Kickstarter Watch #4: Through the Breach

Been awhile since the last kickstarter watch. Let's just say I didn't really do a lot of watching around kickstarter for some time. Anywho for today's Kickstarter Watch I will look at Through the Breach. This is a Role Playing book for the Malifaux setting. Malifaux itself is a very interesting tabletop miniature game which replaces dice with fate decks which adds a whole new layer of strategy involving hand management and sometimes bluffing.

The setting itself is a combination of steampunk, horror, western and victorian setting all mashed into one very cool package. I'm a big fan of the miniature game and the RPG obviously got me hyped.

What interests me:
- Unique setting(steamvictoriohorrorwestpunk)
- Also uses cards instead of dice
- Great looking arts and exclusive miniatures

It is a bit pricey but for those who wanted to pay more they do offer quite a lot of interesting incentives, including exclusive miniatures and having your own character drawn and included in the book. For RPG enthusiasts, don't miss out on this really interesting RPG and for those of you who want to know more check out their Kickstarter page at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1334239018/through-the-breach-a-malifaux-roleplaying-game

More Malifaux, MOAR!

Went almost two months without posting anything again...typical :P
Anywho, my Lady J and Som'er Teeth crews are done.
I've since bought enough minis to create another crew with Perdita Ortega as the master :D

Some random stuffs

Well, I actually don't have any relevant news of story or whatever to post here but I decided to post something anyway :D

First, on the miniatures front. My Malifaux Lady Justice Crew Box has arrived about 1-2 weeks ago and I've started painting it. I've done Lady Justice and The Judge and my friend did two of the three Death Marshalls. So it's one Death Marshall to go.

Another friend of mine ordered the Gremlins Crew Box and it has arrived a few days ago. He asked me to paint his army so I'll going to do just that after I finished all my work(level design for an iPhone game, rules draft for another friend's miniature game, article for Gamezine, and painting my own miniatures).

Now, off to the MMO front. Since Warhammer Online I've been in and out of some MMOs, mostly international ones. I've tried DDO, Dragon Oath, Runes of Magic and recently, the closed beta of Allods Online. Allods Online is really interesting. It has similar features and feel as World of Warcraft but it's free and offers cooler races to play(love those Gibberlings and Arisen). I tried an Arisen Mage on closed beta and I'm loving it(especially since the Risen Mage's higher tier armor looks similar to the Cryxian Iron Liches from the Warmachine miniatures).
In short, cool game, cool races, looks great, plays nice and a must try for MMO lovers.

Alright, next...
I've just pre-ordered the Dragon Age RPG book from Green Ronin yesterday. It costs quite a lot of money but I think it's worth it. I got the PDF for free because of the pre-order and I'm satisfied with what the book has to offer, although it only offer content until 5th level.
I need to read the book and study the rules and after that I'm going to make an RPG campaign with it. Can't wait to play it with my friends at the store(my store, Gamer's Ground).

well, I suppose that's all...
I'll post again when something more interesting comes up.
Maybe some photos of my Malifaux army and some screens from Allods Online.....or not.

Malifaux

After Infinity, I searched around the net for some other interesting miniature game and found Malifaux. At first I wasn't really impressed by their miniature lines but after having the time to look at them carefully I love them. Here's the website for those who wants to see: www.wyrd-games.net

Aside from the interesting and characterful minis, Malifaux's gameplay really interest me. First, it uses no dice and instead uses playing cards(or custom made Fate Decks that could be replaced by normal playing cards) to resolve everything. Second, the game is more objective-based and not just some random slaughter-fest like most game I've played. Other games also implements objectives and such but I haven't seen one that implements it like in Malifaux.

So there it is, the unique miniatures and unique gameplay really made me fall in love with this game :D

I ordered the Lady Justice starter box and Perdita Ortega(not the box). My Perdita Ortega miniature has arrived just yesterday and I'm going to try to paint her like Tifa in Crisis Core.
I'm thinking of buying another starter as my second army. I'm thinking either Pandora(Neverborn Faction) or Rasputina(Arcanist Faction).

Here's Perdita:
