Alan, Rudy, and Justin are back to chat about The Other Side. Also some talk the latest Jacob Lynch tech, and debating the flip for turn 6.   Thanks for listening. *The audio quality of this episode is not the greatest, but we are working on some solutions to improve it for future episodes.

Rudy and Al chat about Malifaux...  and then a challenger of great skill emerges. Rudy vs. Mr. Cheated Fates Radio himself in a three hotly contested debates.  Topics include acceptable terrain options, a librarian in a tin suite, and the future artistic direction of the Miss model line.

Al and Rudy are Joined by Justin for a recap of the OFCC tournament in Portland.  Then Justin and Rudy Debate the importance of measuring widgets, and which Portland Malifaux tournament reigns supreme.  Enjoy!

This time around Ken and Al are joined by Adam of Cheated Fates Radio. They chat Gen Con, giant enforcers brawls, and ken's first appointment with the good doctor.  Then they kick off a new segment "The Wyrd Debate Club". Ken and Adam take sides as we debate Ophelia's strengths, big mouthed tadpoles, and using dice for wounds. Please let us know what you think of the new segment, and suggest some topics for future debates. Thanks for listening.

Rudy and Al discuss a game, a tournament, and answer some questions.  Buckle up this episode was plagued with audio gremlins, but we have finally gotten it to a point where I'm only mildly embarrassed to release it. Still far from our best work, but good news the next episode is much better and will be released very soon as it is already recorded.

The boys kick the cobwebs off the microphones, and try their hands at some list building as well as general banter.  Here is a link to the Trains and Lava vassal map.  Also I'd like to make a shout out to the Flippin Jokers who published a really good list building segment, that we unfortunately didn't listen to and steal from until after this was recorded. here is a link to that episode. Thanks for listeneing!

Here it is! Fresh off the...- nah, I ain't gonna bullshit. I had this recorded two weeks ago. Life got busy and it took a bit to sit down and edit! Sorry, guys.  Well here it is now. The mistakes were made adepticon report. You've heart the best! Now hear the rest! The Food! The Games! The Addicts! The Rats! (Oh Joy.)

Easter recording date? Oh snap, dawg. Ken's gota to skip out. That's fine, tho. We kicked it old school with just Al and Rudy chatting about next weekend, the easter sale, and what we've been up to. Spoiler alter. There's some Malifaux involved. We're both basically getting ready for Adepticon next weekend, and playing games with folk to get our head around these new scheme and strats. We're trying out some new software, and during the editing process I decided I don't like it. So if there are odd transitions or gaps, it might be our odd transitions and gaps. Or it might be that the recording software had a lag and drop 15-20 seconds of conversation. Regardless! I stitched it all back up and made a new episode of mistakes were made! This one just happens to be aptly named.

We made an episode "real quick". You can't hear it but at the top of the ep, Ken and I agree, "Let's just do a quick one, right?" "Yeah, totally..." Right. An hour and a half is totally quick. It's a nice little catch up, though. No fancy topic today (it was supposed to be quick, right?) so we talk about our games, do our annoucements, and get a little rambly. Like always. In fact, I'm not sure there's an F-Bomb in there... Oh man. I've let you down. I'm sorry. Enjoy the episode! We'll see you back in a couple weeks. Then we'll likely have another adeptisode. And move forwards from there!

Good evening. Or morning. Or day... you know what. Let (time) = (The time of day it currently is to you).Good (time!)Thanks again for checking out the Mistakes were made podcast. I don't know if anyone reads these things... I guess I could try and slip something in here and see if anyone catches it. What would I slip in here though... I'll have to think about it. Maybe next time I'll have a good idea for what to hide in the show notes......Shit! The show notes!Today we talk about a bunch of stuff! How there's still only one actual post at themissingh. How Rudy's going to be hosting OFCC this year. How Rudy and Ken are flying all over the damn country to play this silly little game we love so much. Friendship, man. Powerful stuff.We talk about the GG 2016 document, and how Levi players can like it or lump it. It's back payments for all the scheme points people couldn't get off you for assassinate. Think about it. And then finally, we do our sixth installment of the "What to expect when you're expecting", the outcasts. Those wiley devils. What can you even expect to expect when the faction ranges from an undead woman who manipulates time, an undead malifaux icon, a nigh-unkillable old man with a wicked right hook, a pair of bouxom bloodthirsty babes, a Hulk Hogan wannabe, a stealthy assassin with an enormous staff, the nastiest pandemic ever to hit the sewers and.... hmmm.... what's that other one. Nope. All seven are in there. Nevermind. Weird. I thought I missed one.Well whatever. We talk about it to the best of our ability. Though, really, given the chance we could talk about the outcasts all (time). We don't. We spend a totally reasonable amount of time talking about them. I hope you enjoy our latest submission to the podcast-o-sphere! If you enjoyed it, let us know on twitter! Or the email. I should probably go check that right now....Nope. Just a bunch of new followers. Which is good. But really, we would love to connect. Hm. Yeah! Hit us up! Maybe after you've finished listening to the podcast to(time). (That one doesn't work if you're listing in the morning... tomorning isn't a thing... but today and to night? Totally legit.) Man. My rambly type is in true form... MISTAKES WERE MADE!

Hey all. Typing this on my janky surface keyboard. So i aplogize for any misspeled wrds or oher ypos.Only half kidding. I'll start to care now that the joke exists!So, it's been a little while. But we're here now, and that's what matters. At least that's what all the rom-coms tell me.We're making some cool announcements- like mwmmissingh.blogspot.com is now live! And Rudy is probably going to adepticon maybe.... likely. But finally, we continue our series, "what to expect when you're expecting" with a one off on the neverborn. Grain of salt, friends, it's never been any of our main factions. But we've seen em on the table, and each have played a little bit.... Just sayin'. Grain of salt.SO! Without further ado. The long awaited ep one of season two? Year two episode one? Episode 26? Whatever! IT'S MISTAKES WERE MAAAADE! (Kermit arm flailing.)

Or... is it the annual episode? I don't want to spoil anything. We totally talk about that topic. DAMNIT! Spoiled it.Here are some other spoilers!Rudy and Al made it to 5 games played with all owned masters.Rudy and Al's last game with each last master was AGAINST EACH OTHER! That was pretty rad.We wax poetic about how we're going to turn the "H" part of "Hag" into a blog so we can stop doing it. One day, maybe we'll follow through! STAY TUNED!We talk Wyrd Black Friday, and some other interesting announcements. Tournaments, henchman stuff... the like.FINALLY! We do part two of our four part series, "What to Expect when you're expecting..." to face the guild and the arcanists. Bust episode! Strap in! Enjoy! Mistakes....... were made.

We're back!Okay, Phoenix may be a little hyperbolic, but you know what. It's good to be back.We talk about our new H-less H.A.G. We haven't setup the blog yet... >.

We talk games, worldwide events, and how to start a campaign.Do to scheduling craziness this episode is split into a couple of parts. Rudy and Al open it up. Ken and Al Chat for a bit, and Al and Rudy discuss the new campaigns starting up.The next few weeks are likely to remain busy so savor this one. Next episode won’t be out until early october at the earliestlinks Joe’s TTB Campaign Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFwYufX3paQ

This one we all have a slew of games against Tara.Only half kidding!Al Starts his descent into madness. Or at least despair. He's playing Pandora. That's what I'm trying to get at.Rudy finishes off the Gremlins and the Ressurs strong with two games of ophelia and a game of Molly.That leave him primarily focusing on the Thunders and only the Thunders.Ken..... LIVES! He is officially here. and officially. His twitter handle even changed! I didn't even ask him to do that! HE JUST DID! http://We also introduce a new segment that we blatantly ripped off then tweaked slightly called "the Lightning Round!" (Thunder noise). Basically, we do a fast paced Before we Begin type game setup (though no board...). A deployment, a strat, and a set of schemes, and our given faction and the declared faction of the opponent. Then (in a short amount of time) we talk about what we would probably do master and crew wise in a tournament setting. (Meaning, basically, Bodyguard came up. And while I might've done it in a normal game, I wouldn't necessarily in a tournament... Anyways...)LIGHTING ROUND! If you like the lightning round, let us know. We can tag s'more in.If you're looking to suggest topics of conversation, build questions, master segments, or request tutorials and things, you can hit us up on our email: MWMPodcast@gmail.comOr you can hit up our Twitter Account:MWMPodcast

Ken's a part of the show!Ken's super excited to join us today!Ken has a fever and has to bow out.... C'mon! Okay, maybe next week we do an extra ep and talk about something where he can join in and stuff. WHO KNOWS. Maybe his sickness is your gain or something.Luckily, he has plenty of time to rest.Al and Rudy talk about some general games and stuff- Al went to Gencon! He had a blast. Rudy went to Beerlifaux and FNM, and finished off two masters, and one faction. Gettin' close y'all. Real close.It's a pretty simple ep this week- we'll try and start getting some specific style tacticool content in the coming weeks as we welcome Ken officially into the fold.

Al and Rudy are joined by top players, Dan Johnson and Ted Prodromou. (I think I spelled that right. Johnson?)We talk through the 12 person event we had last weekend in Vancouver WA. It was a blast- we had some seriously strong competition and games. A real blast.Al tells us he's got a gag order and can't tell us about the one game he got to play. Understandable, it will be heard in depth at:http://beforewebegin.podbean.com/Ted also has a podcast! Or, he's on a podcast? Both, I think...http://awpp.podbean.com/We also talk about a bunch of other podcasters!Dan Miner's: http://www.fauxshow.ca/Josh Cal: http://www.throughthebreach.com/Tune in and list to us blather on about our games last week. And while I don't say it on the cast itself, I'VE CLOSED OUT GUILD. Two factions down. The rest should be following pretty quickly.Rudy out!

This is the one where we do a cross over with Joe and Adam of Cheated Fates!It's been a long time in the works.K, that's a lie. We've been talking about being excited about Gencon release stuff. We thought, with it being so close, that today would be the day they released the master-list. We scheduled it, then Wyrd sent us the head fake with the Brotherhood of the Rat, we panicked a touch, but they came through for us after all! So we basically decided it was up to use to come together to talk about all the things we want to by. To try and expel the hypeness and maybe get ourselves to a place where we could logically and reasonably go through our individual budgets and figure out what were the must buys.So! Sit back and enjoy four geeks getting way to excited about plastic toys they probably can't afford, and spend some time on your own figuring this all out. And remember when you don't have time to make a mistake, listen to cheated fates radio. Or something like that.Link to the shirts:Guild, Ressur, Arcanist, Ten Thunders, Neverborn, Gremlins, OutcastLink to the Newsleter for the rest of it:NEWSLETTER (Contains the hypeness)Note- the site might be pretty slow. It's been a little busy lately. Trying to contain it. They hypeness that is.

Al and Rudy talk about their HGA. H'gaaaahhh... Higuuuaaaahhh. Hugaaaagghhh....... Sorry about that. Hga. We talk about it in a weird order 'cause we have a couple pretty cool announcements. It's not even, like, "sometime in the future" kind of announcements Well- one is, two are not... Well- I don't want to spoil them for you. You'll just have to read it yourself. I mean... listen. To the podcast.We also broach a subject that's been on my mind..... basically forever. The subject of competitive play. How can you play like a champion when you're afraid of hurting feelings. How can you pick a strong list when you're brain actually tells you that the list is too strong?! TELL ME! We discuss it, and will likely continue to discuss it.Finally, and this is a spoiler for one of the announcements, but I said I'd put it in the show notes...-Spoiler Alert-There you've been warned.We've started up a Patreon account.

Rudy road tripped 20 hours, and now he's back and ready to report on Califaux. Al finally declares gremlins, but will he do it again. (Probably it is a league it would be rude to switch now.)Henchman Hardcore - Yeah we got thatGaining Grounds - CheckGuild talk- Definitely Gremlins -  Checktourney report -  CheckBeer -  YepCrooligans- ...   

Labeled part one because some day, Al will have an arcanasode, not because I talked for so long it needed to get split up into two part...Wait. I'm getting ahead of myself.I finished my first faction! I had a game with Kaeris, it was my last with her, and my last to five with the arcanists! That means... progress? I think? It's one of my two bigger factions, so I feel pretty good about having it knocked out. Unfortunately, my other big faction is the big hurdle that's left! We talk the H.A.G., events we're going to, perhaps we'll see you there?! WHO KNOWS! You do. Because you know if you'll be at the event we'll be at. There's no possible way for us to know your schedule. But you'll know ours... so...... yeah. That follows, right?So tonight, we do our regular jabbering, and I talk about how I've loved declaring Colette-.... I mean..... Arcanists!

Al and Rudy welcome special guests Ken (from the Gremlisode) and Mark Handford from The Faux Show!We do a Hag (It's very short. All of the games we played were talked about in...)The tournament report for Breaching the Faux!It's all in there. All the gorey details. The grudge matches. The schemes, the lists, the mistakes.The Faux Show: http://www.fauxshow.ca/Adepticon Details!: http://www.adepticon.org/North American Malifaux Rankings!: http://wyrd-games.net/community/topic/108356-warscorenet-as-a-replacement-to-malifauxrankings-in-us/Netflix.horse! http://www.netflix.horseSee you next time! Where I talk about how many percents there are in a percent. Yo dawg, I hear you like numbers.

Rudy Hosts a tournament, Alan participates in one. Everyone learns something. ... Something.We do our normal Hobby Games and such, and then talk about the two events that we had- My tournament this last weekend, and his attendance of the Michigan open. We also talk briefly about Breaching the Faux- What am I going to play to try to optimize my chances to take any best faction? Sorry we were gone for three weeks! Only a week longer than usual, but BfbDan asked if we were still producing, to which I said, "Um... yeah." But what I really wanted to say was, "I can't produce an hour plus a week like you can! You NEVER understood my art!" Then I would've run to my bedroom and slammed the door- but I didn't do that. I just said, "Um... yeah." So- Sorry about the wait. :)

We all knew this day would come.Following on the heels of the official release date of the Brewmaster, and Al and I's inevitable decline into the rootbeer colored faction (that totally does exist, contrary to popular trolling), we sit down and have a frank discussion about the Gremlins.Joining us today is Ken, a local bacon lover, and my Portland guide to the bayou. (I talked extensively with Miles and Mark from Detroit about Ophelia before I put her on the table, of course. Forewarned is forearmed.) SO! Cuddle up to your favorite piggy, grab yourself some shine, shout "sooooweeeee" and make him squeel like a pig. And enjoy this weeks episode of Mistakes were Made!

We're here! The last episode before we get into the "terrible teens". Hopefully they're not as bad as they sound... maybe we'll just skip right to ep 20. Alan plays a few games to prepare for a tourney he doesn't get to go to! Rudy plays a game with Alan, mostly because he's been too busy going to the beach to get to go to malifaux night. It's a hard life, right?We also talk about which events we want to go to in the coming year. Next year in the holyland. I mean Adepticon.Finally, we briefly discuss my toe-dipping into the gremlin faction, and how quickly a toe-dip can turn into a cannonball.They grow up so fast... Grab your brushes! Or your MAX fare, or whatever... And enjoy, Mistakes Were Made!!!Rudy

WHAT'S IN THE F*&#$N BOX?!Today we are joined by Cheated Fates Adam!We talk updates, campaigns, flying Ice Golems, and Malifaux's sweetheart... I mean... Mind-twisting psycho hose beast... Pandora! We also officially pimp some events that are potentially happening in a city near you! Or if not... maybe you should think about relocating. Or coming for a visit? Who knows. I also wanted to take a second to thank y'all and all y'all for continuing to listen to the mad ramblings of a couple dudes. 10 episodes in and we're at ~5000+ plays. We hope you have as much fun listening to our casts as we do making 'em, and look forward to the next set. Thanks again, and spread the word!So! Grab your brushes, your clean water, and your beverage of choice- (Remembering not to clean your brush in your beer, or pound the murky leftover pigment), and enjoy Mistakes were Made!RudyLinks for the doobledy doo.Live Free or Die CheatingCaptain ConBreaching the Faux (Definitely not Walpurgis)Ian/Drool Bucket's guide for building a list!Malifaux Analytics App Thingy!

Now with 50% more hosts!Dan Johnson of the Before We Begin podcasts joins us today to talk game updates, and then talk about why it's so important to give feedback to the beta. I mean... We really talk about what this whole "Campaign" thing is about, and what makes it so much fun. Which it is. You should try it.So, grab some popcorn and some paints, lock the cat in the bathroom, and enjoy, before we begin to make some mistakes. I mean... Beginning to Make some Mistakes... I mean... Mistakes Were Made!

The gang does a quick update (including a campaign beta game!), and does a good old fashioned H.A.G. (Thanks to Joe for the awkward acronym.)I play my two most of a games (they were basically done. Trust me.)Al gets his game in.We talk about the campaign system, very briefly. With a promist to talk about it s'more next week. (Once Al has read the rules. And I'll be another game or two into the process!)We then talk about one of my favorite masters, C. Hoffman and "The Hoff-Bots". General overview, favorite tactics and schemes, and eventaully a smattering questions from the public. Finally, we steal a page out of the Before we Begin playbook, and flips the schemes and strats of the game Al and I wanted to play shortly thereafter. Talk about what we think about based on our faction and the opponent's declared faction. A little bit of theory-faux on what we're thinking about playing based on the schemes and strats.So! Plug in, turn up, tune in, and enjoy. Ep 9 of Mistakes were Made!

Al and Rudy talk about their games and updates, then begin talking about the Wave 3 Public beta, the factions they're excited for, and the models that are over or underpowered (in our opinion!) Of course, by the time you listen to this, it's all changed for next week.I'm super excited about gremlins for the first time. Al, goes right for the uber broken. It's the only reason I got smashed! (Maybe not the only one...)Get in on the beta! Play some models! Share your experience! Makes some mistakes!

Al and Rudy try something a bit new.Why do I always start the description in third person, then switch to first person conversational in, like, the first paragraph. Hm. I guess we'll never know.We talk about a lot of stuff today! I had a game with Perdita where I did some filthy c-c-c-combos, and Al has a couple games with the same master that, while they have functionally the same crew, they go very differently.We then UNLOAD on the second master in depth. (You'll remember our first was with Joe's talk about Lady J). This week, Al and I talk molly, getting me ready to make use of the Undead Reporter with a heart of slowly decaying human flesh, Molly Squidgepige.Technical issues abound, F-Bombs are dropped, and we run a little long, but mistakes were definitely made. Tune in, grab a brush, or a brew (or both!) and enjoy Mistakes were Made Episode 7.Rudy

We talk about all the stuff!Alan had a tourney. I had a couple games, both McCabe.We ALSO had some cool feedback that came in, so we talk about that and answer some questions. Also we decide there are some we should come back to, like Raspy. So, yeah! Listen, enjoy, and revel in the Mistakes! ... That were... uhhmm... Made. Yeah. That felt a little clunky. We'll work on it, yeah?

The gang talks about their new years goals!Update (one game played... curse you families and holiday cheer! (I'm just kiddin' family. You know I love you.))We go over how we've been doing with the self imposed restrictions, and how long before we hope we're done with them. (How long can they hold out?! ONLY TIME WILL TELL!)Finally, we talk about our new year's resolutions, both for the podcast and our role in the Malifaux and Podcasting community, and for our own gaming needs and wants. Also also, Rudy Learns how to generate a cencorship tone from scratch instead of having to splice one in! Maaaagiiicaaalll!

The gang is joined today by none other than Cheated Fates Joe! (@cheatedfatejoe @cheatedfates)We discuss our basic biweekly updates, and Joe joins in! What did we learn, what did we do wrong?We also take some time to talk about Lady Justice, one of the guilds sharpest swords. But is her sword the only thing that is sharp about her? Joe Helps us dissect the question: Is Lady J really just a murder-monster? Does she have sneaky control techniques? Why do I suck at playing her?! What's behind the blindfold? Alright maybe we don't answer that question... But the other ones...Join Joe, Alan and Rudy in this week's episode of Mistakes Were Made!

This week- well, these weeks... Alan and I were a little busy, so we didn't get a ton of games in. The ones we did we learned a lot from. I'm still very excited to be playing masters that I have little to no experience with, and having a reason to hang with Alan more often (while digitally) has been a lot of fun too! So, sit back, grab some brushes and models, or just hold on while you listen on public transit (my optimal podcast time!), and enjoy, Mistakes Were Made: Episode Three. 

Hey all!Ep two for you, where we talk about our games for the weeks, as well as one that we played against each other. The miracle of technology!Because we still talked for too long, I had to work some audio-voodoo magic, and dropped us back to 64bit mp3 with a mono channel for quality. If it's atrocious, let me know and I'll try not to do that in the future. We may play around with bitrate and mono vs. stereo, but if you wanted anything it was gonna have to be mixed down, so you're welcome, and I'm sorry. :PLeave us some feedback here or at MWMPodcast@gmail.com, or on twitter at @MWMPodcastor@SchuepbachRor@Al4317And as always, at least one F-Bomb is guaranteed. (I added some beeps this week. Feedback on that is totally fine too. :P)

The Inaugural episode of the mistakes were made podcast.Alan and Rudy talk about how many "malifauxs" they have, and what they intend to do about it.As it is our first episode, this one is probably longer than our usual ep will be- clocking in at just over an hour. In our future episodes we hope to have a Hobby/Games style segments, updates on our progress, and most of all, things we've learned from the mistakes we've made.Other segments we hope to have are Q. and A.s with friends who have a handle on masters we're looking to branch into on our quest for completion. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, feel free to leave it here, or send us an email at MWMPodcast@gmail.comThanks for listening!MistakesWereMade(music credit: The Devil's Train by "The Lab rats")
