The Other Coast Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 We're happy to introduce a new podcast coming from the Southern California Malifaux Meta, The Other Coast! We're very new at this, and our first few episodes are primarily intended for beginners, but we hope the wider Malifaux community will find our show a worthy contribution to the available content. If you'd like to give it a listen, I'v included a link to our website where you can find the episodes. We're also on Spotify, Anchor, Google Podcasts and probably a few other places! https://www.theothercoastpodcast.com/ 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-REZ Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm getting back into Malifaux after lightly dabbling in 2nd edition 4 years ago and am in Southern California myself (San Bernardino County).

We will look into it, but as it's not a free platform it's obviously much less attractive as an option for us just starting out. 11 hours ago, T-REZ said: I'm getting back into Malifaux after lightly dabbling in 2nd edition 4 years ago and am in Southern California myself (San Bernardino County). Really looking forward to giving your podcast a listen. Great to hear from someone in the area! I know we'd be too far for casual games, but once in-person events are a thing again, hope you'll consider making the trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 You mention an app - is it for free? 😉 I very much liked the first episodes. A big plus for me is the length. I don't often have the time to listen to much longer podcasts and it's always not easy to recall all that's been said if you pick it up again a week later. The one episode where you discuss the rules questions about double terrifying test I like your discussion but I really missed your opinion an that matter. If you do something similar again please share your thoughts how you handle it your meta. As a beginner I still struggle with positioning and movement in the first round. I think also this is something where a lot of players could improve and shorten the gamelength. So I'd really appreciate episodes about basic thoughts about strategies and scemes on a very (!) basic level. Thanks a lot for creating quality content for our game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Coast Posted September 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Thanks for the listen! Our opinion on Terrifying is that RAW, you do have to take two tests. But that's horribly broken and shouldn't be played that way. Also, thanks for the episode topic suggestion. Positioning for strats and schemes could definitely be interesting to talk about! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Coast Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 For Episode 4, Jeff, Jim, and Colgan generate a game and talk through how they would go about choosing a crew and how they would approach a specific strategy and scheme pool. https://anchor.fm/theothercoast/episodes/Malifaux-Discussion-Building-a-Crew-for-a-Game-of-Malifaux-eiq5oe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Laughing Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 The Loner idea could be interesting. Perhaps a 'loner' model would need to discard a card to cheat or similar. I also kind of like the idea of variable OOK tax rates. Both of those ideas do seem pretty large and more like 'next edition' items. Though they could be introduced via new models and maybe later errata'd onto older models if needed/appropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
