If model with Following Orders ability is obeyed by an enemy, which player draws the card? Example: Zoraida obeys Agent 46. Does Zoraida player or Lucius player draw?

Assuming Candy won the opposed willpower duels for self loathing, yes.

Does the reveal timing on the In Your Face scheme bother anyone else the way it does me? When you reveal at the end of a turn, the fact that the killed model was within 3" of a leader can no longer be verified at that time.

What happens if the move ends in engagement range of multiple qualifying models? Do each of them get an attack, or must you choose one?

Rules question: Does it matter if the Same action comes from a different source? Example: Zoraida obeys model A, then obeys model B to perform Obey on Model A again. Is this allowed?

Does staggered prevent places by other friendly models?

So let me get this straight, if you have Agent 46, Doppleganger, 3 lawyers, and a Changleing and Agent and Dopp both copy Obey from a Lawyer... Lucius could issue command On Agent to Obey Doppleganger to Obey a Lawyer to Obey a Lawyer to Obey a Lawyer to Obey the Changeling to take an action. And in such a chain you would have taken 7 actions and drawn 6 cards from 1 AP? Then the Changeling could Issue Command to Lucius to do the same chain a second time in the same turn? (Not that it would be efficient but that's amazing.)

Planning to attend this! My neck of the woods! Looks like round 1 has Power Ritual scheme listed twice, so only 6 schemes. Is that intended or does it need a correction?

I've found: http://www.breachsidebroadcast.com/ Breachside Broadcast (Tales of Malifaux) https://schemesandstones.podbean.com Schemes and Stones https://thirdfloorwars.com/tag/malifaux/ Tabletop Talk/Third Floor Wars https://steampoweredscoundrels.podbean.com/ Steam Powered Scoundrels Any others out there?

Personally I agree, but the responses here were kind of mixed. Ogid did seem to change opinion after having that pointed out.

Thanks for all your responses! Looks like opinions are mixed still here. Hopefully we'll get some clarity in the first FAQ/errata released for this edition.

A point of discussion that came up in a game today. Using Blade Rush to charge through Mr. Graves and doing 1 damage to him, the question came up if it would trigger his black blood. One player though it would, saying it was generated by an action (The Charge). Player 2, and a third player not involved in the game called in asked to decide the point agreed the source of the damage was the Blade Rush ability, so it did not trigger black blood. We ruled with that latter, but also agreed to post here and double check for future clarification. Thanks for your input hive mind.

Had an interesting rules question come up today in a game. When the Shadow Effigy with Effigy of Fate is replaced by the Shadow Emissary during the Start Phase, does this trigger the Dragon's Fire ability or does the 'Once per Activation' negate this since Start Phase is not during an activation?

Yep, we were just missing it but it is right there.

No reason to believe it'd be different than Lilith box used to be, though I at least hope they include the totem this time instead of selling it separately. That came with the henchman and three Terror tots. So I guess nekima will have her henchman (heyreddin) plus totem (blood hunter) and 3 Terror tots. Then the Nephilim box has one mature two younger (2 boxes to max what you can field). Hounds in a separate box.

Yeah that's what they said in 2nd edition, and I was just noting that's missing from the 3rd edition cards on the download at least.

Is there something I've missed in the current rules that prevent a player from hiring both Taelor and Miss Deed, or Teddy and Miss Ery for example? Or, is that just allowed now if you have the alt models? The only thing I can note is those cards have the regular model name at the top of the back of the card.

This came up last night for us too, and we determined all the same as is being said here.

I'm not gonna lie fam, I'm feeling a bit bummed. I've lost my favorite two masters to obscurity or another faction (Lilith and Lynch). It's the same with Collodi who I was most excited to try out next, especially with Hinmatsu's release this month. What's a Neverborner to do? Hopefully I really enjoy the rework of Pandora or Zoraida.

The upgrade is never reattached... it's discarded, and then a newly created/summoned upgrade is attached later. The upgrade is destroyed and created in each cycle, so the count is for that particular 'instance'.

Is there an easy to reference flow chart or guide that helps simplify timing questions? It seems like a lot of the rules questions we get during play in my local group revolve around the timing and 'order of operations' for resolving things, especially things that have similar/same apparent timing. One example: Model A with black blood is between Model B and a Fire Gamin, blocking line of sight. Model A is hit and killed. However at the time Model A is hit, black blood damages the fire gamin. So both models are dying, presumably at the same timing? Does model A block LOS for the fire gamin's firey death pulse (can't recall name of ability) or is model A considered already removed from play at the time of the pulse? This of course is just one example, a lot of similar situations seem to be cropping up.

Well they were talking about masters with Obey using it on their own models then someone said Huggy could do it too. I was just pointing out Heed my Voice has an enemy only restriction.

I think this one's a no go as Heed my Voice specifically says the model is considered friendly for the action.

I suppose I'll get the second generalist deck then, even though I have no plans to play any faction other than neverborn.

Is the only way to get the new general upgrade cards to buy the generalist deck that has all factions?
