I'm Ryan from Northeast Wisconsin. I'm not only new to Malifaux, I'm new to miniature gaming in general. Been a role player for about 25 years. I'm also a recovered Magic player. I was on the lookout for a cool looking mini game and came across Malifaux. After reading up on it, I picked up a rule book and a couple crews along with fate decks. Anyone in the area want to school a newb with (as of now) unpainted miniatures and a not so thorough understanding of the rules, let me know!
