Steam Powered Scoundrels: A Malifaux Podcast

Friday Night Faux-Down - 6/5/21- Excuse Me, Mr. Shipman

We finally managed to wrangle Craig's schedule into submission and get him back to make up for the scuffed audio from last time. This go-round I'm happy to announce we lost NO AUDIO. So sit back, crack open a cold one with "the boys" and enjoy 90 minutes of Malifaux sass.
Topics:
Which character most deserves a horse/mount. How does this affect their gameplay?
You are Nexus. You can get mites into any existing master. Who do you infest and what do you have them do?
The influence of the Burning Man is starting to grow in Malifaux. Which crew is next to feel his burning embrace (after Wildfire and EVS).
What industry will gremlins completely take over/ruin?
What famous chef becomes a malifaux model and where do they go?
Pick a Spirit Animal for the next player in line that’s a malifaux Model (no Masters/Henchmen).
Make up a new Strategy or Scheme that will shut up people complaining about Runic Binding.
Malifaux gets its own fighting game spinoff. Who is in your favorite 3-person team? What's everyone's fun alternative costume?
You're transported into Malifaux and are gifted with magical abilities, what is your grimoire and the one of the spells it contains?
Pick a keyword. What (relatively) minor changes could you make to make this crew absolutely unplayable.
Jedza gets to bring back one DMH model as an enforcer. Which one do you choose?
Pick a faction. The person after you has to DMH a master from that faction and come up with a good reason for it.
 Which character would you want to snuggle and watch a movie with? What movie?

SPOILERS! spoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilers!
We got Dead Aussie Gamer back to go over the second half of From Nightmares. This has a LOT of information on Malifaux and answers a ton of questions we've had about the origins of the Neverborn, Tyrants, and Fae. I say it at the end of this episode, but please, give Through the Breach a try if you haven't already. It's an amazing game and needs more attention.
