Orlando_the_Technicoloured Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well here's another KS that I'm going to be interested in Through the Breach is an RPG set in the world of the Malifaux skirmish game (made by Wryd) The games writer Mack Martin who has written for Fantasy Flight games said "Hey guys! I'm the Wyrd RPG Developer. I thought I would duck in here, drop a little bit of information, and then disappear again in a cloud of smoke, leaving you wanting more. [MANIACAL LAUGH!] Not to give to much away, but I'm a big fan of games with non-linear progression of player characters. I feel pretty strongly that Malifaux is in a unique place where the game can properly serve two masters, when it comes to "Theatre of the Mind" vs. "Tabletop Grids". An RPG is a different beast than a Miniatures game, and I've worked on both long enough to know where the line blurs, and where we need to make it clear. The RPG team is really excited about this project... we think we might be doing something incredible that really challenges players and Fatemasters with a robust gaming experience. I've taken a lot of inspiration from classical story pacing, as well as strong thematic under-pinning. We are working hard to make this a game where the mechanics support the theme and story, integrating the two in an inseparable way. I love the list of games CRC tossed up. I'd like to off up my list of "inspirational games" that I didn't help make. Try not to read to much into it, these are just the games that make me want to break out the dice and start a campaign whenever they get mentioned. I love their mechanic systems. Shadowrun Dresden Files All Flesh Must Be Eaten Deadlands Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (3rd Edition) Dungeons and Dragons (4th Edition)" If this contains enough of the Malifaux background I'm really keen to get hold of it as I like where Wrd has gone with it, but am not interested in it as a skirmish game so havn't been buying the books, but as an RPG, yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exwilly Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 im going to have to back that one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrift Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I own a pair of Malifaux models. I bought them b/c I thought they were cool and could slide into my DnD game nicely. I could definitely see myself backing this as an alternate to my normal DnD game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturne Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I like some of Malifauxs designs, as long as there's a pick and choose option I'll likely be into this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I got a slew of them during a sale (mostly resurrectionists), some really decent minis. I'm glad this is for the rpg and hope it's light on minis :p No time for rpgs, but minis would be quite tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'll be in on this, at a base level at least, as I think they Wyrd setting will make a great RPG. Here's hoping they can do as good of a job as Privateer with converting their system and setting over to an RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithaqua Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I played some Malifaux in the past, it had nice game mechanics and cool miniatures. Looks like the new minis are 3D printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ya they've moved to 3d sculpting because people were, justifiably so, compaining about miniature sculpt quality. They have some real inconsistancies with their stuff quality wise. They could have gotten around this by hiring some better sculpers instead of the ones known to be quick, that did most of the complained about peices, but they also wanted to get away from metal like Privateer is doing as those prices just keep going up.

recruittons Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 With the early backer gift (A free Miss Terious mini with a $60+ pledge), I'll toss in for the books at $60. The free Miss Terious is only if you back before Friday at 5pm PST. If you want this rare mini, it's good to at least place a token pledge and then decide if you want to keep it later.

MonkeySloth Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Miss Terious is a good mini, but I've already got her. Guess I shouldn't complain about free stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recruittons Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Miss Terious is a good mini, but I've already got her. Guess I shouldn't complain about free stuff though. Looking at her ebay value, you could make back a good chunk of your pledge from selling her off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
