micahwc Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I recently moved. Yesterday I checked out the lfgs to see if anyone here plays or has even heard of Malifaux. I have a habit of moving to places where no one has ever heard of it. They had. They explained they had no interest in seeing it because it was "too French, and French games are wierd." I didn't really know how to reply to that. They were serious. They had never even seen it played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorian Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'd try to explain it's an American game, from Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 sounds like its time to move again? eh? Actually I may be moving to Savannah, GA. According to the spreadsheet it is also a place where no one plays Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucidicide Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 As far as reasons for not playing a game, at least this one is amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfndrate Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I could see the perception of the game being "too French" as Malifaux is a french sounding word, in addition to being a part of a small town in France. There are many French sounding names in the game, but most people should be reminded that most of those are of a Southern US/Creole influence... Such a silly reason to not play a game... You know what you need to do? Apply to be a henchman, and start getting people to play this game that is Too French *wink* Edit: Colette and the LaCroix are most likely derived from Louisiana Creole French...

Soul Puppet Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 in addition to being a part of a small town in France. Not so much these days but when I used to Google Malifaux a year or two ago, this came up frequently... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Genest-Malifaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micahwc Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I've tried teaching people to play the game but it is something that I am not particularly good at. Plus, most of the people I have taught are not the kind of people that would go out and invest in a new game system. The store here is advertised as a games store, but it is clearly geared towards warhammer/40k/lord of the rings. They sell a token amount of other stuff, but the vast majority is games workshop. I've offered to demo a game if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kad Baz Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Actually I may be moving to Savannah, GA. According to the spreadsheet it is also a place where no one plays Malifaux. There may not be anyone in Savannah, but if you make it near A-town, there is a group that meets on Thursdays at Tower Games in Suwanne, which is a bout 20 minutes northeast of Atlanta proper. (http://www.thetowergamecenter.com/). The Wyrd website also says that Galactic Comic and Games in Statesboro plays Malifaux, and they are much closer to Savannah. If anyone ever says they think the game is "too French" I really need for you to put on your best Pepe Le Pew accent and shout "Mon Dieu ! Ce n'est pas français ! Vous American ignorant !"

Mister Shine Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 There's been a French coup trying to take over our language, Malifaux seems to be the pièce de résistance against our paper mache forces of English sovereignty. I fear what they'll do for an encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Lucius I know of is from the Harry Potter movies and he doesn't look or sound French to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
