A lot of it is just visual, TTS is essentially a 3d physics sim which places a virtual table (literally) in front of you. But to say it was just a 3d tabletop would be doing it a disservice. All players can interact with the objects on the table, physically picking them up and moving them around (though they can be locked in place easily). It's mostly oriented towards the board game and RPG community but it wouldn't take much to use it very effectively for skirmish war games like Malifaux. The main advantage it has over Vassal it that it's a step closer to physically playing the game. Being able to physically pick up and move your pieces feels great, it's a pretty slick interface that's easy to learn and has some powerful functionality built in. It handles decks of cards great, single click to pickup a card, hold to pickup the deck, shake your cursor while holding the deck to shuffle, rotate with the mousewheel or flip a card by pushing 'F'. It's not quite as precise as I remember Vassal being, you can't step your pieces along inch by inch or display a range circle around a model but you can measure a line just by holding tab and moving the cursor. It's also fully integrated into the Steam Workshop and it's fairly easy to create your own content. Even if not for Malifaux I'd recommend checking it out, it's early access at the moment so there should be more features to come before a 1.0 release.

Hi guys! A mate and I just got a copy of Tabletop Simulator on Steam and I've been itching to see if anyone on here would be interested in a Malifaux mod. I've created a custom Malifaux deck of cards to use for a fate deck and for minis I plan on using pics of the appropriate minis which TTS usues to make a paper figure stand. As long as each player owns the cards for the models he plans on using all that is left is terrain. There is a basic dungeon tileset included with TTS but if anyone knows their way around 3D modelling I'm sure something better can be put together. Before I post it to the Steam Workshop I'd really like to ask permission from the relevent people at Wyrd so if someone knows who I should ask or if you are the person I speaking to please speak up, I really think TTS has a lot of potential for long distance Malifaux. Thanks!

Cheers for the response guys, I thought that might be the case...

Q: Can a model use more than one soulstone to reduce damage from a single attack and iff so can they be declared one after the other or should they all be declared simultaneously? eg: I take 5 damage from an attack, I use a SS for damage reduction and remove 2 damage, can I then nominate to use a second soulstone, then a third etc until all damage is removed?
