Drew,
I'm wondering about details for game setup. I love the fact that Malifaux is character-driven, but there's no denying that some elements of that are not optimal for tourny setup.
Are you planning on skipping step 2 ('Select Location', which includes terrain setup) of setup? Time constraints probably demand that it be skipped or heavily modified. I imagine it'll be like the Malifaux tourny at Gen Con (and most GW and PP tournies), where you arrive at a table already decked with terrain. But I've been wrong before...
Will the special events and special terrain rules (one of my fave parts of this game!!) be used? Will they be flipped for as normal, pre-determined and set for each board, or not used at all?
And how about step 5? Do we choose crews by the book (i.e., after seeing the terrain and strategies and schemes), or are we limited (ala Warmachine) to bringing one or two prepared lists we must use for every scrap?
Or are all of these secrets to be revealed day of the show?
Just curious.
Thanks for considering. (And thanks for running the show!)
