  1. Found this on the wallpaper section. Correct me if I am misremembering, but wasn't Grimwell unable to hire nurses at this point given 2e dreamer?
  2. To be fair, programming is outside of Wyrd's wheelhouse, a licensed game by a dedicated developer would probably be a better outcome. That would need a company to show interest in buying the rights however, and since it isn't that big of a franchise, and indie devs like making their own dreams, this is highly unlikely. I personally believe that Malifaux has the strength of aesthetic to pull in an audience beyond fans of the IP (the Shadowrun Returns series did this for example), but I still hate how much of a pipe dream this is, I would love a Malifaux game.
  3. What about being able to discard cards, with that being how you trigger suits off of abilities on top of adding odds to whatever action you are taking?
  4. I would like to see either a rougue-like where you either have access to eight units from each faction (plus player leader) and survive day to day. Units level up on kill or gaining VP, emphasizing the strategies and schemes from permadeath discouraging going full in on combat. I would feel like keeping it to the original 5 factions may be best, both for workload as well as the O5 having the most coherent aesthetics and gameplans. The bigger question is how to include a 'cheat fate' mechanic both for its importance to the source and ability to use both of Malifaux's taglines ("cheat fate or lose you soul" and "Bad Things Happen") for marketing purposes. As well as including soulstones. Although the concept of resources that you can use in a replenishable manner in combat being an important currency is an interesting one with a lot of interesting design space. Of course, you could also do a more story focused game, but Malifaux's factions pose an obvious problem. You could have multiple campaigns (a lot of work), or characters from factions joining up (which is difficult and would need a lot of characters.
  5. Events from the Obsidian Gate event also suggest that their forces will contain Arabian Djinn, Hindu Asura and Chinese Yoagai, and hopefully even some European demons. Albeit I must admit that I cannot confirm the last. Banasuva also seems to be one of such creatures.
  6. I am in the campaign, and an Indian spirit makes an appearance at one point.
  7. Question is exactly what the title says, in the current game there are more than just Japanese creatures that are posing a challenge, with creatures from other mythologies making appearances. My question is whether Kimon is going to be comprised solely of Oni, or if western Demons, assorted mythological creatures, as well as Indian, Korean, or Chinese spirits will also make appearances.
  8. So is the Undying Box basically an alternate starter set then?
  9. Yeah, I should have seen that response coming. I did not properly articulate the concept I was describing. I was meaning along the lines of a very generic pursuit, like the one's in the core book, based around social situations and being good at cunning to complete an intelligence/academic charm/performer triad for social pursuits. Should have just said that. Also, I feel like 'Agitator' would be a better name than Propagandist. Different conotations come with the word. One suggests someone whose entire purpose is to rile people up and will them with strong emotions, the other suggests someone who "interprets" facts and distributes them through a network.
  10. So this is basically the agitator class then? Definitely seems very interesting. Albeit is means that the investigator and face (cunning, talks their way out of things, acts like they belong. etc.) pursuits that I feel are missing from the game will not appear for a while, NB book will likely contain much more specific classes like those form under quarantine.
  11. So it is basically a fixer class? A class that has you begin the game knowing people who are important who can help you rather than having to forge these relationships through gameplay. This feels like something that will be very GM dependent on how interesting it is, a bad FM will have this class feel very mechanical while a good one will make it feel like you are playing the powerful connected character. Interested to see how this plays out.
  12. More likely a reporter will be placed with other investigative characters in a sort of investigator class. Along with a cunning/face pursuit it is one of the two pursuits the game needs to add. How about players who want to dedicate themselves to heavy guns? Also, 10T book? Is that replacing the Avatar/high level play book, or is it going to come after it? Especially since I thought the avatar thing had been acknowledged as a sort of failed gimmick.
  13. Would this also work for players who would like to dedicate themselves to bows or thrown weapons?
  14. The winner doesn't die. Nicodem is going to be dead in lore. Admitedly though I am annoyed at the fact that the thunders had to be involved in this, why couldn't Nico and J just find and kill each other the old fashioned way? The thunders never seem to lose and manage to manipulate everyone like puppets and its kinda annoying to me.
