DeusInnomen Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 So, I'm standing in line at the Steak'n'Shake in downtown Indianapolis on a brief break before having to run back to the Paint'n'Take area where I worked all weekend when I get a text message from my wife, Aimee. She asks, "Hi, thinking of spending $100 on minis and getting sucked into a new game. OK with you?" Kind of the last question I expected to see from her, but I wasn't about to complain! That game turned out to be Malifaux, as you may have guessed. I eventually met back up with her and found her gleefully assembling her Colette box set. The Baby Kade and Candy figures were part of the Paint'n'Take free offerings this year, and eventually she figured out that they were from a game and that she really liked the figures a lot and enjoyed painting them. She also snagged a Dead Justice set. Myself, I ended up buying a Viktoria set off of Spoon (who I need to wave at and say "hell yeah, Spoon is awesome" because he totally is) and a Von Schill set, and earned myself a fate deck from Z at Wyrd by virtue of it working better for me than him when I used it and the Viktorias to back Von Schill into a corner and nearly won my first game ever played (sadly, my last fig was brought down by Hans). Needless to say, we're both hooked and looking forward to getting into the game more. I'm already in the process of infecting my local gamer friends with it, in fact. Hi, my name is Chris and I'm the latest resident of Malifaux. *waves* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alviaran Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Didn't know there was a place in/opening up in Downers Grove. I'm originally from Woodridge, though I live in Bloomington-Normal now. The folks are still up there so I will have to stop by if I ever get the chance. Also, I too had encountered Spoon and thought him awesome. He seems to have been a busy man this weekend.

nilus Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah Fair Games opened up less then a year ago. They are 90% board games but are starting to expand into Mini games and RPGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We plan on stopping by when we have a free Monday. Looking forward to getting in some more games, for sure. Just have to sit down and get to painting! Yes, Black Sun is sadly closing. They're having a clearance sale this month and ratching it up on September 1st, closing the 15th. More information is slowly showing up on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Black-Sun-Games/21270255138 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, Given that Mondays have been so crazy for me I am looking into changing or adding another regular play day. Maybe every other Saturday afternoon.

DeusInnomen Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Oddly enough, Mondays are actually easier for me to attend, but I can do the occasional Saturday. They just tend to get booked up for me with social events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
