Red Jokers: A Faux Shaux

Welcome to 2018 ladies and gents! The Red Jokers have finally got here too, but before we dive into the new year we took the time to reflect on 2017 – the year that was in Malifaux. Ben Rantall of Direct Misfire fame joins us once again, along with usual suspects Huw, Byron and Nick.

Nick also tells us of his adventures in the land of stars and stripes. How does the Australian “meta” compare when put up against the yanks? Is Ion Seedies really a weak master? Turns out no.

We also discuss the new errata and our thoughts on the various soul stone changes. Finally, a François nerf! Is Marcus the new black? Such excite!

Songs on this Episode:

Silverchair – Anthem for the Year 2000

Queen – Fat Bottomed Girls

Well regardless of what episode I thought it was, I hope you guys enjoy episode 21!

In this one we talk about our experience at the recent Back to the Fauxture Tournament, the concept of 1-day Tournament banding and we catch up with Bensome of Direct Misfire fame, so we can have a chat about some of our favourite wave five models.

Music this episode

Weird Al Yankovic - White and Nerdy

Dean Martin - That's Amore

Back at last and what a journey it has been! I’ll need to start with a disclaimer on this one lads. This is the worst episode we have released in terms of sound quality, and it was also by far the most difficult to edit. Due in no small part to Jeremy’s exceptional editing skills, we have managed to turn a four way skype conversation that was more full of bugs and sound mishaps than you can possibly imagine, into something reasonably listenable! A month’s work for something not quite up to our usual standard is unfortunate, but I’m sure you’ll get around it anyway.

On the bright side, we hope you enjoy something a bit different! This episode is a collaboration across many leagues of land and sea, involving Huw & Dave as well as Brian and Joe from the Critical Twits Podcast.

The awesome foursome talk their favourite Malifaux models, whatever happened to the Other Side and what super powers each host would manifest after going through the breach. We also go into detail about a few non-Malifaux games that every listener should be trying out and advise listeners on how to create the ultimate drum circle using soulstone weed.

Music this episode:

Just some unlicensed, royalty-free junk that is YouTube friendly.

You should expect to have another episode of The Red Jokers dropping much sooner than you think!

The Red Jokers are back after a Christmas hiatus and ready to talk some serious Faux!

First we cover what we've been up to over the break and then we get stuck in to Yan Lo. What do we think of the crotchety old patriarch? you'll have to listen to find out.

Next up we discuss the most eligible masters in Malifaux. Who is the sexiest? Who would make a respectable partner? Who would you be keen on in this crazy world? Let us know on FB.

Last, but not least, we have a discussion about the errata and our thoughts on GG2017, particularly frame for murder. We go in to depth about erratas and if they are good for the state of the game. What do you think?
