Popular Post Kyle Posted July 7, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 This week, we found Waldo sleepwalking around the office. While dealing with his singed linens is already a daily occurrence, we didn’t expect to see him walking along the walls and double-checking any loose or dead lightbulbs. So, while we clean imp-prints off the ceiling, let’s take a look at another upcoming Master title – the Dreamer, Insomniac – as well as a character who will be joining his (and Asami’s) crew! As you may have noticed in his art and title, the Dreamer has been having difficulty, well, dreaming. Sleep was once a refuge, a place to escape and play games. But since losing his father to the chaos that has broken out across London, the Dreamer’s rebellious phase has been replaced by weariness and anxiety. Chompy tries to assure him that nothing is wrong, and to go back to sleep, but there’s something that his friend isn’t telling him… On the table, the Dreamer’s sleeping troubles are reflected by his constant nature to rapidly exist and then not exist in Malifaux via his Bury mechanics with Abilities such as Drifting Off and Insomnia. While he is still a card manipulator at heart, his Peer Into Dreams Action takes a different approach by discarding cards from his opponent’s Fate Deck rather than his own. Let’s take a look at just how much a lack of sleep can change how the Dreamer plays by looking at his stat card: Last week, we revealed Asami’s title and how her summoning mechanics have been replaced with positioning and teleporting mechanics. One character that is taking full advantage of the drastic changes in both Asami’s and Dreamer’s lives is Lady Yume, an ancient noppera-bō. These oni are devoted to generating unrest and consuming fear across worlds by stealing faces and features from their victims, but Lady Yume is something far greater. She comforts her victims, singing lullabies that infest their thoughts, and when night comes, she follows her songs into her host’s dreams to take full control. When the time is right, Yume’s face splits apart to reveal the true horror beneath, and as her victims scream from the sight, she feeds. With both the Nightmare and Oni keywords, Lady Yume will be joining both Asami and Dreamer on the table. In both crews, she provides plenty of utility by positioning her enemies with her Hole in the World Trigger and her Coil Around Prey Bonus Action while also utilizing the unique resources and Place mechanics of her allies, providing card manipulation through her Warp the Veil and From Two Worlds Abilities. If you’re interested in seeing how Lady Yume works, check out her stat card: Are you a Dreamer or Asami player? What are your thoughts on the new titles and their newest Enforcer?

Removing the enemy RJ from the game, potentially all game, really seems to go against the whole Malifaux theme that Fate is always present. Don't love it and hope it changes before print. It's nasty enough removing Severes and high cards all game without messing with Fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't remove it from the game, it just discards a card from the deck. The card will go to the discard pile as normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Git Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Lady Yume is super awesome! Must buy! Just to nip it in the bud early, the e is pronounced like egg or extra, not like we (that would be Yumi, a different name). I love how she's reaching behind her head about to rip it open ala: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageGatsby Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 This is really interested design. Yume is fascinating. I see the new Asami playstyle being isolating a key model away from its friends, debuffing it with injuries and then tearing it apart.

marius Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Really nice, and glad to see models other than Masters coming. These alternate masters so far seem very well thought out. Although I am a little cautious about the balancing of so many Masters in a Covid environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they just forced the testers to sit at home and do nothing but test... and when they complained were just like 'i KNOW you don't have anything better to do, get back to testing!!!!' 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they worked without sleeping on the dreamer, were on fire for Sonnia, and haunted by Kirai. ( sorry, no pun for Asami) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
