  1. Monthly release on penny dreadful would be so great. Or just minnie adventures in the monthly ezine...
  2. Well, I snagged the card images from the Vassal Module and imported them into Roll20 and it works flippin fantastic. I'm not sure how to go about making a character sheet on there though; it seems a bit above my level of programing. Here is a link to the instructions for it, though, if anyone wants to check it out LINK. Anyone come up with an idea to play TTB via forum post or email yet? I love the setting so much, I'm almost ready to just come up with a way to convert everything to Open D6.
  3. I absolutely flippin love Through the Breach. It's by far the best RP book and setting I've read and have become obsessed with since Dream Pod 9's Tribe 8. However, since I work out in the middle of nowhere Texas and live on site with no one around but my one coworker, I heavily rely on the internet for communication and playing games. I've used Roll20.net in the past and love it but, I feel like it's shines brightest when at least playing with voice chat. Their system would work great with TTB considering the advancements they've made with their card deck system so, if anyone is looking to play online, definitely take a look there! However, I'm more-so looking for a way to play via a forum or through email, considering I'm on a limited data connection (5gb of 4g a month can go quick!) and I'm having a hard time imagining how that'd work considering the card flipping mechanics. There are sites out there with built in die rollers but, I haven't seen anything for a card deck before... Does anyone have an idea how this might work? Wyrd, you guys are incredibly supportive of the community, maybe someone could program a sub-page with a built in fate and a few twist decks? Maybe someone could modify the Malifaux Vassal Module allowing for say, 8 players, each with their own deck (to create their twist decks from), and maybe built in character sheets!
  4. I will absolutely be running one in the coming months after I read everything (I just got the books at GenCon) and get settled in (I just moved across the country). I've ran a few games on there now (OpenD6, not TtB) and I love it; works perfectly!
  5. Me me me! I'm in! Ohhhh...and thanks for the link, E.
  6. Yep! Which is why the Guild is flippin out and doing what they can to not lose their grip on the way they've manipulated the social structure of Malifaux. A part of the story I love the most...the powerful oppressive group slowly loosing their seat by the common folk standing up to them. That's what I get out of it anyway.
  7. Thanks for the feeback!! Yeh, I actually polished it up quite a bit from the tense changes and such before I had posted it here...I guess it was pretty bad, haha. Congrats on your story!!
  8. I've been doing various pbps over the years as well and would love the opportunity to be in one as a player set in the Malifaux universe! I'm actually working on putting together one to run as well!
  9. Yeh, I've only read the 1.5 book and I don't think it gives a state or anything. I'm pretty certain it's located in the US out West though. I always figured Arizona. -D I think that'd make sense for the time period with all the Asian influences and rail working.
  10. I might also pick up Teddy to go along with Baby Kade; they work really well together. Pandora's Poltergeist is a good addition since it kinda acts as an arc node. Pandora is all I've ever really played with and those are the models I've been using most so, yeh. Personally, I really want to pick up the Arcanist Ramos...I really love the steamed punkiness of his crew.
  11. I'll be getting there pretty early (4, I hope) to teach my buddy Derrick to play. We'll be using the M2E rules. I was thinking, however, if anyone is interested, it'd be good to try and get together on Saturdays since the rules updates are going to be coming out on Thursdays...this way it'll give us all a chance to go over the updates then test them out on Saturday and report back through the week till the following thursday... Yep.
  12. I finished basing my entire Pandora starter and took some photos, hope you guys like! I also tried to get some decent close ups of the wooden bases I made with popsicle sticks and some watered down brown and black paint... The rest of the album is here: http://www.wyrd-games.net/album.php?albumid=434
  13. Yeh, absolutely! I'm pretty excited about how they turned out! I'll be uploading the rest of the starter probably tomorrow after I finish gluing them down. Baby Kade was a test run so, just have to finish the rest now. ---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ---------- Hmm...did you try just refreshing? It seems to be working for the other people I've shared the link to and they aren't even signed up for the forum. Or...maybe that's it?
  14. I've been gaming for ages now and haven't ever really felt compelled to paint my minis until I found Malifaux about 3 months ago so, heres what'd I've been up to... I just finished the base last night using some popsicle sticks I cut in half. Actually turned out pretty awesome, I think! Will be updated as I finish more. Here is a link to my Album here on the forums... http://www.wyrd-games.net/album.php?u=13001
  15. Current Projects Reading and testing M2E If anyone wants to get together Saturdays in the Joliet, IL area, let me know! This way we can play with the most up to date rules and test them!

  16. Figured I'd start a thread here to post my battle reports. I'm new to Malifaux, only been playing a couple months and, I've only played...5 games, I think? So, I don't have much for now but... Report 1. This was my first ever game of Malifaux. Played at The Wandering Dragon in Plainfield, IL; a really terrific store. Since I was a newb, the guy I was playing, Raul, set me up with Lady J while he played Lilith... (taken from my post HERE.) I Booted Baby Kade off the central platform (we were playing a king of the hill type scenerio). Layed waste to those nasty little black blooded baby Nephilim after I snatched there Wicked Doll from out of their claws. Though...with that, the black blood ended up wiping out half my crew in the end...at least they brought their own coffins. ---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ---------- Report 2. Taken from my original post HERE. Pandora Vs. The Viks, and it was pretty brutal with a LOT of bloodshed. The Strategy was Shared Claim Jump with both of us reaching the center of the area pretty swiftly. Misaki drew First Blood along with Taelor, pounding poor Baby Kade and his sorrow into pudding. Though, not without each of the girls starting to feel a bit down about the whole ordeal (losing WP Duels). One of the Viks must have been having a really hard day because she wasn't much good at doing anything but cutting herself (Self-Loathing); must have had a hard break up the night before but, what do you expect? Although a Ronan managed to get a head shot in on poor little Candy, they were no match for the horrors they had just witnessed and dispatched themselves swiftly enough as well although, now that I think about it...I believe Viktoria was responsible for one of their decline (Sacrifice). In the end all that remained was Pandora and Misaki...Viktoria's sister took off running like the sword wielding coward she really is deep inside (Mental Anguish). Although Pandora did manage to Spread Madness, she couldn't quite make the claim and, well, those sword wielding ladies definitely stood firm (Hold Out). So, Outcasts won 4 to 2! Mainly because Outcasts have proven themselves to be heartless! Poor lil' Kade n' Candy...they weren't hurtin' anybody...
  17. Yep, dive into M2E!! I got into Malifaux about 3 months ago and most of my friends have been holding off on getting into it because we all knew the changes were coming. Now that they're here...It's a great time!! Everyone is learning the new rules together so, it's fantastic to be on the same level as everyone else.
  18. Well, when I pasted the document from my writing program to here the formatting got all messed up...
  19. Shew! Last edit with a minute to spare!! Haha, g'luck everyone! http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?43055-IronQuill-Ashes-to-Ashes-Mary-s-Sweet-Children
  20. Had an awesome game last night here, Pandora Vs. The Viks, and it was pretty brutal with a LOT of bloodshed. The Strategy was Shared Claim Jump with both of us reaching the center of the area pretty swiftly. Misaki drew First Blood along with Taelor, pounding poor Baby Kade and his sorrow into pudding. Though, not without each of the girls starting to feel a bit down about the whole ordeal (losing WP Duels).

  21. Gah! Really, *headdesk!* I've been going crazy thinking today was the last day!!! Hahahaha...alright well, I just posted my thread...I guess I can relax now and edit it better tomorrow!
  22. "We got it, check it out!" Michael said, clutching his grandfather’s knife, which was kept in a chest in his parent’s closet. It had a heavy straight blade made from iron. The rough hammering it took to make many years ago could still easily be made out. The handle was bound in simple leather, scratched and wearing towards the lower end. Although it had certainly seen better days, one thing clearly stood out. There was a small pearly Soulstone forged in a cage right in the hilt. "I still don't see why you had to bring it. If your dad finds out, we're all going to get it!" Kylie said, snatching it from Michael's hand. "I told you, it's for defense!There's no telling what we're going to see down there." Michael replied, taking the knife back. "We've all heard the stories..." Andrew spoke up, "...noises, sometimes screaming.” He rummaged through a scrap heap of metal and pulled out a section of pipe. Nearly as long as he is tall, one end had a rather aggressive bend in it. "Then why are you bringing that!?" Kylie challenged. Rolling his eyes at Kylie, Andrew took a swing with the pipe. The cardboard box he hit flew toward a pile of pulp,bursting into a cloud of dust. The Old Paper Mill was at the edge of Malifaux's Slums, East of the polluted and soot ridden Industrial Zone. It had been a playground for the children growing up in the area. Their parents worked hard in the catacombs that were Malifaux’s sewage system. A system in which always seemed to be backed up by the experiments from the outlawed Resurrectionist. That or the robust rail way that transported not only the rare ore the land has become known for, but was also the safest, fastest way across Malifaux. "I dunno..." ~~~~~ The Mill seemed massive to the little legs of the children. It was a long walk to the other side. The rumor had been that terror awaits those that entered the forbidden area. Past the barricade made up of pallets and barbed wire, the area seems to fade into a whole other realm. The sun basked Mill became a darkened place, a corridor leading to,well, that's exactly what the kids were going to find out! "Are you sure you want to dot his?" Andrew said, turning to Angela, the youngest of the crew who, for as long as the children played together, never said a word. "We can still turn back if you want." Angela shook her head and reached out for Kylie's hand, pulling her down the corridor. Michael was already working on a chain that was holding the two large doors closed; yanking and twisting a large metal bar between the links. "You guys, come and help, will ya?!" Andrew shrugged and followed behind hesitantly. He was trying to be tough in front of the little girl, he really was quite frightened. Angela placed her ear to one of the doors and made a silencing motion to Michael, hushing him so she could hear over his struggling. He stopped moving and, faintly, music could be heard coming from the other side. Pointing excitedly, Angela's eyes widened with a smile as she jumped up and down at the sound of a stringed instrument. "We hear it too!" Kylie said and stepped up; placing a hand on the bar Michael was working with. "Yeah, why is there music playing all the way down here?" Andrew kept his back turned, facing the light from where they had come. Mike gripped the bar again and planted his feet. "Kylie, pull down, I'll push,come on. We have to keep going now!" He pushed up with all his might as Kylie pulled, putting all of her 6 stone onto the bar. With a loud metallic snap, the chain gave way causing her to fall to her knee. The bar came crashing down with the chain. If anyone else was in the Mill and weren't aware of the children, they certainly knew now. With a slow grinding creak, the door swung open. A soft mist fell, pouring out and coated the ground around the children's feet. With a glance towards one another, they knew there was no turning back. Michael readied his father's knife, Andrew held on tight to the pipe he took from the stash, and always the brave one; Kylie lead the way reassuringly holding Angela’s hand. Hunched over and silent, they explored the new area with curious intent. The music drew them in, the deep strings humming hypnotically as they played softly through the corridors. Winding around, causing the kids to turn at numerous intersections, climbing up and down ladders and stairways, the Mill transformed from a once, haven of play to a dark labyrinth of eerie fog. Angela pointed up ahead and tugged on Kylie's blouse. Through the fog, looking closely, seen could be two soft green orbs floating about. They moved slowly to and fro, a moment later another pair appeared, moving in unison. Kylie held her arm out halting the young adventuring party. "You guys see what I'm seeing?" She said in a whisper. Michael leaned forward, squinting slowly to adjust his eyes to the darkness ahead, trying to catch glimpse of anything the soft glow from the orbs were making. A moment later his knees buckled as his jaw dropped. "They...They're kids!" He said frighteningly as Andrew turned to look over him. Angela hid her eyes in Kylie's side as she started to back away. Andrew grabbed the shoulder of Michael, who was stunned with horror, tugging him back. The four children turned and began speedily making their way back from where they came. Angela darted off ahead and took to one direction, at a puzzling intersection; the others followed but they were no match for Angela's tiny legs carrying her like the wind. "Angela, wait!" Kylie called out. None of the children but Michael caught such a close eye on the creatures that had been ahead of them; the orbs,they weren't eyes but the twisted souls of what used to be the children, sickly glowing inside of the eyeless, lifeless husks their own age. They shuffled forward, swaying with the sound of the music coming from somewhere within this darkened, place. "Ange! Ange, I can't see you,where are you?!" Kylie shouted, having lost sight of the little girl. They found themselves in the center of an intersection calling out for her together each looking desperately inside themselves for the best direction to go when suddenly from each direction the music as echoing and the orbs grew by the numbers. Leading the way from one direction was little Angela holding a shard of metal in one hand followed by three more pairs of eyes. A woman approached from the other with a Violin in her hands,she raised it and played the strings beautifully and, as she did the children,Michael, Andrew and Kylie all fell weak. Their souls began to writhe from inside and they too felt themselves becoming one of them. Having an affinity with the ancient blade that had been in his Acranist family for over a century, Leonard knew there was trouble. Gripping his massive rail hammer he took to the catacombs near the rail he was working, telling his companion that there was trouble near the Old Mill and to get Ramos. Leonard knew the catacombs well and his chimeric eyes guided him through the thick fog with ease, following the eerie, distant sound of a violin playing a darkened melody. There they were,Michael and his friends, standing in the center of an intersection, one direction heading straight into the Quarantine Zone. A woman stood in the corridor, her necromantic music controlling the children that surrounded his son and his friends. Without hesitation Leonard shoved the boy and his friends down,snatching the heavy knife from his hands and tossing it in the air. It hovered and spun by the hilt where the stone was caged for a moment before finding its trajectory and darting at the woman. She ripped into the strings and one of her deformed undead automatons jumped in the way, taking the knife straight into its chest. Not my boy, witch! Leonard shouted and dove at the woman. Cocking back his mechanical arm, a work of Ramos' strange expertise after a similar run in with the vile coming from the Zone, he slammed another of her zombie children to the ground. He gripped a wrench from his belt and burst the empty skull cavity of another. In the midst of the short confrontation Angela darted off behind the woman who, in a magical fog, began to fade down the corridor. This conflict was over but, it was just the beginning of a new Resurrectionist making her mark in the area. One that Leonard would not forgive. End. I think about 1498 words, the '~~~~~' are counting as words so, somewhere around there. Used the Violin for my new Resurrectionist Master, Mary, who will be featured in my RP campaign (can't wait till it comes out!!!!). I also managed to work in the line 'sure you wanna do this' and, haphazardly, the One-Armed Man, Michael's father who was in a rail line accident. -D Enjoy!
  23. Ugh...I'm out. It's 22:55 and I'm still trying to edit my work down to 1500 words from about 3000. Sorry, guys, next time for sure. I'll still upload what I have but, eh well. SCRATCH THE 'I'M OUT' PART!!! Below is the link to my post, thank you!! http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?43055-IronQuill-Ashes-to-Ashes-Mary-s-Sweet-Children g'luck everyone!
