Hobby Wyrd Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Have you heard tale of the Library of Many Things? A strange place, curious by all accounts. Gathers stories from all who pass into Malifaux whether they know it or not. Writes them all down, tucks away the volumes, and continues to grow. It is alive, you see. Ah, what of the denizens? Oh, I could tell you a thousand stories from thrice as many minds… but where’s the fun in that? Today I’ll share a tale of an ordinary girl thrown into extraordinary situations… even by Malifaux standards. Continue reading to see 2024’s Nightmare Edition. The first box, appropriately named Off With Her Head, will be available at Gencon. It goes to the Ten Thunders this year, featuring the Red Library and Story keywords. Come, come, let’s get a closer look. Our protagonist Ms. Malice. She’s Curiouser, and so counts as Linh Ly, Bibliothecary. Not a hero I’d mess with, if that platter is anything to go by… Her Totem transforms from rabbit to rabbit in the form of Held-Up Harry. Eternally early-late-right-on-time, he’s key to making sure Ms. Malice is where she needs to be, when she needs to be. These well-suited critters are the Card Guards, a new form for the Bookkeepers. Sworn to serve Ms. Malice after their previous employer’s sudden severance, they don’t mind pulling on armored sleeves to set things right. Not everything in the Library emerges exactly right. Fuzz (formerly Mập Mạp) crawls lazily forward wreathed in story-smog. Best not breathe it in unless you’re made of paper and ink… But what’s a story without a cast of colorful, creepy, cryptic characters? The second Nightmare box this year is We’re All Mad Here, available during Wyrd’s Black Friday sale. Let’s open the cover and see what’s inside, shall we? Ms. Malice experiences changes as every protagonist does, with some being larger than others. Without Pictures represents such a shift, but is a perfect stand-in for Linh Ly, Storyteller. Purr-veyor of proclivities and merchant of madness, The Cat replaces the Story of Sun Wukong as an enigmatic and charismatic member of the crew. Armed with a similar spear and a different way to pick up speed, The Gryphon (formerly the Story of Thánh Gióng) soars across the printed skies to deliver Ms. Malice’s judgments nearer and farther. Familiar yet different, The Hatter replaces the Story of Raijin’s rain and lightning with boiling water and a crackling kettle. Not someone I’d take afternoon tea with, but to each their own. Remember, Wyrd Games still has a few open slots for events at Gencon! Click the image link below to sign up for those last remaining positions so you can get Wyrd during the convention. That’s all for this week, Wyrdos! What do you think about this year’s Nightmare set? Will you be eating up more chapters of Ms. Malice’s adventures, or delicately drink to her title as unofficial queen? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chou Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Now this is a tough decision... the regular crew has to be one of the most beautiful lately, but this nightmare crew is amazing! I mean, the decision is which one to play, i'm gonna buy both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldGoth Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 Just for clarity's sake, these will be available to order on line during GenCon, correct? Some messages state that they will be, and others say Black Friday for those of us who will be in Germany on a work trip and can't make GenCon. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Git Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Kind of feel the 2 Alices should be the other way around. The one coming out of the book feels more like a Bibliophile and the one holding the head on the plate feels like the more choppy one... aka Story-teller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
