Announcing Third Edition

[Dave]

Possibly, or maybe just the big reveal? Agree that it would make sense to have it for sale by then though.

Very much still excited for it. Seeing paralysis is gone as a condition is nice. Missing a turn always sucked.

Funny old thing, I quite liked dishing out paralysed when I could actually get it off - sort off made the risk worth taking.

Interesting that they've picked up on Pass Tokens, so negating out-activation with a ton of cheap tar-pit models (Ressers and Gremlins). It will be interesting to see how they then balance this; reduction in cheap models/increase in power and ability?

Tom, like you, I'm very interested in how this will pan out and hope it will be good enough to re-spark my interest.

Given the leak and subsequent announcement, I think if it's not ready for sale GenCon, they'll have some big issues to deal with. Especially as I'd expect sales to significantly slow up with all of the inherent uncertainty around how the game will play and how Masters/Themes will be structured.

In case anyone hasn't being looking, Wyrd have released some more details of what is changing with M3E in Waldo's Weekly. Card Draw, Size and Height, LoS & Vantage points and what you can and can't do with Soulstones all appear in this first instalment. Just go to the site and click on Waldo's Weekly...

If you're interested in the keywords that will relate to your current collection, and hence who you can hire, a recent Waldo's Weekly has all the answers (with the usual beta caveat);

Glad I didn't get painting with vengeance earlier this year! That said, a useful starting point if you want to get ready for the M3E release.

[Tom]

All seems pretty much as expected with mine. Hard to judge much without knowing their new rules anyway, Maybe I'm despairing at having to pay a premium for my favourite Witchling Thralls, maybe their (or his) rules have changed so they're no longer such an ideal Lucius lackey.

Reading back a few articles, I'm liking Dashel's new master card. Getting to have some serious summoning fun! Actual rules for his axe! I can see me having fun with him.

[Tom]

Looks like full open beta goes up this week. Probably not interested in playing until the final version but I'll certainly be having a nose through.

Waldo's Weekly: M3E is due to be released early summer (I'm assuming 2019... ). There is also going to be a book per faction. Could be interesting (read pricey) if certain keywords cross multiple factions.
