I run the new app on my chromebook, but then again it is also a newer model that has the Play Store/Android shard built in - and a touch screen - depending on the age of your chromebook you may be able to get it running.

Companies can only make predictions based on what the distributors they work with tell them. Even if Wyrd thought that the numbers they were being told were under, they can't risk ordering a lot more simply because of the costs associated with storing excess stock etc. more than a few gaming companies have gone under through ordering way too much stock to meet an anticipated demand that just wasn't there. My guess would be that they ordered somewhere between the two figures (their estimated figure and the distributors ordered figure) to try and make a balance. At least the core rules are available as a free PDF!

It runs perfectly fine on my Chromebook - but then I only bought it this year (so it's able to run anything available through Google Play...mostly) Otherwise we just have to wait for the web-based version to be available

I'm pretty sure I can spare one of mine (I have 4). PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail for you sometime in the next week or so. It will probably take about 2 weeks after I post it to arrive though as I'll be shipping from Australia (don't worry, it will only be a couple of dollars for me to send it)

I'm happy to sign up for proof-reading etc., although I wouldn't be able to provide feedback on how things play as I don't have a regular RPG group.

You're welcome - I have some of all those base styles in either square or round which is why I thought of them.

There are a few other options from both that you could look at that fit this type of aesthetic as well

Reaper's minis vary a bit in scale, however I would say that they tend to be too small to fit in well with Malifaux figures (. Without having that specific figure though I can't say definitely one way or another

I didn't have the card for him, hence why he went into Masters.

Probably the best thing to do is to click on the 'contact us' link at the bottom of this page and fill in the mispacked items form - Wyrd will send out the correct cards (you will need a photo of the contents of the box including the incorrect cards).

Unboxing done by GMChaotica showed that the hanging trees did include the 1.5 cards in the box.

From the Boss...earlier in this same thread.

How long till you need it? If you've got a few weeks (to allow for overseas shipping) pm me your address and I'll send you one (bare metal)

That is in reference to those received by Kickstarter backers Presumably they will be released to retail at some point in the future, but this hasn't been confirmed as yet.

There is some information in the TtB forums (http://wyrd-games.net/community/topic/102562-scale-of-multi-part-minis-off/) but the discussion has been a bit heated at times. At this stage we haven't heard anything about what is likely to happen in the future.

I never intended to imply that you were saying that QC and Proofreading weren't difficult - I was just pointing out that Wyrd have already made improvements to their Errata and FAQ procedure (the other point was in response to other posts in the thread). If they could find a way to hire proofreaders for books on an as-needed basis then this would be the ideal solution. @Kadeton - that is great news, hopefully this change will also reduce the cost to Wyrd (as a simpler mould should, in theory, cost less to create and there is less risk of the mould needing to be recreated due to an error).

Note that the metals can now be hard to find and are spread across 5 separate boxes (Box set, Multiplayer expanion, Pawns 1-3), and 4 are limited (Pokey Vik, Lucius, Teddy, Hooded Rider). The plastics are all from PWU.

Thanks Aaron (was just hoping you could apply pressure to the right people )

Thanks for the information Aaron - can I suggest that making sure that updates related to the Kickstarter are posted there as well may be a good idea, as lack of communication through that fora has been a bit bugbear of a lot of backers. I especially think that the news about fate decks would go down well (and the news about the female MPMs needs to be shared, but I don't know that will go down so well...)

Errata/FAQ are released bimonthly (odd months) and downloadable from http://wyrd-games.net/community/files/file/21-malifaux-2e-faq-errata/ As such, it is easier to keep up-to-date with the errata/FAQ unlike previously when you'd have to check the rules forums regularly to do so. In my experience, QC and editing are both much more difficult than they seem on the surface, and require a particular skillset to be able to do accurately and quickly - this is why it is possible to hire professional editors - which would be why some things are being missed before release (particularly things like the Arsenal Decks and figure scale)

Yes, that is evidence that they were aware of the issue at the point in time that the Gencon store launched. This is not what you claimed, which is that they were aware of the issue before sending it out. I think you're also forgetting how much impact Gencon has on a company the size of Wyrd - they basically shut down in the weeks leading up to Gencon most years, so when you add shipping 1500 packages on top of that then you are going to have a situation where it is expected that communication will be a bit limited. My final point about Rasputina and the Ronin was that odd proportions are common in the range - so relevant when people are saying it was noticeable because of this. I had my wife look at the photo of the sprues (she's not a gamer), and even after looking at it knowing there was a problem she couldn't see it. Also, the scale issues with the Ronin are completely relevant, as it took Wyrd a few weeks (months?) to acknowledge there was a problem, then it wasn't until February that it was resolved for early purchasers.

It's sold out - we have to wait for retail release to get it now.

I think it is quite easy not to notice - I've only seen photos and it wasn't until someone pointed out the odd proportions with the legs that I noticed it - and it was a few days after reports of receipt started coming in that anyone posted about it (there was one comment on the update announcing them, but nothing else). We have to remember that the first update about shipping was that everything was ready for the MPMs to be added to the boxes and shipped, so the MPMs probably arrived the day before they were going to ship without them and a quick check was done against the original errors rather than doing full QA on the sprues (not ideal, however not an unusual approach). When you add in that all this is going on whilst Gencon prep is taking place I think it is quite possible that something would be missed. Additionally, the proportions of Wyrd's figures have always been a bit odd sometimes (e.g. Plastic Ronin, Original Metal Rasputina).

So what proof do you have that they knew before they shipped out? Considering previous problems with scale (Viktoria's last year for example) it is quite probably that they weren't aware of the scale issue until someone posted about it - and with Gencon prep underway they haven't had time to discuss it internally. It is also quite possible that they received the MPM shipment and simply assumed that they were correct this time, added them to the boxes and started shipping - not an ideal situation but completely understandable considering the flak they've been getting already over delays. If you look at the sprues in isolation the scale issue isn't particularly noticeable, it is only when you compare assembled figures directly with M2E counterparts that it jumps out. Not appearing in the Gencon store may have multiple reasons - maybe they noticed the comments about scale and pulled them so they can have a closer look when time permits, maybe they simply didn't receive excess female MPMs (or not enough to put up for sale). There are quite a few other options as well. As EnternalVoid has said, we are likely to not see an update until they've had a chance to assess what has happened and make a decision on how they will approach it (although a comment saying that they are now aware of the issue and will advise of a decision in future would not go astray, I still wouldn't expect this until after Gencon)

They had that box last year as well... Don't remember if it stopped the whining...
