Okay guys, as the title suggests I'm seriously considering jumping into Malifaux. I don't have anyone to play against where I currently am but in the very near future I'll be moving back to the DC area and hopefully to more opponents :bigthumb:
So my first question is obviously: What all do I need to start with. Is the rulebook and a deck of cards plus one starter box enough to get me going? I'd imagine so but I want to double check!
Also, there is the question of which box to get. In games I tend to favor two things mostly: Speed and debuffing (or hexing or what-have-you). It seems like Zoraida would be a good choice for this (also how could I not love exclaiming "and now ol' saggy-bags moves over here"). How important is it to keep "in faction?" I'm not particularly interested in the other Neverborn masters. The other three that I find interesting are Rasputina, Marcus (though it seems I should save him until I've learned the game) and Kirai.
If building up a particular faction isn't a huge deal then I can just jump around but if it IS then that would certainly come into play on my decision.
Thanks for reading everyone. I look forward to your responses!
Zac
