I*ll bring Ressurs/Redchapel for both games.

Those Death Marshals do look cool, but I am never happy to see undead hunters on the table.

30 Soulstones, for sure.

On a side note re. me looking for Kitty (see other thread) - would anybody be interested in the mounted Leveticus half of the Bargains Made box? The box has Levi (on a horse), Lynch, and a Soul Battery. If I got the box, would anybody want to buy Levi for a reasonable amount?

I'd be interested.

Wow, great new models. I love the Iconic ones, don't know about the new keyword, I am sure it will be powerful.

The new minis are nice, to be sure, but they dont tickle my fancy like some mali stuff does. That con exclusive fire dancer lady is exactly what I need for my showgirls, though. No chance I'll be able to get one, though, as obvs I wont be at the con, and Wyrd shipping costs are sky high, last I checked. Maybe ebay, I guess?

Quick rules post, spurred on by realizing The Archivist can be really rude to summoners.

@Balloonacorn I think we were playing it slightly wrong when you summon off of The Dreamer, because Step A, the first step, of Duels is "Modify the Duel," which includes spending a soulstone if you can and want to, to add a +flip or suit of your choice to the duel total. So if you're planning on soulstoning for the Mask you need for summoning, you do that before you know if the top card you are going to flip is a big Mask card or not.

I will reveal the Archivist strat because it is quite rude, and dirty tricks feel bad. If a summoning model gets a parasite, the Archivist can use Font of Knowledge on that model, since it's seen as friendly. They still get to resist, but if they fail, the Archivist gets to choose a suit in its Font of Knowledge duel total and change the suit in any of the targeted model's duels to that, until the End Phase. So as long as the Archivist wins and doesn't have a Mask trigger, he can auto-deny summoning by turning off the needed suit.

Very nasty indeed, but you must get a parasite on him first, which I will make difficult.

Thanks for the soulstone clarification. It makes sense.

@The Underdweller

Thanks for the good game as always!
I realized something big that's bad for Seamus though. His fast action, Cause for Celebration, lets him take an action no matter what, but only lets him ignore special requirements in italics by removing "target Corpse Marker on the enemy table half." For next time ;)
