I'm brand new to miniatures and the combination of low(er) cost, fast(er) game play and an awesome setting have lured me to Malifaux. The problem is I'm not sure which faction, master and crew would be right for me. So, here is a short list of the things I enjoy when I'm playing any game:
1. Play styles that involve thinking outside the box. Yay creativity!
2. Mitigating randomness. Nothing irks me more than winning or losing by sheer chance.
3. Easy to learn, hard to master strategy (eg. chess).
4. Anything Lovecraftian in flavor or style. More insanity, viscera and misanthropy please!
Thank you ahead of time for all of your suggestions!
