I noticed that Cobbled, Amalgam and Totem are missing rank values.(Into the Steam pages 79 and 103) Is this intentional or has there been a mishap since most of the other NPCs have ranks?

I knew something like this was coming up, now it's only matter of time until my other predictions from Commander reveal are proven to be true. Still, looks like a fun Pursuit if players are given enough space to work with(in dungeons or caves however that may not be the case).

I just want to play Commander with few lackeys and own small gang with attitude of: Man bumps into one of us. We corner him at alley and extort him. "You're gonna pay for that.... That'll be 2 Pence." "Wow. Two pence. Whacha gonna do with da money boss?" "We are gonna get ourselves our hard earned cups of coffee." then I proceed to go some bar and order a cup of coffee, while my minions pay for they own glasses of water. Then go through oscar worthy display of emotions as they die, but get over it in few minutes and start looking for new goons who'll help me get my espresso money. On the hand. My predictions for few pursuits: -Anti magic pursuit that causes effects on characters that cast near it and removes suits etc. -Some type of order/justice pursuit which punishes "evil" acts and removes conditions. -Academic 2.0 type caster with rules and regulations as power source. -Sniper pursuit, now that the 2E removed the rifle talents from Mercenary or tracker of some sorts. -Treasure hunter, something between new mercenary and Pioneer. -Noble, some type of social pursuit which gains bonuses from looking good and having money. -Executioner

And for that reason I see it extremely clever if Wyrd splices TT into other books. That would fit perfectly the faction and currently there already is at least 3 basic pursuits that could fit TT: Infiltrator(Into the steam), Ghost eater(Under quarantine) and Boozer(Into the bayou).

Just imagining the Invested Ht3 construct going Playing possum warms my heart. Now I wonder what the remaining 6 pursuits are going to be.

Well that is certainly must have model. Also, I wonder what corpse candle looks like..

And just when I thought I almost had all the masters I wanted.... Well, bye bye money. +The fact she is Undead and stuff I'm hoping for Autumn knight models. Edit: Also Titania will be painted with A.B.A theme

Under quarantine book has information of things in the quarantine zone as well as the segments it is divided in.

Simple question: Do minions taken with Sycophant talent(ITS) require player to take command action in order to activate like other subordinates? I'm asking this since it says they are controlled by the Fatemaster.

If we are going by the number of pursuits that might come, previous two both expansions had 8 basic pursuits and 5 Advanced pursuits, so there quite likely may be 13 pursuits in total. Also the new Tarot flipping may be from up towards down (since the flow of water and stuff)

You people have made your point, it didn't change my opinion but I get where you are coming from. But I wonder if the character featured in free manual is a mercenary? For some reason it also rings to me as Blacksheep.

I mean it only as book with everything about a specific faction instead of going through three(soon four) books to see what they have, single book is easier to carry than three and not everyone has the stat cards in their pocket when you want to look something up. All major things would of course be the same but just something small, like story about how MC Mourning acts as a guild master in the line of duty or how Brewmaster and Som'er compete on moonshine production. Gamewise there would not be anything new or revolutionary, just a book with all of factions characters, stats and upgrades.

As an idea for players(especially for new ones) that seems great, but as a business practice it would be horrible. Sure many people would use them and proxy models from other games like Warmachine, but most would likely just quit after few tries or keep using proxies which is money off from Wyrd. It gives slight commitment to get that box along with the stat cards and now that the rules are free the leap to make is much shorter. But each faction getting their own "Codex" type book with all models for that faction and some new stories would be nice, something extra to read deeper into your favourite faction.

I believe sentient means in this context a creature not capable of deeper thought or ability to make clear choices. While uncontrolled they would act as feral animals that hunt for food and attack living (or maybe Construct and even Undead) creatures they can find and catch. Some of them however like Belles retain slight remains of their former life and use it to their advantage, hence they use Lure. So once the 10 minute limit of control time is up, they would most likely turn on their creator unless he re-controls them or has other ways of avoiding their murderous intents. To create a sentient undead you would require some powerful magic and/or soulstones which is why they are rare and unique. (Creating a sentient Undead is also one of the requirements to advancing to the Grave servant advanced pursuit) Also from what I gather, the uncontrolled undead tend swarm (if stronger zombie doesn't eat the rest) which makes moving in the quarantine zone or other places where they might end up a dangerous trip. Scenario: You see a zombie. You shoot a zombie. Other zombies hear the gunshot. Aaand now you are fighting against mindless horde that currently only wants to tear you to pieces.

Also one(or three) of the Dragons may have some connections to Wong's magic Three demon bag. Or maybe its just some ancient like Hungering darkness.

For abilities that require Wk or Cg stats it would be nice to have representing values. With destiny steps quite weird stuff can come up, like Lure or other abilities from Malifaux.

You are faced with guild austringer, he is 20 yards from you and you have heard how deadly the raptor he is accompanied can be. He sends the majestic bird at you and now you only have 9 turns before it gets you..... wait what? So... In the Fate master's almanac (page 137) Austringer's raptor has some peculiar stats with Walk 1 and Charge 4. Meanwhile the Raptor from Into the steam (page 225) has Walk 6 and Charge 7. Do austringers feed their birds too much or has there been an mistake? This also has ruined the image I have of the Austringers in Malifaux, instead of raptor taking off and striking from the sky, I now see them walking to enemy at leisurely pace like a pigeon would.

Thing that crossed my mind is also the possibility for mounts since gremlins are known to ride pigs and roosters. (or if not now then maybe in "In the guild wars" book) Some pursuits that came to my mind are Mancha Roja type brawler, don't know how the mechanics would work besides changing masks Or maybe even McTavish type gator whisperer as an more evolved version of Pioneer and Primal. There may also be some general talents to resist or negate diseases since bayou is full of them or maybe even a new skills like dungeoneering since there are ruins etc. around the bayou. From weaponry standpoint Culinary toolkit that works as a melee weapon would fit the mah tucket wannabes or there may even be a chef type pursuit. If the gremlin weaponry would be added with forced triggers they have in Malifaux, there even may be a way to enhance the weapons and remove unwanted triggers.

Currently in my group players have accepted that some things in the rules cannot be bent. I cannot give one person the right to shoot in combat without Gunfighter talent because that would mean whole lot of trouble later when someone gets their super mega death pistol with 7/10/12 damage or something like that and then just go "Well you let that guy shoot in combat, why can't I?" House rules are fine and I don't dismiss others for using them (as I tend to use them) but if you do house rule one of the core elements: No shooting in the melee. there might come huge problems later and players will feel cheated if you go back on your words. Also, let's say Chemist has a Alchemy toolkit which he described as bag of dust and vial. How does he go and throw infinite amounts of Flasks of formaldehyde? or even if the toolkit is a kit full of chemicals and such, how can he have infinite space in there to hold those flasks of formaldehyde?(unless it is a purse) My main point is, rules are rules and they are made to balance things out. In Dark heresy human might survive plasma cannon shot to the face from point blank. + what Solkan and Mason said.

good to know and thanks for quick answer.

I have a question regarding the ghouls and their grim feast. It says "Living or Undead character of Minion rank or z higher", so how much is the Z?

Now that the Bayou book has had a preview of Bokor, I thought of beginning topic on people's thoughts of what it may include. My guess is that once again there will be Pursuit based of most masters or single master split into two pursuits. Bokor being Zoraida type manipulator. Also I can see Moon shinobi/Fermented river monk being one of the new Advance pursuits. Gremlin weapons most likely also make their entrance and there may be weapons with built in triggers like Ricochet. Any guesses what may come? Feel free to share.

just when I got my hands on the Quarantine book this shows up. well hope this one gets published soon, also I suspect that Bokor may be Zoraida/Sammy type pursuit. Other books besides core have had new pursuits mainly as RP versions of masters(some divided into multiple pursuits) so we may have things like Ulix/Hog whisperer type support coming up. Also two pursuits may come from Mah Tucket or Bushwacker origins and maybe even some Moon shinobi or weird firework Advanced pursuit.

Good to see that both sides of breach have awesome characters/models. Now I need to device a plan for spending money between two games.

Loving all that is coming up and i'll be sure to get Aionus, but I was hoping for TtB:Quarantine zone book.
