sycorax Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm honestly kind of torn... recently gone hard into TTB. Got all the main books and expansions for Christmas just gone. Loving it. So to hear of a second edition this quick after getting the core books is kind of a gut punch. But at the same time not invalidating any of the other books is a great thing. And a very wise one. Just not sure how to mentally process this yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koronuslight Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I may actually buy a hard copy of this book. May. Estimate on price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xynok Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Nearly had a rant but seeing as it's compatible with the expansions, I'm all for it. I'm looking forward to seeing the new pursuits and it's good to see some love for the pioneer. Hope that magic has had a good speaking to since that is so open to abuse in the current system (though erratas have helped). Plus you know... hard backed....

Pyrflamme Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 My only kvetch is that you didn't give a release date for the book, from what I see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said they were still compatable. Seems that the only books being overridden are the Fated and Fatemaster Almanacs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that the only books being overridden are the Fated and Fatemaster Almanacs Based on a discussion I was just having, where Mason weighed in, I would guess this is more about bringing the core books (which he didn't write) in line with the expansion books (which he did) in philosophy and style. Specifically we were talking about Step 0's for core pursuits, which I would put good money will be in the new book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't! I wrote around the Pursuits, Magia, Talents, and other special rules to ensure that all of the supplemental books would keep functioning. I think there's maybe two or three things across the books that got changed significantly (a Talent and a few Magia), but the updated versions are included in the core book, which I think is a good compromise. We really wanted to make certain that Into the Steam, Under Quarantine, and Into the Bayou remained relevant. We also wanted to make sure that our future supplements remained backwards compatible with 1st edition, so even if you don't update to 2nd edition, those books should still be useful. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most considerate thing I've ever seen in an Edition change. I respect the heck out of that. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Nice. I can't wait to see some updates on the game. Will the Divergent Path characters be in the Stitch in Time event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordZombie Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Just now, Mason said: Nope. So Wyrd is dumping the idea of a TTB adventure for them? Not that I mind, in fact, a box set of all three of them with story encounters and TTB would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I mind, in fact, a box set of all three of them with story encounters and TTB would be cool. This time around, we split the Malifaux and TTB World Events from each other. Divergent Paths and A Stitch in Time are separate events and won't bump into each other. To the best of my knowledge, we never had any TTB stuff planned for them. The Divergent Paths characters may show up in a future TTB adventure, as all three of them are still kicking around in Malifaux, but there aren't any immediate plans to write an adventure around them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necroon Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 This is such awesome news. The Malifaux World has grown so much since TTB was released and that makes for an excellent opportunity to take what feedback has been given and give the rules a Polish at the same time. As a long time RPG guy making the existing material compatible was a completely unnecessary thing to do..... that is so very much appreciated I am almost shocked. I can't wait to get my hands on the new material and all the adventure opportunities that it opens up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Loki- Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 While it's irritating because I only just got the Core books, it's obvious that there's a design gap between the Core books and Expansion books, particularly the Pursuits. Question - is the change going to be so drastic that, if we have a campaign running and decide to shift over, it's going to be difficult? I was hoping to start a campaign soon, but the changes in second edition sound nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeblee Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have only one request: please continue to leave water out of the sundries section.

I doubt the guild has water purification technology and if the local wildlife is as deadly as it is I can only imagine how bad the microscopic stuff in the water is..... Probably better off with refreshment of the alcoholic kind or imported water which is most likely more exspensive then the former option and possibly still just from the river outside anyways.
