Hi guys,
as a non-backer of the Requiem Kickstarter, I'm reaching out to some of the backers to hear whether Westwind have given you any specific date for when the PDF rules for all the new factions will be available for the backers and put on generel sale for non-backers.
-
Unknown? It was supposed to be nearly finished this week I think. When it goes on sale no idea. But there is a hardback book planned.

Any news regarding pdf rules?
-
Not sure - but the police rules have already arrived.
-
They seem to be busy launching there next kickstarter. The last update was something about the coaches and vehicles part needed proof reading.
-
Just had an email saying that the new PDF is ready, but at 114 pages they are adding in the interactive bookmarks so that it's readable befire unleashing it.
-
I hope its bigger than that the previous version was 176 pages................
-
Maybe that's just the rules section without fluff & pics?
-
Andy answered...
114 pages of new material, including Gentlemen and Jackanapes and the Peelers. So not including the original rules which are 154 pages (which would total 298 pages if we put both docs together, don't ask me to do that! it would be too big).
-
Downloaded! :D
Soon to be printed...
-
Yep, just downloaded it and had a quick glance. It appears that all the new factions are included along with rules for coaches etc. Not sure though when it will go on general release.
-
I was hoping that all the kickstarter figures would have rules, oh well...
-
I was hoping they wouldn't we don't need that many sprcial characters with profiles IMO.
-
Sorry, but it means I've paid good money for EotD figures that are not usable in the EotD game. I think I will stick with IHMN, at least that has rules for making your own profiles so they will be useable.
-
Ruledesign have never been a strength of Westwind. It's a shame the rules don't reflect the miniature design on so many occasions.
-
To be fair a lot of the kickstarter figures aren't factions in there own right. Almost more like re-skinned characters for you to theme your own factions round. I've not had a chance to sit down and read it properly yet.
-
I would think a number of people probably pieced together a "league of extraordinary Gents" with their points, so I kind of expected all of them to have character stats. I guess the invisible man, hyde and dorian might have been supernatural enough to have originally been set aside for the madscientists faction. Seems they would have to just be Imperial Adventure club, but somehow just a simple stat line change doesn't seem enough. Oh well, if Andy doesn't do it I'm sure some of us will.
On the plus side I think my famous authors just became I.A.C as well, so now time for some kickass writers.
-
I think as fans. If there is something missing then we should perhaps do it ourselves and submit it for everyone to use.

Just out of curiosity, which figures can't you use?
(I haven't read all the PDF yet)

Looks like a good plan to me.
I would suggest a few more scenarios or settings might be handy too.
-
Yup i am interested to know which figures cant we use?

Probably not the most accurate way to phrase it. There aren't (m)any that you can NOT use as an alternative figure for an existing profile, or will LIKELY be in the Baron/Monster group. But there are a number where you might think a separate nor specific and specialized profile would be in order. And it's that particular difference where some of us might be butting heads with west wind, but as mentioned above, I see nothing wrong with writing up a bunch ourselves and sharing.
Among those that are not covered specifically (please chime in if I am missing any)
The kickstarter stretch goal bonus figures (Most if not all) - these are tricky if some are exclusives.
Baron and Monster (so far)
Dorian (I would have thought it would have gone in the mad scientist list)
Invisible man (I would have thought it would have gone in the mad scientist list)
Burke and Hare (could fit in the Baron and Monster list I would think)
Hyde and the Dr (I would have thought it would have gone in the mad scientist list)
Mechana bat (Would be a good start, along with the Dr Octopus pic in the supplement for supers as a list/supplement)
Steam knight
Time Machines
Authors and Servants (not sure much needs doing, I considered these table decoration)

I would expect special rules for hyde, the dr. and monster, dorian, the invisible man and mechana bat and steam knight. Bruke and Hare as real life grave robbers don't need special rules.

Well i actually prefer rules given by the creator because they creator the Empire of the dead world and i would like to play characters in the world they created and hence the skills all set by the creator.
Anyway any good rules for Clickers?
-
Would love to see someone tackle the Wulfen Jaeger Wolfhounds and handlers so that they fit the old Vampire Wars figures - which I just purchased lol

The only dog handler rules so far are in the special branch faction and they don't say much. What so of rule are you looking for?
-
There are rules for Wolfen Jagers in the current Gentlemen list under affiliations
-
Im looking for rules that fit the Wulfen Jaeger Houndmaster models more precisely. The hound and handler are shown as one model om a larger base.
-
They've now done the very same thing with Alice and Tom, one model two characters. Try using the dog handler rules for the police dog handler.
-
Now a question the other way round: Rules given but figure missing. Does someone have a recommendation for me which figure of other manufacturers fits to Prof. Jerusalem?
-
Bit of a tricky one really. Especially given the background. You would need to convert a figure I reckon.
Personally I quite like Henriette Jekyll by Infamy miniatures she would need a mechanical arm and eye but that could be done with GS.

Lead Adventures very own.

The other option is to find a cloaked cultist figure and remove a hand and replace it with a mechanical one.

Thanks a lot for all the really nice proposals :) This mad female scientist is my favourite one!

My recommendation is Epic Warcaster Major Victoria Haley from Warmachine.
