Curryman Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Direct from the Gen Con convention floor, The Screaming Alpha offers a video of the Wyrd Crew demoing the newly-released Malifaux. Can a game eschew dice altogether and still be fun? Oh yes... http://thescreamingalpha.com/2009/08/14/first-look-at-malifaux-by-wyrd-miniatures/ Edited August 14, 2009 by Curryman Fixed typo in link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtgmarketing Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you wander by again can you get some close-up photos of the Swamp demo table :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've got a few pics I'm gonna try posting with some close ups of game play on the demo tables and in the TTG's room. I'm at the airport now thought and will be on a layover in Chicago in just a while.....will try then. They were taken from my phone, so they aren't the best quality, but its better than nothing.

Curryman Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you wander by again can you get some close-up photos of the Swamp demo table :-) I'll do my best. It's often obstructed by crowds of people, though. That's a good problem to have, I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Awesome video! The game looks so nice! Can't wait to get my hands on the book. I couldn't hear it quite well on the video, but can all cards be put in card sleeves? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblyn13 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Awesome video! The game looks so nice! Can't wait to get my hands on the book. I couldn't hear it quite well on the video, but can all cards be put in card sleeves? Thanks. You are looking that the cards are a bi-fold design, so to be able to sleeve them and have an unobstructed view, you need to get a larger sleeve, I know Keltheos postedi n another thread what kind of sleeve to look for. But sleeves or laminating are kind of encouraged just because the cards all have a lovely bullet wound track on them to mark off damage from.

Malebolgia Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 So if I got it right: 1) bigger sleeves 2) laminate them 3) cut the fold and put them in two sleeves (HERESY! BURN HIM!) And the playing cards...will they fit in regular sleeves? Cheers for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetsamurai Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 this threaD should be in the malifaux section Cool video, even tough the sound ius not the best. I have a question about the game mechanics (damn slow mail, I wish I had my book now). When you use the card in your hand, it replace the card you flipped? If so, how does ability like critical hit works. Ericj said Critical strike does +1 damage per Ram in the duel total. If it's so, you can only do one extra damage with critical hit (or 2 if the ram suit is integrated in your combat), or do you also take the ram of your opponent if he flipped one?

thetang22 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 For the flipping and critical strike, as is stated, you get the +1 damage for each RAM suit in the total. Minions can have the ability to get +2, Masters have the ability to get +3. As mentioned, some stats have a native suit on them.....such as a character have a 5 (rams) for an attack. When they flip their card, they can get another ram. At this point, if they cheat fate, they can replace their flipped card with a card in hand, giving them a chance for that 2nd ram if they didn't get it on the flip. Lastly, only Masters have the ability to use a soulstone to flip an additional card off your fate deck to potentially get a 3rd ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draykin Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 From what I can see it looks great...YouTube keeps stalling at about 5:16. Great table and cant wait to get my cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curryman Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks for watching, guys. Sorry the sound isn't what it could have been. The hall was way noisy. I hope the sense of the game came through. I have some more Wyrd videos that will be going up in the next couple of days showing both the swamp and mining town demo boards, which both looked amazing.
