Some of the biggest ones I can think of when I've been to tournaments is as follows: Use the bathroom before the match starts Don't be afraid to ask questions about the event or seeing opponent stat cards, also don't be afraid to ask for a TO if you and your opponent can't resolve a rule issue Find time somewhere between matches to eat. You won't realize how hunger can mess with your play! Bring your own tokens/scheme markers so you and your opponent won't confuse schemes.(I use Relic Knight's kickstarter tokens for my scheme/AOE markers personally) Also going with the mindset that tournaments are a fun yet competitive way to guarantee an afternoon of matches. Don't make it about winning, make fun your priority. Side note, if you're proxying, give your opponent a run down of what you may be using as a stand in for another model.

Going to have to agree with you on this one. Also, a spanish space game company stole a vast majority of my player base too. (myself included for a time) Let's just say it's rhymes with "Smervus Smelli"

That's a very good observation, Omenbringer. I've been reading over some of the changes in the game and some I really like and others I find a bit odd. I like the general idea of an upgrade system, it sort of allows you to (in my eyes) create a "diet" malifaux experience which makes jumping in a little less complex. When complexity can be added, I could see MORE upgrades being made available at certain point thresholds, specific scenarios, etc. Sacrificing complexity for simplicity has been one of the bigger gripes I've heard from some of the eldest of malifaux players I've played with. (remember Levi V1/V2/V3 cards, anyone?)

I was one of the few players who ditched out when it jumped from 1.5 to M2E. I remember when 10 Thunders came out and I thought to myself "Great, now there's going to be plastic resculpts of the pewter resculpts of the original box masters!" I actually wasn't expecting a complete overhaul of the rules and game. I remember seeing all the different waves of cards coming out for beta testing and I just couldn't keep up. I sold a big chunk of my Malifaux collection just because I hadn't the interest or drive to continue playing like I used to, especially with the constant flux from the rules. Up until recently I've been bit by the Malifaux bug again. Seeing the final rules for the game and how the game is more accomidating to new players has peaked my hopes for a stronger Malifaux community overall. With the re-release of everything in plastic, I can easily point players to great starting points for a faction or playstyle (or even dual faction boxes for some harder to pin down types), whereas with everything before a lot of the rules were very convoluted to the casual player.

Thanks Nathan! I really appreciate it!

I tried emailing the Henchmen Email on the website about my previous Henchmen status at office.vcen@wyrd-games.net and the email bounced back to me. Is there an alternate email I should be sending this to?

Showcase is my FLGS! Have we played each other before? I used to be the Henchman there before the beta testing began. I may pick the mantle back up if player interest is there!

I've been getting in contact with some old players and I'm trying to get things shaking back at my old FLGS so if you'd like to meet around there shoot me a PM! Or if you have a spot in particular I'm down to meet you there as well!

Where is this spot in Voorhees? I wouldn't mind driving over and seeing what you guys carry at some point!

Delaware wouldn't be a stretch for me either. I'm in the 19070 myself. Perhaps we could all converge? Showcase Comics did have some figures there, but there were a few only a few of the newer starter sets. I'd have to buy new stuff fresh out of M2E

I know your pain, trust me! There's a spot in University City called Red Cap's Corner. I'd been there before for other games, but hadn't seen any Malifaux merch sadly!

The title pretty much sums it up! Anybody still playing the game in the Philadelphia area? I've been out of the game for so long and I don't think I have any M2E information so I'd like to see how it's played or if there's a gaming group that's still playing or running events.

Just want to bump this up to the front page! I hope to see everyone Sunday!
