horvagab Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 So I bought Into the Steam a while ago, and I'm just pretty amazed at how cool it is. And in general, how cool TTB is, not just in terms of rules and mechanics and fluff, but in its relation to Malifaux itself. See, my expection was always that TTB would simply copy the mini game stuff (fluff, rules and such) onto an RPG framework. Instead, it's expanding it, and I was a bit surprised of that, but it was awesome. It's nice to see animals and creatures that are not present as minis. Similarly it's great to take a closer look at the factions themselves. ItS presented that pretty awesomely, that Arcanist is not equal to M&SU, nor is M&SU equal to Foundry (only mostly). Couple that with additional players (Condor Rails wee!) it did a great job of expanding everything. Follow that with very versatile new pursuits, it's a great book. Animator can be Ramos or Leveticus, while Mage can be practically anything, not just an Oxfordian Mage ripoff. Augmented can be Iron Zombie or Howard Langstrom! Skill triggers are also great fun, and pretty useful. Big fan of them. So they're awesome, and I'm really looking forward to the other books that'll be made following this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm really glad you like it!I put a lot of work into it, and I had a great group of testers to help me knock it into shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yool1981 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am reading it also and I also think this RPG is awesome. Congrats to Wyrd for this.Even without playing it (I lack the time currently), reading the TTB books increases the immersion into the story by providing details (and artworks) on Malifaux, its surroundings and its inhabitants.I look forward to see the Neverborn book ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horvagab Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 One nitpick I'm missing is more info on the Star Theater, but that's the drawback of the book being both a faction and a region book. Still, I'm holding out hope we'll get a Penny Dreadful related to the Theater in the future. Neverborn book sohuld be awesome! As well as the Gremlin one. I want to play Moon Shinobi! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Beattie Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's a massive improvement on the basic rules which were a little bit bland, lots more flavour and more Malifaux-y 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
