Hey all! Wyrd Games has been teasing Malifaux players with a Malifaux RPG for a few months now, I just saw this pass through my feed on twitter:

Wyrd Games (@wyrdgames) wrote:RPG - Nov 27 - be ready, there will be an early pledge gift


Hi All,

The Kickstarter for the Malifaux RPG - Through the Breach - Is now LIVE.

Find it here:
Through the Breach Kickstarter



As you can see, there are many exciting rewards we've put together for backers, including some special edition gear for Malifaux. If you get in early enough, you can get a Miss Terious too, so don't miss it!



Oh, and don't forget to check out Hannah. She's a favorite around the office.




So I've been back tracking through Wyrd's website and am collecting things related to the RPG here.

This teaser trailer was released a week ago. It's pretty vague but it kinda sets up the mood for the whole RPG:




And Wyrd hired Mack Martin, a game developer for Fantasy Flight Games, and a former host of the old podcast Dice Like Thunder, and here is what he has to say about the RPG:

Mack.Martin wrote: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)


There has been much speculation about what we can hope to see in the Malifaux kickstarter, Wyrd has been asking their forum members, as well as a design contest for their logo (though they have decided on one).


I'll try to keep this up to date as things come in.

Also, if someone could screen cap the logo from the end of the youtube video, I would greatly appreciate that

Stretch Goals Update #1
November 30th - over 400% of funding goal

Hi everyone! It’s not time for the Daily Update, but we’re updating early as Northern California is in the middle of a flood warning and wind advisory and we might lose power any time.

Yes, this means it’s time to reveal Stretch Goals! These two goals have already been cleared, and the rewards unlocked for anyone pledging at $125 and above!

$50,000: Fate Deck cards will be plastic

$100,000: One additional Special Edition Fate Deck

There are more Stretch Goals waiting to be reached, so read on to see what Fate may have in store! These rewards also apply to pledges at $125 and above (except for one very special goal that applies to every reward level).

$150,000: One Male or Female Multi-Pose Mini (random gender)

$200,000: A Pad of Character Sheets

$250,000: One Special Edition Hanging Tree Mini. This miniature is of the most prominent landmark in all of Malifaux, originally made available at Gen Con 2012.

$250,000: for all pledges $60 and above receive a Digital Version of the books

$300,000: ???

Reminder: backers who pledge $60 or more by 5 p.m. PST today will receive a Miss Terious as our Early Supporter Thank You, and you can always change your pledge at any point without losing your Miss Terious.

Finally, check the FAQ’s on our home page as they have been updated to address some very important questions!

Until Tomorrow!

Backer Only Updates
Spoiler:
Backer Update #1

Hi everyone!

Day One is coming to a close, so it's time for the Daily Update. First off - Thanks to everyone for your awesome support!

Next is a quick note on Stretch Goals. Stretch goals are in the works, but we won't start releasing them until Friday (11/30) at 5:00 p.m. PST, when our "Miss Terious Early Bird" period ends.

Finally, a housekeeping note - we'll be doing one update every day around 4-5 p.m. PST, so if the updates get to be too much, go ahead and unsubscribe and check in on us at your leisure. It's going to be an action packed Kickstarter though, so don't fall behind!

Until Tomorrow!


Backer Update #2
Wyrd Miniatures wrote:November 29th - over 280% of funding goal

Hi everyone! Day Two is coming to a close, so it's time for the Daily Update. Thanks for your incredible support!

First, there’ve been a lot of people concerned about losing their Miss Terious if they change their pledge level. We’re happy to say that you can change your pledge at any time, and your Miss Terious is completely safe. It is important to know that if you CANCEL your pledge for any reason, even if it’s just to create a new pledge, the Miss Terious will be forfeit. Check the FAQ’s out here ( www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer%20questions%23BackAProj ) if you’re unsure about how to change your pledge without canceling it. And, don’t hesitate to message us if the FAQ’s don’t answer your questions.

Many backers and potential backers are talking about the Project’s reward levels, and that’s good! We want your feedback and suggestions. Our design for the Through the Breach Kickstarter is certainly off the beaten path, and with good reason. The folks in charge of Kickstarter have encouraged all project creators and project backers to be aware that Kickstarter is not a store and they don't want to see it run like one. We've tried to put together a compelling project that needs your help and feedback to succeed, with exclusive and enticing rewards if you choose to participate. Now that we’re funded, our promise is sealed; we will be producing Through the Breach. If you’re excited about the game, but not so much the Kickstarter rewards, we encourage you to get out and support your local game store when we launch the RPG!

Until Tomorrow!

Backer Update #4
December 3rd - over 516% of funding goal

Hi everyone!

Day Six is coming to a close, so it’s time for the Daily Update! We’re rocketing into our first full Kickstarter week with a brand-new kind of update. Read on to discover the “Breach Side Chat”!

First though– catching up from the weekend! Thanks to your support, we blasted past ANOTHER Stretch Goal!

$150,000 – ACHIEVED receive an additional Male or Female Multi-Pose Mini (gender determined randomly)

We’re working hard to process your questions and suggestions. For some tasty morsels of information on Through the Breach, head to the Gamer’s Lounge and catch their special with Mack Martin! Bill (author of the special) says it’s “a full hour of Mack Martin answering as many questions as I could drag out of him. Kickstarter, Fluff, Character Creation, Fate Deck, and anything else he would tell us.” http://gamerslounge.coda.net/2012/11/30/gamers-lounge-special-through-the-breach/

Finally, get your texting, emailing, chatting units ready for the chance pick Mack’s Malifaux brain! Tomorrow from 5 p.m. ‘til 6 p.m. PST (12/4), our very own Mack Martin will be answering YOUR QUESTIONS live on UStream TV for our first Breach Side Chat! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/through-the-breach

Won’t be at a computer during that hour tomorrow? We gotcha covered. You can ask Mack questions any time in our Kickstarter Comments section (just address them “@BreachSideChat”) and he’ll see your question for the next Breach Side Chat. Plus, we’ll record every session and post it on the UStream Channel, so you can replay any Breach Side Chat you missed.

Every week, we’ll host a Breach Side Chat at a different time to try to accommodate a breadth of schedules and time zones. Keep an eye on the Updates for info on upcoming Chats!

Until Tomorrow!

I'd love an RPG book with lots of backgrounds and details for the setting

less concerned with the mechanicsas I probably wouldn't end up using it as, but blending it into something else

I completely agree, there is a good chunk of Malifaux detailed in the books, but something that fleshes that out even more amg?! Apparently no one follows Wyrd on twitter, because this hasn't been brought up on their forums

This has some pretty serious potential. I adore steampunk settings, and the addition of high-level magic in Malifaux is awesome. I'm not big on the horror aspect, but hey, i'm still sitting on 2/3 likes here.

Also, that trailer was way corny. Seriously.

Who the hell smokes AND chews at the same time? lol

And the "portal" train tunnel reminded me too much of Wile E. Coyote to not laugh at it.

Other than those two things, its better than what GW usually puts out.

A true nicotine addict... I worked at a camp and there was a guy that had packed his bottom gums with chew, his upper gum with a packet of snus, and was smoking a cigarette.

The portal seemed like a rejected animation for the opening of Doctor Who.


I'm curious to see what happens

I have a few gamers who really liked the setting but lack the mindset to play miniatures games, this may make them happy.

I tend to be a traditionalist when it comes to my RPGs, and I have trouble breaking out of my set desire to play only D&D and occasionally GURPS.

However, I love the Malifaux setting, and if they offer special-edition miniatures along with this Kickstarter, I may get it for the lore and minis alone.

I'm very much the same way. I own World of Darkness books, the IKRPG, and probably a few other Free RPG day systems, and I have them mostly for the lore and the background... DnD and Pathfinder (i.e. d20 systems) are my thing...

Any word on this or Wyrd's mysterious birthday sale? I'm cool with mysteriousness and whatnot, but even with the internet to aid, this is still feeling pretty esoteric, coming from someone who's a pretty big fan of their game/company...

I always thought the breach was out in desert, not stuck on hill.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also an RPG in that world might get me interested in RPG's. D&D just can't seem to capture my attention, maybe this will. Either way, if it's cheap enough or comes with sweet minis, they'll have my money.

Yeah, but he was also involved with some of the FFG 40k RPG line, which is definitely promising, as I've really enjoyed them.

Mack Martin said something today on Wyrd's forums that if you already play Malifaux, you'll already have what you need to play Through the Breach.

Which means, it will probably be card based instead of dice based

Nope-- you actually throw models at each other (or the GM) to determine success, that's what he was referring to. Malifaux minis are just the recommended brand.

You should really learn to read between the lines...

Its not up on Kickstarter yet... And there hasn't been an update to their twitter feed yet either.

If you want to get the most up-to-date updates I suggest following them on twitter, it seems thats where they are most active.

Dang! I should have expected this from a former Dice Like Thunder member thanks!


Edit: I guess Caty's statement should be backed up. Last night on twitter they said there was some form of technical difficulties, and that the kickstarter would be delayed, but they're keeping the early pledge level open for 1 day longer.

If you pledge early (during this early pledge time period) you'll get a Miss Terious model for Malifaux for free...

I've already got 3 for my Lady J demo crew, so a 4th one will go towards event prizes

Miss Terious is a nice model. The one I get from the kickstarter is going towards replacing the one I used as prize support at the Warstore Weekend.
