Campaign Ideas: Achievement League

 With the dust beginning to settle after both 'The Good, The Bad and The Fated' and the escalation league running up to it, some of the guys at Worhamma have been thinking about how we can keep the momentum going with Malifaux at the club.

There have been loads of new players starting at the club, which has provided a great atmosphere. If you live locally and haven't had the chance to pop down, I really suggest you do. It's a great friendly atmosphere, I'm sure you'll have a great time. For me info follow the link to Worhamma's facebook page above or follow them on twitter @worhamma.

 There is always a dangerous balance with events, I find. Too little and people start to disperse and look at other rules sets; too much and they get bored and disinterested. Ideally, straight after the events we have just run, I think we want something casual and not too involved. Something that doesn't punish people for not coming or not playing Malifaux every so often, but also something that provides a little incentive. There is talk of another 'The Good, The Bad and the Fated' running in September and I think running a league or campaign 'proper' on the build up to that would then help generate a higher level of enthusiasm, but for now we are best keeping it chilled out.

 A while back I wrote some quick and dirty rules for a set of linked story games, these are just there to provide people with a little bit more inspiration. On the suggestion of Nate Zettle, no doubt inspired by what happened at last years 'Malifools: Campaign of Carnage' I have also thrown out some quick ideas of an 'achievement league' challenges. The basic concept is that, during any game of Malifaux, if you are able to complete any of the things on the list, you simply cross them off. The first person to cross of the entire list wins. Simple.

I am not sure how well some of these will work, but as I said these are just some ideas to help get the ball rolling on this. I'd be interested to here what you guys have to say:
