Howdy!

I'm just getting back into Malifaux as well and I think Games and Stuff in Glen burnie had a regular game night for Malifaux but it's been a while.

it will be the first place I look.

Maybe all the updated cards will come out in the faction card packs :Sad_Puppet1:

I would recommend sleeves for the puppet deck BUT this is based off of my experience with the first puppet decks they released. I don't know if the quality has improved since then.

I made heavy use of my puppet deck and then at GenCon one year I asked them if my decks was supposed to look this way.. faded, the grey rubbing off, etc. And I was told that is just normal wear and tear. And I was also told that in the condition my deck looked it would almost be considered a marked deck. Now this was a deck that got very heavy use and, again, it was the first runs of those decks. It might have improved since then.

See! I knew Marcus was OMG Uber.. thanks for confirming it!

Yeah, there has to be a fine line on how that would be adjusted but I agree. I think that is something that should be looked at at some point.

But for armies that actually make use of sacrificing models (ie, Kirai) it would be very tricky to balance I think.

But there is an easy fix for Kill Protegee. Don't announce it.

I know our group has not played with Hamelin but we have been theorycrafting about how he would be pretty annoying.

But now that I think about it.. I don't think I have seen anyone play Hamelin in the local area or when I was at GenCon last year.

The avatar looks a bit more witch like where the original looks a lot more hag like. I like both so i don't have any problem with either. The only problem I have is the sitting position of the alt which for a model that can move pretty fast looks a little strange.

Take them to an office place like staples or FedEx office. They will print them and you can work with them to get it cut and such. It might cost you a little bit but it shouldn't break the bank.

I'm in

I'm in the camp that a RJ on a negative flip should not be as powerful. Just severe I'm ok with but the extra flip tends to tip it.

The way that it works, IMHO, is if you are going against something that is H2W then you don't want to hold the red joker in your hand. You want it back in your deck so you get a chance for it to come up in the negative flips because otherwise, assuming you are getting at least one , it doesn't help you. And at that point you actually don't want a good result because you have better luck getting the RJ with a :-fate than with just a . And to me that logic does seem a bit odd. But as others say, it's the luck of the draw.

Yes. and it's an easy trigger for the avatar if I remember correctly.

Welcome to the addiction! The Ortegas are a fun crew but it won't take long before you start looking at other crews.. MUHAHAHAHAHA

What I'd really love is a strong community up here Harford County, but that seems to be hard to come by.

Yeah, unfortunately the only store I knew up that way closed a few years ago. I think there was someone trying to get a group together in Timonium at a game store up there.

And the women models are, for the most part cough*vicks*cough, actually clothed in a semi-normal fashion.

Hello all,

After a great deal of pressure, wheedling and cajoling, Bill (better known as Nix here on the forums) was finally able to get me to give Malifaux a try. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my two games with him and I want more.

I'm armed with a rules manual, a Fate Deck a Sonia Criid crew in dire need of painting and a burning desire to play a lot more. I'm living in Northern Maryland in Abingdon. Who wants to give me a reason to paint these beauties up so I can put them on the table?

Abingdon I think is a bit outside my normal travel range but if you find yourself down near Columbia or DreamWizards or Games and Stuff let me know and we can see about setting up a game.

I was going to say because the model doesn't look as good as the artwork.. I can't really say about power level since haven't played with or against the avatar much.

If the person likes the dreamer fluff and models, they should play him. As for it causing nothing but negative play experiences....that's a load of garbage! If you simply play with the right attitude (the patented "don't be a dick" approach) then your opponent will be in the game and has every chance of winning. You'll certainly both have fun.

I agree with both statements. I started Malifaux by picking up Pandora, but really jumped in when I started reading the Dreamer. I just don't want to take him for tournaments since I'm at the point that if I see a lot of dreamer/pandora crews I'd rather go find some more variety. But I still keep him in my friendly game rotations.

But back on topic:

I don't think you need Rising Powers to play the Dreamer if you have the cards. You will need the Rules Manual for sure to understand the rules that are not explained in detail.

I have a laminator at home. But depending on where you are, Fedex Office or other printing/copying places tend to do it.

Shared is becoming the norm since that is tournament format pretty much. Like all game systems when preparing for the next tournament is the average game you adopt the tournament rules and conditions.

My group has been doing shared for a while as we practiced for tournaments but will be going back to individual next few games.

When Sonnia turns other models into Witchling Stalkers I use my puppet Stalkers. It demoralizes my enemy

I approve!

Question..

Can I put the puppet wars figs on the right size Malifaux bases and use them in an official event (say like at gencon)?

I know.. very limited but oh so tempting..

There are no worthless models, only crappy flips.

EDIT: Oh, there's also cheesy opponents, of course.

And those crappy flips come up when you awesome model should be able to do something easily but can't now and, as such, becomes a useless model. It's the circle of life!

My friend just sent that to me.. and my first thought was.. Uh oh.. I'm going to regret this..

But that was Awesome!

So there's no confusion...

Kirai’s Spirit Anchor places a new Seishin into play. It does not relocate a Seishin already in play.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Take that, Kirai!

Kirai says No!
