Math Mathonwy Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I envision scheme cards for M2. Has anyone done such things already? If not, I think they would be a tremendous play aid. Each player should have their own deck of all the schemes. The cards should be normal size so they can be sleeved so that you can write on them with markers. Each card should contain the suit/number/condition that results in it being available for choice, a tick box to mark the scheme as a chosen scheme, the rules of the scheme and spaces to write down any choices that need to be made (like model names and such). The tick box would allow each player to have the whole set of available schemes in their hand so that they can easily see what schemes they should be bluffing about having and what their opponent's possibilities are (in addition to the chosen schemes that they are trying to complete, naturally). Anything else? Or is this a good idea at all? Also, anyone with graphical talent feel inspired to do such a deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimTullis Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've got a personal deployment/strategy/scheme deck with no graphics. I've also got a 9 card Deck that Tracks the Turn Number. Smooth WD40 had a scheme with Graphics for the BETA. Perhaps WD40 will re post it after the official release of ME2. Unless it got sat on by the Intelectual Property Police? My Scheme Deck is not normal sized. It's sized to fit Fantasy Flight's "Standard European Board Game" card sleeve size. This keeps it from accidentaly getting shuffled in with the Fate Deck.

The box in the upper right corner is to mark the scheme as chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Looking good as playing aides! Was actually hoping for an official Wyrd version of the Scheme deck, or one done in the same style as the upgrade/model cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_was_like_you Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Oh aye, I dearly hope that Wyrd would come up with such a product. Would buy it in a heartbeat! It would be nice, but for 1.5, it was Ratty who saved the day with these kinds of play aids. Just printed yours out on some cardstock. They look great.

ttsgosadow Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah, that would be fine as well. Good gaiming aids are a boon to Malifaux. I also printed and laminated the deployment pages and schemes to keep handy during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crikeymiles Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I've recently finished my own scheme cards too, linked in my sig. I think a box of cards for the schemes and strategies would be a great product from Wyrd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmageddonSky Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I've recently finished my own scheme cards too, linked in my sig. Those are freaking gorgeous scheme cards! Been looking to find some this morning and those are easily my favorite of the 5ish options I've tracked down so far. Any chance you are planning on doing some strategy cards to match? Side note: a couple things on your cheat sheet don't match up with the rule book, are those house rules or minor mistakes? You have a "Blind" option for deployment which isn't in the rule book and Red Joker on a healing flip should be Severe plus Weak not heal all wounds because you resolve them the same way you would a damage flip.

Been looking to find some this morning and those are easily my favorite of the 5ish options I've tracked down so far. Any chance you are planning on doing some strategy cards to match? Thanks, and yes, hopefully soon! Side note: a couple things on your cheat sheet don't match up with the rule book, are those house rules or minor mistakes? You have a "Blind" option for deployment which isn't in the rule book "Blind" deployment is in the rulebook, but under Story Encounter (see page 80). I tend to play story encounters as I'm a casual player, but it's a fair point! Shame the two tables are different. Also, "Blind" deployment ROCKS! I hugely recommend playing it. Red Joker on a healing flip should be Severe plus Weak not heal all wounds because you resolve them the same way you would a damage flip. Ooops! Typo! I'll correct that. (And also start playing the correct rules... :slap: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crikeymiles Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Any chance you are planning on doing some strategy cards to match? Alright, challenge accepted! I've updated the scheme cards with the core five strategies as well now, with a nice Raspy background. Available on the same link as above, just re-download to get them.

rythos42 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'd posted my version in another thread, but thought I'd toss them in here as well for variety. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByaAQGMZC_bHeDR1aGlrbXlqOVU/edit?usp=sharing (2.29mb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crikeymiles Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Oooh! They're lovely rythos42! Maybe it's better Wyrd don't print some. It means we get to have fun making them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rythos42 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've done an update to my cards, available at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByaAQGMZC_bHeDR1aGlrbXlqOVU/edit?usp=sharing A blue banner to mark StrategiesStars at the bottom, so you can check off how many VPs you've gotten from it.Some language, spacing and text size changes. Hope you enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
