Addam Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 It will make me wait before jumping into Malifaux. No sense getting in right before a big change. I hope it makes Dr. McMourning even cooler, because I intend on getting his crew when I do buy in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gensuke626 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 If every model is getting updated rules, perhaps we'll see a single Rules Manual and faction books to give us model stats? And I think it's a given that updated cards will be made available for purchase. They already sell updated cards so the precedent is there. I have to say I'm nervous. Sure Malifaux as is has some obtuse rulings and there are certainly some models that are could stand to be upgraded. So if this is updated Malifaux that still plays like current Malifaux (i.e. D&D 3.0 to 3.5) then I'll be ecstatic. If it's a truly new version of Malifaux (i.e. D&D 3.5 to 4E) then I'll be cautiously optimistic. Still, in Wyrd I trust. I can't wait for May 31st! If every model is getting updated stats, maybe the Ice Golem will actually see time as something besides a stand-in for Ice Pillars. :Smug_Puppet1: Considering what's happened between Warhammer 40k and their New Editions and Warmahordes Mk.2...I think Maliufaux 2e Is going to follow a similar line of advancement. Base Mechanics stays the same but rule tweaks change some of the more complicated interactions between specific special rules while more common special rules and triggers (Like say, Squeel! or Lifer) get folded into the core rule set. I can't imagine a minis game making as drastic a change as D&D 4e, 40k 3e, ect. without potentially alienating large portions of their fanbase.

Gremlin guy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Gremlins as a faction is sweetness! Have to buy more gremlins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randalor Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I really hope they don't do faction books. It was bad enough in Warmachine having to buy three books to get all my options for one faction (Core book for rules, Cygnar faction book and Mercenaries faction book) but with so much overlap in Malifaux, I can't see them justifying seperating all of the factions.

greenstuff_gav Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 i already had trouble pushing Malifaux; don't get me wrong, it's been a long while since v1 but not that long since 1.5 and people get miffed at the regular book releases be interesting to see if it's a Rules Tweak or Rewrite... will determine if my gremlins get stripped down and fleabayed f'sure...

Forar Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I really hope they don't do faction books. It was bad enough in Warmachine having to buy three books to get all my options for one faction (Core book for rules, Cygnar faction book and Mercenaries faction book) but with so much overlap in Malifaux, I can't see them justifying seperating all of the factions. On the other hand, if they can do concise (low art/page count, cheap/cost effective) faction books, it would mean that instead of needing to carry around a GIANT omnibus, one could have a more slender manual on hand for playing. However, this assuming playing a single faction during a day/session/tournament, and there is enough overlap across faction (merc units, rules exceptions, etc) that it could find people 'needing' 2-3+ books just to field their usual crews. Of course, if the rules on the updated/streamlined stat cards are indeed the cats pajamas, perhaps the single book supported by informative cards would be enough. Eh, I could go either way. As much as I love the fluff and art, if they were looking to do an update book with ALL of book 1-4's figure stats, I'd probably hope for something lean on fluff and art for that very reason; keep the page count as low as possible for a reference catalog, with a rules manual 2.0 for condensed play specific information.

Cool and dynamic upgrades to masters Lucius as a Master I cant wait! You realize one book with all updated model stats, plus new models, PLUS all existing fluff AND new fluff, would be...about as big as every book so far combined, right? That would be like a 500 page book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brdparker Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm ridiculously excited about this, especially the streamlined rules. That'll help newer players get into the game. As for worries... I'm not too concerned. Wyrd wasn't originally a game company, and while they were off to a bit of a rocky start in terms of rule elegency (IMHO), they have made leaps and bounds since then. I have no doubt that M2 will display just how far the company's come in game design and rule clarity understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sway Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 As long as we continue to get our fluff fix from the Chronicles I'm okay with losing all (or most) of the fluff from the big book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
