Nathan Caroland Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Haven't seen a lot of folks talking about the stories as some were worried about spoiling it for others (thank you for being considerate!) - so I thought I would create a thread and see what folks thought of some of the stories and the arcs/characters that were presented. For anyone reading - expect spoilers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall78 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Might have not been a lot as I bet everyone didn't buy all the faction books so the stories are split up. Not that I am complaining as I think it is a good idea. I am sure as everyone gets them in their hands and finds time to read them (like myself) more will be asked. I really enjoyed the stories and lore updates in the main rule book. They were well thought out and a great update/refresher on the whole Malifaux timeline.

Gnomezilla Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 There’s definitely that weird spot where I am never quite sure which books are now on general release and which were already read by GenCon orderers. I got Guild/Arcanist/Neverborn from my FLGS [USA] so those are probably freed from the courtesy call for inaccessibility [again, for the USA]. Loved the style of the sepia tone illustration for each story, especially the look of Ironsides in that style. That was a great and unexpected splash of art. Also a nice nod to the masters who haven’t had updated art yet. Against all expectations I think I liked the Neverborn stories best! Not that there was anything wrong with the others (the McMourning and Sebastian voices shift a bit yet again but into yet another pleasing configuration of ‘not all the mental gears are engaged right now’*), the Neverborn just got to indulge in the Malifaux style darkness more than the rest. *I don’t know if I should have pictured McMourning as Agatha Heterodyne at that one juncture, but I did. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've only got those three books in PDF so far too (despite having ordered all seven), and I've been kind of waiting on the other four before I start reading them proper. That, and while I'm fine skimming through a PDF, I very much have a preference for physical media, especially when it comes to multipage fiction (as opposed to statcards and the bio information and the like). Do we have an ETA on when the seventh book is going to be physically released, so that I can tack on at least two months for when I'll get them in my hands? Shipping to Australia, you just get used to always being last. Well, second last. New Zealand almost always gets dicked the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toqtamish Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 The Pandora versus Crossroads story is probably my favourite. McMourning and Lady Justice one is really good too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharnage Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Euripides is a fat liar, God Empress Nekima isn't gonna lose to some indebted card shark or his dumb weak fish on a leash. She will make her own fate! Wherever I gotta go to play in some tournament proving that Nephilim reign supreme, or vote for Nekima to win out in the end, J vs Nico style, I'm gonna do it! Nekima is a strong, independent beater master who don't need no anthropomancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toqtamish Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I definitely think the Neverborn stories did the most to move the story forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InquisitorLord Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I think the Lucius story was fantastic, presenting real character development for him. He seems to be “humanizing” more and more as time goes on. The Freikorps and Tara fighting against Hamelin was another great one. It was an exciting story, with lots of action, and I like the confrontation between Tara/Obliteration and Plague. The part where he mentions leaving part of himself behind inside Talos in order to escape I found very interesting. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice to get a definite picture of what happened with a certain Master too! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4bberw0ck Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I've only read the Neverborn stories, but holy cow I loved the Pandora vs. Fate one. Made me wish Fate was a playable master, sorta like the Viks. Two masters, neither as powerful or tough as a single master, but together they're bonkers! One hands out , the other hands out , rigging the deck in fun ways, they could function like a Wastrel in TtB! Ah well, I guess I'll have to settle for painting my Avatar Pandora up in red & black... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkirk Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 It's been so long, I'd forgotten how many of these I either wrote or edited. Glad to see people enjoying the stories! And, as always, it's a privilege to get to write in the worlds Wyrd creates! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solkan Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Note to self: It's easy to miss the e-mail from DriveThruRPG saying that your PDFs are ready. I think I'm prepared to say that I liked everything that happened in the story that starred the Right Honorable Mattheson. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
