Steam Powered Scoundrels: A Malifaux Podcast

We finally have another Best Laid Plans for you all! Scott from Breachburnt brings Nephilim against Jim from The Other Coast's Apex crew. Both of them have played few to no games with these keywords, giving us a great view into some thoughts on how to approach your first games with a new keyword.

The Scoundrels found a new friend, a one Dek of Corner Case. Dek wanted to talk about his ideas for Nightmare boxes, so we obliged him. Join Doug, Vic, Roman, Ryan, Jeffrey, and Dek as we give our terrible ideas for boxes, as well as cover the reveals Wyrd had given us at time of record (it's already old).   Check out Dek's YouTube Channel Please donate to our Patreon!   JOIN OUR DISCORD

Our good friends Ben (of the Vassal World Series Committee and Comic Belief) and Rob (of Game Store Dropouts) join Roman to talk about how TOs think about rules questions--including a special brain-twisting case study the Vassal World Series Committee recently had to rule on in their shadowy lair--along with a TO's role in the community, and resurrect a meme that keeps fresh no matter how long its...

Doug feels slightly betrayed by his compatriot ginger hosts and has decided to right a grievous wrong. Here's the first and maybe only format where Doug goes mildly insane answering Friday Night Faux-Down questions that were rightfully his to answer. More specifically, Doug drags Victoria, Jeff, and and unrepentant Roman back through the topics of the last FNFD and they give their answers to the t...

The return of Friday Night Faux Down! Rob joins the Ginger Trifecta as Doug and Victoria take a well-deserved break and foolishly trust us to handle things in the meantime.

Don't be late for class! Scoundrel school is back in session with the most class we'll ever have (ba-dum tiss), course 101: Introduction to Steam Powered Comedy. We'd gotten some feedback that our in-jokes were hard to appreciate for new listeners, so this is a good jumping-on point for folks who'd like to better understand our scoundrel-y ways. Special thanks to Doug Bowman of https://www.topdoug...

First, big 'Thank You' to Joe for helping with this edit! Second, Kimberly had to use a less-than-ideal microphone. She's understandable but it can be hard at times. Hello! We now have an official name for this format! Join Vic, Monica, Kimberly, and Doug the IT Guy as they finally tackle the sexy sexy topic of 'Gay Subtext in Malifaux fluff'.

100! (one hundred! (C!)) episodes done! Dang. You're welcome. For this victory lap, the regular five Scoundrels got some special guests on (of their own volition, even) that go by 'Kyle' and 'Matt'.

It's been three months, finally time to bring back the podcast equivalent of a Malifaux sh*tpost. Friday Night Faux-Down! returns for blood with a bunch more inane topics that don't matter! Join Doug, Vic, Roman, Eli, Nate and Rob (of Game Store Dropouts fame) as we gift you with this early holiday present.   Topics: 1. What real-world musician could find themselves in Malifaux and do well in the...

Welcome to the third installment of the Shipisode! You asked for it (you degenerates) so we provided (us degenerates). This one features 100% less Monica! So this time around Doug, Victoria, Mike and Eli are EXTRA disorganized and thought provoking, but we make up for it with volume. ENJOY!   Please donate to our Patreon!   JOIN OUR DISCORD

We haven't forgotten about this format! Welcome back to our other other podcast, Best Laid Plans. In this episode we have an actual in-person game this time!

Been a hot minute since we had a FNFD, so we're fixing that! Join Doug, Vic, Roman, Eli, Jeff, and Joe as we discuss the deep philosophical questions of Malifaux.   Topics: 1. You are trading a model from your faction to another faction with the exact same soul stone cost.  Who are you trading for whom? 2. Explorers are finding new areas of Malifaux. What new location/area would you like explored/...

Hey all. It's been a year or two since we did this but we're bringing back the tourney recap format. Mostly because I actually got to play in a tournament for once!

Forewarning, we are using one single microphone for 6 people and several of us had been drinking....
