Birdies, Weasels, Foxes oh my! Well to keep with the theme of "loved to see" I'd love having a set of game pieces for the tokens. Like little work benches and impassible terrain tokens. Combined with some variant boards and maybe some cool item rules and scenarios (we have the sticky fingers rule allready so) THAT would be great!

I had my reservations before buying into P-Wars however being of a minis gaming and ccg background I "settled" playing boardgames with my girlfriend. PW however is that perfect blend to that, mini's, more in depth play and crew building (if desired) but still easy enough to just play with non-tabletop gamers. The fact that some puppets youd want to have multiple copies off come in different packs isnt bothering me nearly as much as randomized ccg concepts. I know how I can get to the things I want, as such its managable to an extend of choosing to buy that extra box for your dream crew or not without having to throw money at it "in the hopes of getting that which you want in a random pack". So I present to you the game that provides the "gaming geek" with his fix of gaming depth while being perfectly able to play with "casual gamers". I can play my GF for a casual fun match or go hardcore with a mate of mine and customized combo laden crews.

Haha good to hear your Avian friend is might or might not be hinting at the possibility of more puppety stuff! Offcourse, if birdies tweet stuff not NDA'd then I say this would be a place to share. Its cool though to hear that Wyrd has commited to this and isnt going to drop it onto a "slow burner which never really comes to cooking" or shall I say stuff for "Specialist game(er)s" cuz that would just be so not doing this game justice! I have faith thou that they wont reading this all and seeing how Wyrd approaches its product so far.

So we have seen the Poll's coming up on expansion masters and offcourse the fact that Vikky and Hoody are going to be released in "normal" editions. Though is there anything as far as an expansion sheduled? Any word on P-Wars future?

Seconded! Just reading about it got me all psyched to play!

I definetly hope they are going for a second wave and the game is selling down to zero at brilliant rates, hope we can get official word on the future plans (even just telling when they re-stock or if its going to get a "second printing" including errata) if there are any concrete plans for wave 2 etc. Would be great to know certainly for player thinking of buying in to the game.

Ah cool! Just thought it might be kind of foreboding that the Wyrd store itself doesnt have any stock. could be either "not great enough a hit for a reprint\restock" OR "we cant get enough stock it sells out before we can even stock it". Merely wondering

Visiting the Wyrd shop it seems the Pwars starter is out of stock is the game such a hit that stock went out like stitching on a punk zombie? Or is this something that happens every x weeks or so? Psyched to get into Pwars!

Yeah, what Im most enthousiastic about is the fact you can do casual play aswell as some more in-depth games where you build your toybox around certain synergies etc. . Makes it appeal to both casual and hobby gamers.

Yup it makes for alot of upgradable goodness, but having her lurch over the board seems to me like a really powerfull little trick to use. Another combination that might prove usefull: Having a Mature Nephalim fly up and wack stuff to move forward another square. Would your target still live the Austringer's Bird can still target it and take it out (especially when using Lady J. as a Master to add some Powerfull counters). Offcourse there are those build in Combi's like Gideon + Crime Fighters like the Guild Hounds and such but I wanted to look at combi's between different suits.

Argh yeah forgot about that one . Here are some combo's with names to match: Trojan Buttons: Rusty Alyce + Moleman + Frog LEgs If you encounter any nasty Impassible Terrain tokens (there are players out there allready posting maps containing entire fortresses) then Activate the Moleman, have it dig in at an Impassible Token and then catapult Rusty Alyce over there with her "Magnetic" ability then still being able to move another 2. Thats before you get any Multitasking upgrade (like "Coils"). Alyce becomes a really nice Assasin with the 2 Range and "Dissasemble" . Thats just one I wrote down, I'm sure to have found more but I'll leave your creativity to it!

Oh me god, That would mean a Resurrectionist kid with a gasmask asking if I'm his mommy! *Shudders*

I feel a big need to be compensated hehe....

Great! Then I dont have to worry on my statement of painting them They can be painted propperly then Thanks for the Reply Eric!

Noted and copywritten

Okay guys don't panic, we are talking about minis in the topic title. Does anyone have an indication of the puppets sizes? 15mm or more akin to small Malifaux models like the Spiders, Horcat etc?

Can you tell us a bit more about the way they fit in? Considering the different color bases the puppets would move around quite a bit with new bases as we maje new toyboxes. Wondering how the bases would hold up to that?

I actually wonder about the size of the puppets. Will they be 15mm ish? Or more akin to the "Smaller" malifaux models?

Picking up on that idea I would say make them alternate sculpts, that way you buy them for pure fun. I liked the collectible aspect of some ccg's altough it limited things. A random booster type for alt. Sculpts though would not break any gameplay and still nets you the "weeee, look what I got"! Pawns as common, sidekicks uncommon, masters rare. You can get the minis in the pre constructed boxes, just different sculpts in the booster format. Just my 2 cents.

Decks are ofcourse sold seperately, don't know if it's a bad thing, 2 decks is enough for those who just want the extra Masters. Offcourse adding the decks would be nice, but then again adding those to the box would also add up on the price tag. Now the box is more multi purpose and less "redundant" extra's when using it for the extra masters.

The Multi Player pack gives you extra Masters to get your Puppet fetish going even further Syngergies *drool*. But seriously, I believe that Multiplayer is a worthwhile style of play, for one you can't sit back and watch the stuffing fly, Workbenches make for a really pro-active approach to bashing eachothers buttons out while keeping play fast enough with alternating model activations .

Postal services do, not Wyrd, they only take money for precious metal

So the Online shop will also have a pre-sale at the Gencon time? Great! If I understood correctly the Online store will send out at a flat fee so no uberdiculous charges for Europe

Toying around with the core box puppets and Masters I have to say that there are so many little twisty synergies without ever adding expansions. Bravo Wyrd! I'll edit this post with some "stuff" I found. Feel free though to add your combos!

I dont know about you guys but I for one have certain playlists for my gaming nights. For instance if we play Warmachine I play some of Abney Park's Steampunk songs, so I was pondering what would fit Puppet wars...But thats when some sense of hyperactive imagination struck and I thought about a little textual change in the lyrics of this song: Sarah Brightman: "Just show me how to stuff you" [ame] [/ame] Somehow I am looking at Seamus and Lady J in a duet... Don't complain for throwing away precious minutes of your time reading this...I warned you fair and square .
