theamazingmrg Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'm not sure an Effigy and Emissary would make thematic sense, unfortunately, but I'll happily be wrong! A little Indiana Jones-esque puppet with hat, pistol, and whip would be an insta-buy! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Vening Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'd like to see the return of the thing that AvPerdita was riding, as the Emissary. A tameable but still wild flying cat thing, from the outlands. Was always sad that model wasn't really useful enough for me to buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I only picked it up as part of a second hand job-lot, but I really came around to it once I put it together. It's a really gorgeous sculpt with a lot of unique character.

Adran Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'd not be upset with no explorer effigy, it would seem a little strange for one to appear now in the story. What obviously is needed is the 8 th deadly sin. I suggest rules lawyer the band manager. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 They are almost certainly going to have to make an effigy, since that’s how they decided to balance the lack of totem for henchman led crews. The Emissary will likely also have to come because of the generic upgrade effigies can take. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Unless they can be cute and steal some other faction’s effigy. I wonder what our odds of a pith hat are... Thematically, it’s probably a simple enough story addition for Zoraida to have crafted other effigies. I mean, they had that whole game about escaped voodoo dolls and everything, presumably Z keeps busy. Or, we’re getting effigies continually transforming into emissaries now, which kind of demonstrates that whatever Z did that got out of her control is still out of her control and still going. It’s not too much revisionism for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'd rather they didn't to be honest. Not a huge fane of the 'one for everyone in the audience' type of design. Suppose they should get an effigy for their henchmen though, or something with an equivalent hiring rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this bit pretty much guarantees we'll see one of each. Cause while Wyrd might change their mind, it should be noted that the Effigy of Fate Upgrade has the Explorer's Society symbol on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 So someone said they're not printing the Crossroads Seven anymore... I don't remember who... but maybe they'll phase them out into something that is in 8's. However, except for the 8 cardinal and secondary directions, I don't know anything else that comes in 8s.....

belorey Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Maybe The Explorer's Society find a new Effigy exploring the wild lands of Malifaux and he become a new member because they save him. 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the holiday sale where they had the alt-Stitched Together, they had Crossroads 7 boxed sets. https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2019/4/10/easter-2019-newsletter What I think they discontinued was the Story Encounter box, because all of those printed story encounters need to be examined and revised to the M3E style.

So an Effigy and an Emissary are much more likely than messing with the source material that these concepts came from. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horsemen are the three riders from the legend of Baba Yaga, so they've already added an extra. In the beta Yasunori at some points was a rider (I think), so I don't think it's unthinkable that the new faction get one. However, even though they added one extra rider there are still three without, so it wouldn't be shocking if there would be none either...

Personally I always put the horseman as the ones from the apocalypse, and would have expected 4. Plus we had the 4 ride out with Leviticus in some world saving attempt already. ( at a time when we only had 4 real factions, and a collection of other things). Looking at baba yaga and her horseman, they are the 3 different forms the hooded rider had in first edition, when he was the only rider. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Possibly then instead of a type of model that every crew has a version of, a single model hireable in every crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solkan Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 According to wikipedia, the original list was roughly: Gluttony Lust Greed Pride Acedia* (later merged with Sloth) Wraith Vainglory/Vanity (later merged with Pride) Sloth and Envy was a later addition when Despair and Vainglory got merged out. So there are actually plausible choices for deadly sins #8 and #9. * The article I read spends a paragraph trying to explain the term. I'm not going to try picking one of the listed synonyms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEmptyRoad Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Well all the effigies follow the same format, so we’ll see probably a ranged attack similar to Brutal with either another attack or a Tactical Action and a Bonus Action Aura of some kind. What other Action and Aura do we think our ‘Adventurous Effigy’ will have? Also, what type of Emissary will we get? A Big Ol’ Beater like Arcane and Brutal? A mix of Beater and Support like Carrion? More Support Focused like Hodgepodge and Shadow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
