Can I join the poets club? Little one how awful your life must be To dream the dreams you always see You look at the nightmares and never fear It’s just dreams to you, or so I hear Your friend is not the peaceful kind He kills and flays, he wants your mind The best friend you have in the dead of night He will not yield till he wins the fight But little one these are not just dreams Here you inflict horror, pain and screams And if you don’t wake up to behold and see I hope and pray that you’ll never dream of me

Dear All, I am completely new to Malifaux and have just ordered my first Crew (The Dreamer and friends) so now I am looking for advice. I have ordered the following with the purpose of playing 35ss scraps (my friend who got me into this prefers 35ss as opposed to 25ss) Bad Dreams Box Daydreams Teddy This should allow me to play 35ss with all my models except maybe a Daydream (soul stone cache 6 or 8 depending on whether I take 3 or 2 Daydreams). My question is this: Where should I start tactics-wise as in what should I focus on learning to do properly first?

As someone else have already pointed out the Deadlands system, especially Reloaded which have adopted the Savage Worlds system could easily handle Malifaux as a setting with small adjustments to the rules. The system already have a card mechanic which could have an added mechanic for triggers based on suits in the initiative and the bennies / fate chips mechanic could be modified to be used for soul stones. The base rules are fairly simple (all of the mechanics are contained in a A5 sized rule book that's about a 1/3 of an inch thick with adjustments to the rules found in settings books (of which Deadlands Reloaded is one) so all that would be needed is a settings book for Malifaux.
