Tuesday Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hello! With the help of my boyfriend I've been getting sucked further and further into tabletop gaming as a whole, admittedly more on the painting-minis side as I'm not really very good at all the strategic and rule-based aspects. XD We've been kind of casually following Malifaux and Wyrd for a while, but the release of Colette's crew sealed the "OMG WE HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME" for me at least, and just now at GenCon we got the things necessary to play. So right now I just have my Colette crew and a few odd models that I thought would be fun to paint for the most part, but I'm looking to expand my knowledge enough to at least play competently with others, and just have fun talking with people about this awesome game.

chaosobscuros Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Welcome to the forums. Colette is incredibly fun to play. You made an excellent choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuesday Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Pipeline-- Thanks! I'm in Peoria, which sometimes seems like the middle of nowhere and everywhere at the same time. XD Chaos-- I have to admit the choice was largely cosmetic at first (I've always been a fan of that kind of old magician/dance hall aesthetic, and Colette vaguely resembles a character of mine that I've wanted a mini for forever), but she's been growing on me as far as what she can do in-game as well. I just hope I can do her justice someday Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeline Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Peoria. Home to the Rivermen. Again, welcome to the fun house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Great to hear you picked it up, and of course that Colette tempted you to Malifaux. She'll be good for both your painter side and your gamer side I think. Enjoy! Welcome to the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos45 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well not in Peoria, but in Bloomington so not so far away. ATM I dont know of any game store in the immediate area carrying Malifaux, me and a buddy have a fair amount of stuff and play here and there on top of a ton of other tabletop/board/RP games. So if you guys are interested in trying to get a game together let us know, have tons of play space at my place as I have my own game den with 3 8ft tables.

icemantis99 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's 60 miles to... Peoria?? *shrug* We have half a tank of gas, a carton of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it! Welcome to Malifaux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Welcome to the Forums. Mount Prospect is a bit of a cruise from Peoria for casual play but we do run Tourneys and events up here in the Chi-town area every couple of months if you ever want to take a hike up here.

Malifauxcurr Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Badass! I live in Des Plaines, right next door to Mount Prospect. Games Plus, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Albrecht Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm not really very good at all the strategic and rule-based aspects. I swear, I will teach you to make people fear the frills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuesday Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I swear, I will teach you to make people fear the frills! Hello you. I cannot wait to make people fear the frills! And I'd kind of forgotten about this thread here-- if there's a possibility for games in Bloomington, that'd be awesome. I used to make that drive so much it's nothing at this point. But I am still a casual player right now-- if you'd be looking for.. well, competence in an opponent it may be a short while (and a few more visits to Jonas my mentor).
