streetsamurai Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hopefully, the new arcanist master will fit with Ramos more than Marcus and Rasputina. The only other model (except the ones that comes in his crew) in the arcanist list that fits with Ramos is Joss. all the other seem out of place (moleman with Ramos. I don't think so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think taking the Neverborn Que from the Nephilim & Doppelganger could mean more in the line of further types of demons and evil religous spirits. Maybe something like Loki the Trickster from Norse mythology. I personally would find this direction more interesting than archetypal horror creatures, but I do understand that would just be a personal preference. I Would love to loki/ norse mythology, would be hard to work in maulfaux, but well worth it and valkyries would be good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could be adapted with some aplomb, just look at the doppelganger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgowan Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 The only thing that I absolutely positively without a doubt NEED TO HAVE is a crew pulled from the show Carnivale. This game is the only one I can think of that would do justice to it. Healer, fortune teller, strongman, mentalist, non-undead "European Dancers," and actual honest to [goodness/evilness] AVATARs... sooo many possibilities for a Freak Show crew...

GuySmiley Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I think the major worry for Wyrd would be too much repetition with a Loki figure. If you choose to go with the trickster in either a Loki form or more Native American with the coyote, you start to run into themes. While it works great with Kade and Candy minions what new can you really build. I mean you can’t do the seductress as that is sort of the belles thing, or the old hag or old man which have been done. There are some great ideas that I think could be adapted. (a master or minion who has had there mouth sewed shut) I am not sure how far you could run with that. Although I will add the caveat that I am a bit fried from work so not real creative lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I would like too see the neverborn get some sort master that works with contructs (possible with the scarecrow idea on the neverbon topic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I like the scarecrow idea with a pumpkin-head. Makes me think of Sleepyhollow setting with a Pumpkinhead monster running around. Hmmm....is any part of Malifaux like a rural New England?

Murphy'sLawyer Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hey guys as for the Vampire thing I thought I'd just let you know that in OLD legends (and roleplaying system) Lilith is the oldest Vampire. So we already have a Vampire with the; ability- Blackblood;actions- Drain Blood, Blood from Stone; Triggers- Bloody Fate, and Disappear, not to mention the spell Alluring. I mean how much more Vampy can you get? It is not Bram Stoker's version of a vampire but I could do without a bad Romanian accent anyways.

Slappes Murphy'sLawyer, HELL NO get your mythos right, lilith far too hard to a vampire, if anything she is a human(or was at first), demon or a succubus, not a vampire.

goblyn13 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) If you really want to go for Lilith dates all the way to early Hebrew books: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith as well as in Goethe's Faust from 1808, which i'm sure predates pretty much any RPG book at present (except maybe that one by H.G.Wells) Edited April 13, 2010 by goblyn13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin Swarm Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 How about a renegade construct master? (Got smart/powerful enough to break free of control and strike out on its own.) Maybe as an Outcast master, but can hire constructs from any faction (with the +1 stone cost, like others can hire mercenaries). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Lilith does look (and act) Vampiric, (My EPIC Lilith looks even more vampric (She stole the wings and tail from a mature nepilim) I would like to see succubi and Dragons with lilith more than vampires currently, but there is space for the vampires in her brood And no freak show EVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zethal Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 There is a certain chemistry between 4 suits and 4 factions (plus the frequently present Mercenary group). I guess I'd be a bit surprised if a new faction showed up any time soon. Each of these factions are diverse enough in overall theme that there is much to do within each of them before needing another faction and the game mechanics could get bit awkward with a 5th.

Murphy'sLawyer Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 New "Faction" too awkward to fit in the game mechanics. Yes. Different flavors of crews within each faction, totally doable. And the four Factions are open enough to include any new crew you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyh Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I find myself agreeing that its perhaps better to continue to flesh out the current factions and branching those out. The current blend already demonstrates the option of high amounts of diversity in a faction. Rasputina's barbaric paganistic magic focus is quite removed from the ordered science of the steam fitters union for example. I would like to see a few different concepts explored, riverboat gambler types, chinese and european labor imports, a bartender master, maybe some sort of explorer faction that have found an ocean on malifaux and have "big daddy" style diving suits, huxsters and snake oil merchants, guild gallows crews, a jeckyl and hyde style master, a gambler master than can manipulate suits. Brilliant setting with so many possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant setting with so many possibilities. An underwater city would be pretty cool (I like the big daddy idea) perhapes if you did it like at atlantis, type city where the city sank below the waves (from an unkown reason) and still full of the dead, who lived there(resurectionists potential there), and possible giant sea monsters for the neverborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the four Factions are open enough to include any new crew you wish.[/quote'] I disagree, a new faction or 4 could be added easy. New factions could use suit combos or have a new suit all together. If you were playing the new faction you would take out one suit of cards in your deck and add in the new one. It could create some interesting choices if the new faction had triggers for all the suits. do I take out rams or masks this game? also since all triggers depend on your own deck it does not matter what suits are in your opponents deck. Hey WYRD how about a new faction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
