birdbath Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi all, quick question. Is the new Crossroads book just stories and stats for new models or is it more than that such as new strategies and schemes or something else? Thanks, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 There are 18 short stories (1 about each of the masters in the book although one contains 2 masters), Models rules for wave 2 and 19 new story encounters (1 based on each story, and the remainign one being the Carver).

Fetid Strumpet Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The only new models in it were those that were not created during edition 1.5, and all those model's rules were available and tested during the public open beta earlier this year.

rover1013 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 It's worth nothing that there were changes made in the final printing that are not present in the final wave 2 pdfs. Those changes were listed in the July FAQ/Errata document, but subsequently removed post-Crossroads release. They are of course present on the wave 2 arsenal deck printings though (and errata for a couple of misprints in those decks is in the current FAQ/Errata document). I believe the stat blocks in the actual Crossroads book are all correct (don't have it on me right now to double check). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Tannen and the Blessed of December are incorrectly costed on both the card and the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 There are also rules for Raethford and The Carver in there, which weren't ever printed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 True, but they aren't new models per say, just specific addendum's to specific story encounters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdbath Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks guys, 'NEW' was the wrong word on my part, sorry. I should have said new to M2E or something like that. What I was after was additional content over and above stats and stories e.g the 19 new story encounters that ADRAN mentioned. 19 NEW ENCOUNTERS! HELL YE! is this correct?

Fetid Strumpet Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 As the Story Encounters are all based on the story of each master in the book, that sounds about right. Molly and Kirai share a story, so there is sort of 1 less encounter than the number of masters, but their encounter allows one player to field 2 masters.

They added the Carver encounter, so there are 18 new encounters in total, 17 based on the stories. (Lucius, Hoffman, Kiari and Molly, Dreamer, Collodi, Kaeris, Colette, ironsides, Shelong, Yan lo, Lucus, Jack, Hamelin, Levi, Mah, Ulix ,Wong, and Carver) (hasty change as I counted up the masters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbobovalsocks Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Tannen and the Blessed of December are incorrectly costed on both the card and the book. Oh my God! Are you seriously telling me that yet again I've spent my hard-earned money on a product which isn't correct? My Wave 1 book was missing upgrades in it and now my Wave 2 book is incorrect too?

That statement might be a little overkill for there being two typos in book two and one missing stat card in book one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding? Typos are the second sign of the apocalypse, man! (The first sign is delayed trains, of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbobovalsocks Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 That statement might be a little overkill for there being two typos in book two and one missing stat card in book one. £28.00 for the first book and $50.00 plus £16.00 p&p for the second. That's £65.00 or about 8hours work for me. I only have a 16 hour contract so it's a significant chunk of my spare money wasted on 2 products that are faulty. With respect, it's down to me when I'm buying a product with my money and it's faulty whether I'm alright with that or not isn't it? I work in retail and wouldn't just expect my customers to lump it if I sold them faulty goods. I know I'm supposed to keep on the good side of the mods, but I've never been one to sit on my opinions. You'll respect that being a Yorkshireman and hopefully sympathise! Nothing cranks up a Welshman more then spending money, apart from spening money on broken stuff!!!! P.S. Well that was cathartic! I feel much better now! Nothing like a good rant to get the blood pumping!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbobovalsocks Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, I'm totally over it now! I'll get my marker pen and write in the correct points costs - job done, nothing to see here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure that in 50 years or so they will be worth much more than the correct printings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbobovalsocks Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 One of the upgrades for Perdita's crew. It lets you discard a card to get rapid fire or something I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 The name is Hair Trigger, and it just gives Rapid Fire to an Ortega Enforcer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
