I think this is an excellent idea and wish to join.

It doesn't really seem like that contentious of a topic to me.

With a dwindling randomizer, it's not so much lucky as inevitable, assuming the Red Joker is still in the deck. As to simulation, it's a very important part of any miniatures game, but if that game wants to have a competitive atmosphere, it needs to put design ahead of simulation when the two lock horns. A side discussion for another day would be "Does Malifaux want or need a competitive scene?"

Nice work on the win!

Thank you.

"Friendly models ignore cover modifiers when targeting a model within 4" of this model." This one came up in the last Scrap. I suspect it's nothing, but wouldn't mind an official word. Does this ability work for friendly models within 4" of the Watcher, or when the Watcher is within 4" of the model being targeted?

One of the things that really drew me to Malifaux, besides my friends, was the card mechanic. The Red Joker and Black Joker, when in the deck, add a very small factor of uncertainty. This is can be a lot of fun. I groan when my 3+T attack yields no damage, and roar when my negative flip turns out to be an utter success. However, it's easy to see why the Red Joker on a negative flip is not always the same as a Black Joker on a positive flip, as the outcomes depend entirely on the situation. Furthermore, this is the real question behind this discussion, namely "Does the Red Joker on a negative flip work to undermine the purpose of the Negative Twist"? I haven't played enough to have a definitive answer, but this discussion seems like it deserves a more critical eye than just "no" or "yes" answers. Personally, I feel really cheated when the Jokers are able to circumnavigate my defenses in a way that models who do not rely on twist protection do not suffer from. That's feeling though, and not evidence of whether or not the system works. Where are this board's card math experts?

Thanks! I'll probably be confined to Southern/Central Illinois for the time being, but if I ever make it up to your neck of the woods, I'll stop by for a game.

Hi there! My name is Scott, and I have just gotten into Malifaux. This game is a lot of fun, and I cannot wait to start collecting stuff for my crew. I was originally interested in Sonnia Criid, but a friend loaned me his C. Hoffman crew and now I'm hooked. A few things about me: I live in Pekin, IL, and I work nights in East Peoria as a hotel clerk, so you'll probably find my posts appearing overnight. I'm a solitary Wiccan. My religion is a huge part of my life, and I don't mind answering questions about it.
