Steam Powered Scoundrels: A Malifaux Podcast

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.

Hey! Someone took us up on that offer to help get a podcast off of the ground. SO, here's The Breachburnt podcast headed by a Scoundrel regular, James Hahn. Go check out there podcast on anchor now or after you listen (if you like it).   https://anchor.fm/breachburnt

Follow-up episode! You get more of that juicy naughty math and statistics with Doug, Cole, Mike, Brien, and Reed. This time we cover Strat scoring breakdown, unused masters, and the odd cases of Guild and Resser title master data. Please donate to our Patreon!  JOIN OUR DISCORD

Bringing you proof right here that Steam Powered Scoundrels can be serious on occasion. In this episode Doug, Cole, Mike, Brien and special guest Reed as we go over Reed's data of the past 6 months of the vassal league.

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.topdougdesign.com/ for making a spiffy 3D-printable Treasure Pile for Bonanza Brawl, and a lot of other cool terrain. Take a look!

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!

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'. We roped the devs into this episode to talk about the newly released board games from Wyrd: Bayou Bash and Vagrantsong.   Vagrantsong Playlist Please donate to our Patreon!  JOIN OUR DISCORD

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.

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.
