juggernaut Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 It has been quite some tome since the expansion play test cards were released, is there anything in the horizon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggernaut Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 You know, this has been up for two week, 154 views, no comment? Even for courtesy sake "thank you for your interest, but we do not announce our releases until the day after they are released"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah, I was hoping to see this at Salute/Adepticon, but now I'm guessing Gencon. What with all the delays that have been going on, I wouldn't be surprised if PWU has been affected too. I don't mind the wait, I just hope that when it does hit it comes with a lot more support and coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasty Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yep, I'm fingers crossed we get some kind of release for GenCon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hoping for it as well- although not looking forward to the painting given how long PWU took Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm putting my money on the expansion being out during Gencon. I still haven't finished assembling the models from my original box, but I still can't wait to get new models for the expansion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahmaul Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I asked in 'A Wyrd Place' Facebook group about this recently and there seemed to be some general apathy among the community for the game because it replaced the original one so quickly and doesn't seem to have been taken up as much as Wyrd would have liked which may make supporting it financially un-viable. I can't comment to the extent that these comments are true or not but I do hope that we get to see some expansions soon. I only picked the game up recently and have only managed to get in three games of it but I really enjoy it and I really like the miniatures (I've painted a lot of my Super Dungeon Explore stuff so I do like this style of miniatures). There's so much fantastic art for the puppets I hope we see something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Unfortunately it does look like this one keeps taking a back seat to everything (I agree it is because of the reasons you mentioned above). Unfortunate especially because my family really loved the original version. I keep hope alive though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasty Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well obviously no PWU expansion stuff this GenCon season but oh well. Saved me some money on my order at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attrition Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I guess the next events it might appear at could be the Black Friday or Wyrd Birthday sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeyboy Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Just sold my 1st edtn Puppet wars to fund buying the new set. Ive just started painting the new set and played first game with it tonight - much faster and i think fairer. I too have my fingers crossed for an expansion set sooner rather than later and would snap it up instantly. The new plastics are gorgeous and full of character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Well obviously no PWU expansion stuff this GenCon season but oh well. I was hoping we would at least see the finalization of what was already available in metal. It sucks having a game where your options are play an outdated edition or an unfinished one. Perhaps this year it will get some love, though I wont hold my breath. Just sold my 1st edtn Puppet wars to fund buying the new set.

I too have my fingers crossed for an expansion set sooner rather than later and would snap it up instantly. I actually really prefer the older edition despite the smaller size of the metal models.

sakurazuka38 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I actually really prefer the older edition despite the smaller size of the metal models. Do you prefer the old edition because of the look of the minis or the rules ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I much prefer the rules of the initial edition. I know a lot of people complained about them but I have never had a problem demoing the game to even non-gamers and having them running the army within a round (I have done this several times at both GenCon and smaller conventions). I really think the rules were wrongly blamed for the low initial sales when it was the crappy and obscure packaging (boxes were so thin and really didn't show what you were getting for the cost), the high cost ($80.00 static two player game unless you purchased additional "booster" boxes at $15.00 a piece) and the lack of real Malifaux tie-in (I still wonder why they didn't include a Lady Justice and Seamus crew stat cards in each box, especially since the Puppets are "official models" for Wyrd events). I abhor the new rules which I consider incomplete (aside from not having all the available models) and suffers from poor editing with more than a few undefined residuals from the earlier edition. I am hoping that at some point the Puppets will receive some attention but with every passing year it becomes less and less likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaintxu Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I was just looking to buying the game but after reading this I got in doubt. Is it really not worth it the game? Please give me tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 With most online stores offering both versions at clearance prices it is difficult to say no. With the original version there are some things to think about; 1) The box is not very durable so you'll need to come up with another storage solution (Battle Foam has some options here). 2) you will need to purchase multiple Pawn packs to be able to field 3 of any non-Master/ Side Kick puppet (though as mentioned a lot of places are clearancing them so you can gets multiples fairly cheap). 3) you may not be able to get your hands on Pokey Vicky, Lucius or the Hooded Rider as they were limited release. 4) you will not be getting any additional content (though you may be able to find a downloadable copy of the Unstictched rule book and new cards or you can access the Puppetwars website for them to convert if Unstitched is ever finalized). 5) the original rules were a bit more cerebral though not difficult. 6) Pawn packaging was a bit wonky so you'll end up with 2 of some and 3 of others, though the pawn boosters are not random packs (thank god!!!) With Unstitched; 1) Much more durable box and larger board. 2) Not all the original Puppets are available in plastic. 3) The rules feel somewhat unfinished and there are some residuals. 4) The base set includes multiples of each pawn puppet. 5) the models are much larger than the metals so it takes up more storage space. 6) It may be awhile before you see any new content The models for either edition can be used as their Malifaux equivalents with the additional purchase of a corresponding Arsenal Deck. Either version can be played utilizing Terraclips so that is another selling point. Hopefully that helps your decision. I am fortunate enough to have both versions and 3 of each metal pawn (without having any extra's). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurazuka38 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Is There anywhere a document that summarize all the rules differences between the two versions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahmaul Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 With regards to storage I have PWU and just put them all back in the box, they are plastic so they are very durable and I intend to do the same once I have painted them.

Battlefoam sells or used to sell an insert that fit in the original Unstitched box that is a great option. The original version (metal models) is far to flimsy to stand up to that though so a separate bag or box is a bit of a necessity. Is There anywhere a document that summarize all the rules differences between the two versions ? Unfortunately there isn't one that I recall though you may be able to do a forum search and find some old topics (and you may have to go back a ways to find them) about it.
