in the Carver scenario, does "The Carver Strikes" result count for +1 VP for discovering the Carver? Does it matter if the Carver disappears after the strike due to no other models being present in the building?

[mattraptor]

It would be great if Wyrd could come up with a model for the Carver the artwork for it looks great. I would happily buy one.
Fun scenarios thanks.

Not like your busy enough as it is but releasing special edition models for Halloween and Christmas encounters would be awesome! I would look forward to buying a Halloween mini in September 2011 and would expect to see a few fly off the shelves for a Halloween release date.

[daemonkin]

The Carver would be an awesome model.

+1 for me. Really does show that the Wyrd team are devoted to the game, releasing periodic story encounters to enhance the game. Very well done.

D.

what happens if you headshot, decapitate or slit jugular on the carver?

can the opponent discard to save it?

Yes.

[HopelessHeretic]

when will the encounters for the greatest holiday of the year be out. Cause I bet Daylight saving gets pretty insane in Malifaux. Can't wait 'til the seventh.
