UndeadKing Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hey folks. Just stepping back into malifaux after a number of years away mid way through 2nd I last played and the explorers society really pulling me in. I've bought the book and cards plus picked up lord coopers box. As a well noob to 3rd and ES in general is there anything I should look out for, anything I should pick up straight away, anything to avoid.. Any help appreciated 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Welcome back! Most of the Explorers models aren't released yet. But they should be coming out over the next few months. If you're playing Cooper you'll probably want to pick up the On the Hunt box as well to get the Crypsis Corps and the Vatagi Huntsman. The Rex is coming end of this month I think The Flippin Wyrds podcast did a really good rundown of the different Explorer keywords if you want some good advice over how each keyword plays https://flippinwyrdsmalifaux.podbean.com/ The other thing its worth getting at the moment is Vassal. It's how a lot of us have continued playing throughout lockdown and Covid restrictions. You can download the latest Vassal here http://www.vassalengine.org/ And then the latest Malifaux module for it is this one. There's also a facebook group for it where you can arrange games etc http://www.vassalengine.org/.../6/66/M3E-Explorers-v2.vmod Let me know if you'd like a demo using vassal and I can run you through it. Aside from that there's the M3e crew builder app which you can download onto your phone. Its free and has all the cards for m3e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my pc is out of commission currently so vassal is out unless it works on tablet but soon as my pc is fixed I'll certainly be interested in trying out games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
