Greetings Mid-Atlantic Warmachine & Hordes Players!
All Things Fun!, the regions Warmachine & Hordes leader is sponsoring our second annual FoodMachine Tournament & Food Drive on Sunday, November 13 starting at Noon! The Entry Fee is 15 cans of food (or $20.)
Last year with the help of our great Warmachine & Hordes player community we managed to raise over 3 1/2 tons of food for the South Jersey Food Bank. It was one of the single largest donations of the year for the Food Bank and it made a real and measurable difference in your neighbors lives during the holidays. Right now in South Jersey over 32,000 children don't know where their next meal is coming from. 1 in 6 people can't afford to put food on their table. The South Jersey Food Bank is the regions safety-net providing food for over 200 of the area's shelters, soup kitchens and food banks.
All Things Fun! was recognized as the largest single FoodMachine Event last year and we are hoping to raise even more food this year! 100% of all the proceeds go to the South Jersey Food Bank. Food Machine is a special event that allows you to "spend" cans to engage special "cheats" during the event. For example you can spend a can to re-roll a die. (The first time, it costs 2 cans the second, 4 cans the third time, 8 cans the fourth time...you get the idea.)
Sure, doing good and being part of something bigger is great but you can also win some cool prizes!
The first 40 players entered into the event will receive your very own Privateer Press Bandanna as a participation prize. We'll also have raffles during the day including gift certificates to Tunes, the Music & Entertainment Retailer with 5 area locations, special Privateer Press Dice, AKA Recording Gift Certificates, special custom Foodmachine Markers, copies of some great Board Games and much more. Prizes for the winners of the event and for the players that donate the most cans during the event include; $100 All Things Fun! Gift Certificate and a Tunes Prize Pack!
And for the first time we'll also be hosting a FoodMachine themed Managled Metal Side Event at 4pm for those players that want to drop from the main event and still have a crack at some great prizes!
The whole event will be streamed live on our website: www.allthingsfun.net
We should thank our sponsors for their support:
Bottino's Shop-Rite
Tunes
AKA Recording
Vision Center II
ACD Distribution
Screen Gems Printing
and All Things Fun!
So even if you are planning on playing in a later event we still encourage everyone to come out and make a difference in the community (and help us hold on to the traveling FoodMachine trophy!)

“Breaking the Rules”
At any point during a game, a player may donate a canned good to create an in-game effect. These canned goods are in addition to any canned goods that were donated for the registration fee. The following are the in-game effects that are generated by extra donations:
You may donate 1 canned good to:
1. Add +1 to your initiative die roll per can donated. Secretly decide a number of cans to donate and after your opponent decides how many cans to donate, reveal the total bonus amount and then roll for initiative.
2. Re-roll 1 of your dice. Each subsequent time you break this rule, whether for it’s for the same die or a different die, the cost to break this rule doubles. For example the 1st re-roll=1 can, 2nd re-roll=2 cans, 3rd re-roll=4 cans, 4th re-roll=8 cans. The cost resets back to 1 can at the start of your next turn. You cannot re-roll the initiative roll.
3. Force your opponent to re-roll 1 of his/her dice. Each subsequent time you break this rule, whether for it’s for the same die or a different die, the cost to break this rule doubles. The cost resets back to 1 can at the start of your opponent’s next turn. You cannot force a re-roll your opponent’s initiative roll.
4. Shift damage one column/branch to the left or right once per damage roll.
You may donate 3 cans to:
1. Trigger 'Shake Effects' on a warcaster/warlock or warjack/warbeast instead using of using Focus/Fury. Can only be used once per turn per warcaster/warlock or warbeast/warjack.
2. Give your warcaster/warlock an extra focus/fury point during the control phase. This may be in excess of their focus/fury stat, but does not change the stat itself. Your warcaster/warlock receives this focus even if other effects do not normally allow him focus/fury points. Can only be used once per turn.
3. Generate 1 free non-charge power attack. Each subsequent time you break this rule, the cost to break this rule doubles. The cost resets back to 3 cans at the start of your next turn.
4. Measure the distance between any 2 models on the board at any time.
You may donate 10 cans to:
1. Force an opponent’s advance deploy model/unit to lose the advance deploy ability. Decide this after seeing your opponent’s list but before you roll for the initiative roll. Can only be used once per game.
2. Give 1 non-character jack/beast HUNGRY. HUNGRY adds +1 MAT, RAT, DEF, and ARM to the stat line for the duration of the game. Can only be used once per game.
3. Prior to the starting roll, designate one of your warrior model/units to have terror. Can only be used once per game.
4. Designate one Mercenary or Minion models/unit as a friendly Faction model for one game round. Can only be used once per game.
You may donate 100 cans to:
1. Take one out-of-faction Warjack or Warbeast for your Warcaster or Warlock (respectively). This warbeast counts as a friendly Faction model. May only be used for a single warjack or warbeast per game.

Hope to see everyone on Sunday, 11/13, Doors open at 10am and the games begin at Noon!
