So I'm running way late getting this news but I only just learned of the Nova Open while reading the latest Wyrd Chronicles.

It would be a stretch for me to make it to the event but if I do manage to get there are there openings in any of the Malifaux events?

 

This is the format we tend to use. Schemes involving models go against the player (counter/)clockwise to them and the centerline runs through both opponent's deployment zones. It also makes it so that people rarely gang up on someone, because weakening your target might make it incredibly easy for the person they wouldve targetted to go all out against you.

It has a tendency to pull players inwards, swirling like a vortex as they chase each other, but it really works with just about all schemes and strategies, and constantly being hunted but not getting points for fighting back adds another fun layer of pressure.

This (and the subsequent similar posts) seems like a good plan for 3. Do you think it would work for 4 if you changed to corner deployment and kept the clockwise attack?

 

Any game with more than 2 players will involve a lot of backstabbing and dog piling. It's just how it works.

I think this is true 90+% of the time and the backstabbing and dog piling can be fun if you embrace the chaos of it. What I don't like and what often happens (in other systems at least)  is that the player who turtles will win and that's not very much fun.

I'm hoping that Malifaux's emphasis on points through Strategies and Schemes will help mitigatate the turtle effect. I think the Paranoia Scenario sounds fun and I might work on finding or creating another scenario or two.

 

Have the new players team up with the experienced ones to play and ask questions. Kinda like a learn as you go. 

I'll be the most experienced player there and I started playing Malifaux at Origins back in June. I played 2 demo games at Origins and I've run some demo games and  played 2 50SS games since then so we're all pretty much newbs. The cool news is that in the few short months since Origins I've got 7 new players excited about the game and they're all buying into the game pretty hard. It's fun to grow the community and very rewarding to have some friends to play with.

I've got a big get together coming up in Atlanta and there willbe as many as 4-8 new Malifaux players there. The current plan is to run 2 tables. Table 1 will only host 2-player battles and the other will be open for 2+ player battles.

Does anyone have recommendations (preferably with links) for 3-4 player games? Thanks in advance!

I've almost got my cover letter and resume polished. I'm very excited at the prospect of throwing my hat into this ring!

I'll be at Folly Island on vacation from Aug 13-21. Would love to get in a game of Malifaux if there are any local players.

Forgive me for trying to "game" the system but can anyone provide a guesstimate of Miss Fire's resale value?

I really shouldn't drop $100 for the online Gen Con special going on this month but if I can resell her for enough I could both get some stuff I want and stay out of hot water with my wife.

Thanks in advance for any help.

SOLD

Just sold a mini to Saduhem.

He was easy to work with and sent the payment as scheduled.

The doctor is still available. I haven't heard back from bstorz.

In terms of Arcanist -related trades so far I have the Ramos and Mei Feng boxed sets so I'm largely looking for things that synergize well with them.

I'll consider any offers but here's some things that are definitely on my wish list:

Electric Creation

Arachnid Swarms

Rail Golem

Mechanical Rider

Johan

Coryphee

December Acolytes

I'm also interested in:

Fate Decks and Rulebooks (other than the Manual)

Hi all. I'm new to the game and 1 of 2 people in my area who are in the beginning stages of trying to build a player base around Malifaux.

With that in mind, how many of each kind of Condition Marker do you recommend having available to play 1 game? How many Scheme, Corpse and Scrap Markers?

Any recommendations for what to use for all these markers?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Thx for the info. I thought there would be something like that on the cards but didn't know. I'm glad you can't cheat around Rare 1 models that way.

Hypothetically let's say I own both a Rare 1 type model and an alternate sculpt/alternate name copy of that model, could I include both in the same crew?

A friend and I demoed Malifaux @ Origins and we're hooked. He bought the starter and a bunch of Gremlins. I got the Mei Feng and Ramos crew boxes. Now we're hoping to build a player base in the Bristol, TN area. Message me if you live or play nearby.

So I just got into Malifaux at Origins this year and I bought enough stuff to get Doctor Dufresne. Since I'm starting w Arcanists the doc isn't very useful to me at the moment.

Doc is in unopened package with card. Pics available. 

Looking for $45 plus shipping or I'd consider trades for Arcanist stuff.
