I'm new to Malifaux and I live in LA. Had a false start with the game shortly after 2E was released. Was in a different city, no real player base, and the 3 guys I did know were all brand new to the game. That group didn't make it off the ground. This past weekend a guy running demos at Gamex gave me a good explanation of the game including the lowdown on local groups and it seems like there's a good community here. I know I'll be playing Guild, still not sure which master. Anyway, that's my intro.
