At some point Im going to drag Collodi to this

[Mister Shine]

So far I can go, pray to my varied pantheon of work Gods that I retain the day off

[SuperFly TNT]

I'll be coming on the 20th with my crew looking for a game (can do 50ss or more/less). Anyone planning on coming by? What's the size of the crowd usually like?

I'm a relatively new to Malifaux and only know a handful of crews, so I won't be the fastest player. 

 

Howdy.

 

Size of the crowd varies but it's usually 6-7 people and most arrive between 5-6. Don't worry about your newness. The entire group are all laid back and helpful.  I'm the henchman at the store so I'm happy to have a game with you or feel free to grab anyone once you get to the store.

Conveniently, Im another henchman, I just can't do anything but be a rules encyclopedia due to wonky work schedules.

 

Speaking of; don't tell my work, but so far I can actually go this coming Monday.

[Mister Shine]

I usually do the following for intro games for people coming from either of the warhammers or warmahordes

 

Turf War setup for the Strat and instead of the normal scheme pool, a variant of Squatter's rights with two squat markers on the far edges of the board.

 

It gets through the idea that "KILL EM ALL" doesnt work in Malifaux, because not focusing on objectives gets them losing 2-0 by the second turn, at which point they tend to swap directions and try to do some objective gameplay. 90% of the time, it works every time.

[SuperFly TNT]

Woot. Looking forward to meeting you guys!

 

Teaching my reforming WHFB junkie friends results in nothing but 0-0VP beat em ups (Basically degenerated to hardcore mode @ 50ss). I've played one veteran from AWP over Vassal and got stomped. In my defense, I way 'playing in the dark' as I only have the mini rulebook and had no idea what any of his stuff did >.<

Pounding on each other is a good way to learn the basic game mechanics (flips/cheating/etc.) so smash away! The heart of the game as you've probably realized is in actions that gain/deny VP's but often times "Aggressive Negotiation" is required.

 

As far as knowing other crews it's pretty tough unless you've played with or against a master/crew on a regular basis. I usually end up learning the hard way by getting hammered by my opponent.

Anyway, see you on Monday!

[Mister Shine]

I find our players tend to be a bit more casual so you can always just ask "How does your crew work? What should I look out for?"

 

I'll happily let people know what to do against Collodi/Colette to slow them down and how Im going to probably come at them with my {}{}{MYRIAD OF TRICKS}{}{}

End of the month bump up!

 

October 27th - Cast your vote in the municipal election and then come down to Meeplemart for some Malifaux! Get in the spirit of Halloween with the Carver scenarios from Wyrd Chronicles 8/Crossroads or test some crews for the upcoming November 3rd Hardcore Henchmen tournament.
