Witness Keyword really does look fun, ha.

I'm very tempted, I will admit. lol

Been waiting for Damian since 1e! I'm not eager to potentially re-buy Arcanists stuff again, whether it be Versatiles or OOK stuff people figure out.

Your pain is inspiring, admiral.

Winged Plagues willingly being taken? Lordy the game really has changed since the errata huh.

Heh, barely related, but I have alluded to my collection being...destroyed...

Well we've been going through some packed away boxes as we resort storage and look what I've uncovered:

I've mentioned it before but "This is Jack the Ripper and his zombie hookers" is the "haha what" that got me into Malifaux to begin with. Different strokes for different folks, I can see why that sort of intro would absolutely turn other people off as a sales pitch. But at least Wyrd is about 95% consistent about portraying Seamus as a horrifying, awful person with no redeeming qualities that you should never root for. Sometimes we get some gallows humor out of him that's kinda funny if your sense of humor is as dark as mine. In return we also get characters such as Molly and Colette as the antithesis of everything he stands for.

There's an inherent misogyny to Seamus' character but in my personal experience it's only ever been a handful of players that have made it uncomfortable to me. There's been a few odd moments with Wyrd, but I've always felt that the story where Molly breaks free of him showed they know exactly what Seamus is.

See, my meta banned me from playing English Ivan (pre-errata). I like Jack but it feels like he'd wind up a wasted investment too, lol.

I had been wondering if the burst of new Keywords lately "meant" anything given we have a number without an actual Master, but Lohith's fluff sure suggests there's going to be a Witness Keyword Master. Be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Uh oh, "Witness" is an alarming Keyword. Interesting to see this seemingly one-off character from the start of 3e's stories crop back up too.

That's our Leveticus.

Waif profile, 2e & 3e: He revives a corpse that has been specially prepared for the task he needs, binding the empty husk to his own soul.

Beyond the loss of my models and a lovely kidney stone problem that required two surgeries, I live again!

(Cheap laugh at Malifaux Burns' release schedule) Ok, that done, has there been much proxy-play of Tara2 since the last time this thread was posted in? Was curious if anything new was unlocked/discovered for her beyond the 33 bomb from downtown.

One of my fondest wargaming memories was a tournament day when some guys came down from another meta to participate and, in the words of one guy, "stomp some n00bs". He ragequit after he got destroyed in round one.

There have been a number of small, temporary Breaches between the two worlds throughout history, especially following desperate bids to avoid imprisonment by Shez'uul and (half of) The Dragon. A significant number of mankind's myths and legends may have been influenced by something from Malifaux winding up somewhere it shouldn't be. The Through the Breach supplement From Nightmares cites a number of examples like the Loch Ness Monster, Waldgeists in the Amazon, Cyclopes in the arctic north and, yes, the Fae.

Fantastic attitude  Wish everyone did this xD

Funny, I don't recall five test games before you starting doomsaying about Hoffman2! (I'm kidding, don't take this too seriously people)

I can't tell if that's an earnest comment about the Bury mechanic or a joke about Justice1 stabbing everyone to death.

I feel that the killing off of Collodi was just super anti-climactic. I mean, the rest of the Dead Man's Hand Masters at least got a proper build-up leading to something more-or-less epic and logical but Collodi just got randomly disposed of.

In retrospect it does feel like Collodi was foreshadowing The Burning Man's return, for what it's worth.

That's just what the plants WANT you to think!

There were two plants on the grassy knoll!

That explains it; a Wild Shot trigger went off?

When in doubt, assume Wyrd chose madness.

Here's some quick phone pics for you. Apologies for the glare covering Cavatica's handsome visage.

It's not even a Gremlin mechanically. No Bayou Leader has a Keyword or ability that allows them to hire a Versatile Explorers' Society Minion out-of-faction, alas.

What this gives you is some nice efficiency with Auguste's Chasing Ghosts action. Giving a little push to all Guilty, but more importantly the trigger to draw (I'm not sure how many because the artwork is cut off) cards if those guilty have distracted.

Maximum of two cards. The TN of Chasing Ghosts is 10 and is a Mv 13 duel for enemy models, to be thorough.

I one-shot a Guild Lawyer turn 1 and it was the best feeling in the world

Sometimes to spread the tender warmth of the Burning Man you've just gotta put a bullet in a lawyer's face.

I just want to let you guys know, this really happens in Malifaux Burns. We predicted the future.
