Linus Mcmold Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Whoo! I really like that it has a much different visual identity from Malifaux and the originality of all of its factions. While I'm not that keen on the current visuals of Cult of The Burning Man, I'm very much interested to see where it's story is going and seeing its future stuff. All of the factions hold my interest in some way, be it art, fluff or its historical feel. I'll probably support this on the kickstarter if the book will be avaliable as a pledge and I might even play it if there is going to be a META for it in my city. I was unsure if I was ever going to play it, but Abysinnians piqued my interest, so I might get it when the official game is out one day.

I believe that it gets mentioned in the Exorcist description of Under Quarantine for TTB. Honestly, a fair amount of information about Earth and The Other Side has been slowly seeping into Through the Breach for awhile now. For instance, "A Fire in the Sky" is our first Penny Dreadful to take entirely place on Earth... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 @Aaron Are there any retailer pledges planned for the kickstarter? Would be good to get the game at our local flgs going, because otherwise everyone interested is just going to pledge and then there`ll be no real incentive to get it going at a shop :/ Couldn`t even promote it otherwise....

Four_N_Six Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I need more Gibbering Hordes. The Lovecraft in me wants out, but unfortunately I think mid-December isn't a great time for me to jump on a kickstarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucidicide Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 There will be a Retailer Pledge on The Other Side. Wyrd, as always, is committed to our retailers and values everything they bring to their local communities. We understand their challenges and are doing what we can to support them even through the Kickstarter. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Mouse Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 So how much do we know about the actual game, and how it plays? Are there masters? What are the objectives like? How many models in a typical army? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleater Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm actually quite tempted by this. I never quite 'got' Malifaux despite the epic patience and legendary enthusiasm of our local Henchmen. But I really like the art of these factions and am hoping it is different enough in terms of play style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game uses a standard deck of playing cards with our own suits. I can't tell you much about gameplay now, but I bet you can intuit some by looking at cards that have been revealed.

retnab Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 How long will the Kickstarter be going for? I have a feeling a lot of people's timing concerns will be helped a bit if it's a 45 day one rather than a 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factions revealed so far all look great, and importantly all very different than the current Malifaux factions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Barrows Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 7 hours ago, 7thSquirrel said: Really? I thought they more got involved/had influence in every government Earth side because of their control of the SS and magic, I don't remember them actually taking over anything in total. I know they hold the Malifaux world with an iron fist, but if they did it Earthside it must have happened later in fluff than I've gotten to. Edit: from https://www.wyrd-games.net/malifaux-history "The Guild took control of access to Soulstones, doling them out for use in exchange for positions of power within each government. Minister of Magic, Secretary of Aetheric Practice, and so forth, these titles gave legitimacy to their claims. The Guild demanded they be put in charge of the area surrounding the Breach to further study the phenomenon and how they may be able to open it again." It likely varies based on the country's acceptance of the Guild in the beginning and the level of power they had. I believe the Three Kingdoms has been basically taken over by the Guild. Abyssinia probably was in a good position and the Guild was treated more like the first among equals. It should be noted that Ironsides blames the Guild for not banning American slavery. So, they have a huge influence beyond just SS and magic. It's pretty much their only concern of course. 5 hours ago, Mason said: I believe that it gets mentioned in the Exorcist description of Under Quarantine for TTB.

Honestly, Through The Breach is an incredible wealth of information. I was buying it just for the fluff before I started a campaign. Actually, Under Quarantine was the first place Parker Barrows was mentioned. and actually has a quite a bit on his background. 3 hours ago, Nexus132 said: maaaaan, December is not a good month to do kickstartes, they should of held off till February.

Of course, I don't have kids, so Christmas doesn't hurt me too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, this Saturday we have the Barcelona vs Real Madrid match and you will be able to see hordes of zombies watching open mouthed the match, drooling expected too! Back to topic, sooo excited with the Kickstarter!! Seems my Christmas gift have been decided! I'll let my LGS know so they are aware, maybe we can get several factions (four will do, yep) so I can demo it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 "Magic, steampunk, monsters, and soldiers collide to make the battlefields of The Other Side action-packed. In order to get you into the action sooner, every model in The Other Side will come preassembled and ready for play!" So will the miniatures for this game be PVC like Aionus and the Tortoise and Hare box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancor709 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 remember the people in malifaux are more throughly oppressed and protected by the guild then those earth side. A world wide multiple contient all in compassing empire isn't practical. However a highly advanced and militarized above the law organization controlling the bulk of the world's access to magics and power sources. much more cost effective power. but with illicit sources having been coming out of the breaches around the globe now breaking the monopoly that economic power base is destroyed. it's like if all of the oil being produced only came from Texas and then over night oil fields in Russia and the middle east pop up with 10x the output. well Texas influence would be greatly lessened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphealy Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 This looks so exciting. I mean there basically is a Wakandan / Black Panter faction. Uh yes please. My only concern is the timing, mid December right after Black Friday in the middle of Christmas shopping is literally the worst time ever for a KS. I'm hoping its not gonna impact the funding too much for Wyrd. I want this to do well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
