Personally I'd run demos at 25pts, as the first thing most players will buy is a box, which often runs quite good at 25pts.

Lower than that and I wouldn't say you're giving the whole experience of the game.

On Lacroix: To be fair, pronouncing a written french word you've never heard before is a bit like banging your head against a wall.

Like in this case, the "x" is just there to confuse and enrage you. :-P

Much due to the discussion of the red joker going on in the general forum, I realized that I don't really get the rules of flipping the red joker for damage.

I get the initial interaction with negative flips and such, it's the extra damage flip I don't get.

So, does the extra damage flip suffer the same twists as the first? If no, which twists apply, combat total, HtW, twists from the weapon you were using or none at all?

...a well written and obviously experienced understanding of Malifaux?

Why thank you kind sir.

Further question:

In a Kirai vs. Kirai battle, could you place an enemy seishin that's on the board with spirit anchor?

Now, I'm actually reasonably sure that the intent behind Spirit Anchor is to give you new seishins, but the use of "place" confuses me.

Place moves things, sometimes it moves things that are not on the board onto the board, like killjoy and bete noir, but they're things you've paid the ss for already, they just don't deploy normally.

So the rule, for the uninitiated, reads like you can place one of the seishins you already have in B2B with Kirai, tell me why I'm wrong, please?
