Following the Lore

[oglethorp]

I started reading the books as they came out in MK1 and really enjoyed the lore. Had played a handful of game in Malifaux 2E, but fell off the lore. 

I am hoping to go back and catch up on the old lore but not sure what books I would need for the main story, for lack of a better term. If there is a resource out there or someone could list the books that would be a big help. 

thanks!

Well, the most succinct lists I can think of are:

1st edition bundle:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/261853/Malifaux-1st-Edition-Core-Books-BUNDLE

2nd edition bundle:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/261854/Malifaux-2nd-Edition-Books-BUNDLE

(Edit:  And mixed in between the books are the various stories in the Chronicles:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/5162/Wyrd-Miniatures/subcategory/23027_23030/Wyrd-Chronicles )

For M3E, you're looking at the M3E Core Rulebook, the eight faction books, and the Malifaux Burns books.)

The stories for 1st and 2nd edition, and the The Other Side, are available in audio form on the Breachside Broadcast:  http://www.breachsidebroadcast.com (which should show up on the Apple podcast list, and elsewhere.  If for some reason all of the episodes don't show up, you can find the first story of 1st edition here:  http://www.breachsidebroadcast.com/page/19/

(Edit:  I think the order of the stories shown in the Broadcast is a good one, even if you just want to use it as a reference as you read the Chronicles and 1st and 2nd edition PDFs...)

I'll admit that I've completely lost track of where the podcast is in the M3E stories.  But that should be a good start...
