It's Friday Night Faux-Down! Sit down for your bi-weekly dose of Guild-ordered propaganda and listen to the soothing sounds of 7 people talking about butts! Join Doug, Victoria, Roman, Nate, Benn, Jeff, and Cole in this packed episode. I apologize but we had some uncharacteristic issues with Romans audio. ALSO! Come join us for the 100th episode celebration tournament taking place in Des Moines on 3-12!   Topics: 1. Tis the season! Give us the synopsis of a new Malifaux Hallmark Christmas Movie. 2.

Bed/Wed/Behead: Title Master box edition 5. Forget the Crossroad 7 exist for a second and make the perfect band out of characters? 6. Best/Worst butt in Explorers Society. 7. A true neutral clone of your favorite master replaces the original. How long does it take for the rest of the cast to notice the difference?   Please donate to our Patr

An episode so secret even Doug and Victoria don't know what's on it! The rest of the Scoundrels find themselves the...guests...of "adoring fans" as a big thank you for all Doug and Victoria do! We just hope the rest of the Scoundrels are alright...

It's still 2021, right? Sorry about the late episode but we decided to REALLY enjoy our holiday breaks. Here's our recap of 2021 for both ourselves and Wyrd, as well as our hopes and dreams for the year 2022. Your hosts are the usual suspects of Doug, Victoria, Nate, Eli, and Roman.   Please donate to our Patreon!  JOIN OUR DISCORD

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 setting? What new abilities (if any) would they have? 2. The 9th faction will be made out of American cartoon characters. Each person gets to pick a Master & Keyword for the new faction.       -  Bonus Question: Who dual factions into Cartoon faction?       -  Alternatively, each master is dual faction with a different faction. Who’s the cartoon master and what’s their second faction? 3. Gremlin-ize one master. Next player must explain how it would change the lore/power dynamic of the faction. 4. Steam Powered Scoundrels Wave 2 is coming. Give the next/last person their new Title. 5. What Malifaux master/c

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

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/discovered in future fluff? 3. (Modern Day Malifaux) What is your favorite character's favorite gaming medium, and their favorite game? 4. Waldo fell victim to an unfortunate “Accident” and is currently residing in Imp hospital. Who’s Wyrd’s temporary mascot while Waldo recuperates? 5. Pick a character. What four words do you whisper in their ear to make them yours forever? 6.  You are tasked with opening and running Malifaux’s first 4-star restaurant. Who is your chef, sous-chef, and Maître d'hôtel ? What is the Thursday night special? 7. You must paint one model as yourself. What model do you choose and ho

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! (forever Henchman) So listen to 6 of the 10 participants in the latest tournament in St. Louis recap their games and yell at each other. Forewarning, we are using one single microphone for 6 people and several of us had been drinking.   Please donate to our Patreon!  JOIN OUR DISCORD

Let's wind down from that amazing reveal episode and go back to our wheelhouse. This episode is brought to you by Victoria! Welcome to the Shipisode 2. For those that missed the first one, we discuss the internet pastime of 'shipping' as well as a bunch of our 'ships' we have for the Malifaux fluff. We got Monica and Doug back along with another very special guest (the Shipman himself) for a raucous episode (and possible some learning opportunities). This has nothing to do with the thirstiness of the hosts, I assure you!

Thanks for bearing with us as we spent a whole month patting ourselves on the back. Now we're back with that hot sweaty Malifaux content Incognito Mode was made for! In this episode we go through EVERY. SINGLE. MASTER. in the game and give you our take on what we want to see as their new title card/sculpt. Yes, a few have already been revealed. Ours are better.

WARNING: Alcohol and Strong Language Go ahead and listen to the previous episode first if you haven't already. It's light on actual Malifaux content so we won't blame you if you give it a pass (probably). Here's the Q&A portion of the recording. We have a blast answering questions submitted by our Discord (and some from ourselves). Here's to another 5 years of being the loudest Malifaux fans entertaining the best miniatures community out there. We love you guys.

Hello Scoundrels, Steamers, and unpaid Wyrd interns! We're bringing you a very special pair of episodes where we, THE Steam Powered Scoundrels, celebrate our 5 Year Anniversary. Yes, we've managed to survive for half a decade bringing you our special brand of Malifaux content and we thought we'd party with a few drinks and a looooong discussion about the podcast and our hosts. If you really love us, join our Discord   Please donate to our Patreon! 

We finally managed to wrangle Craig's schedule into submission and get him back to make up for the scuffed audio from last time. This go-round I'm happy to announce we lost NO AUDIO. So sit back, crack open a cold one with "the boys" and enjoy 90 minutes of Malifaux sass. Topics: Which character most deserves a horse/mount. How does this affect their gameplay? You are Nexus. You can get mites into any existing master. Who do you infest and what do you have them do? The influence of the Burning Man is starting to grow in Malifaux. Which crew is next to feel his burning embrace (after Wildfire and EVS). What industry will gremlins completely take over/ruin? What famous chef becomes a malifaux model and where do they go? Pick a Spirit Animal for the next player in line that’s a malifaux Model (no Masters/Henchmen). Make up a new Strategy or Scheme that will shut up people complaining about Runic Binding. Malifaux gets its own fighting game spinoff. Who is in your favorite 3-person team? What's everyone'

Nate and Roman are back to talk about a whole issue of Chronicles this time, instead of just one story. They also realize that Breachside Broadcast numbering isn't the same as the Chronicles volume numbering. Math is hard. Please donate to our Patreon!  JOIN OUR DISCORD
