Something Wicked This Way Comes...

Exciting times today- I got home after work to find this little beauty sat on my doormat...


That's right; one of the first hard copies of book 2 for Dracula's America! I suspect I may have made a small, high-pitched mew of joy at that point...

A nice, glossy, 96-page softback- heftier than I was expecting, but then I did get carried away writing it!

Ah, but it gets better- on the back page there was this:


Better finish the play-testing then, eh?!

  3. @Christopher Regan: Yep- Osprey are following the Frostgrave model, with a hardback main book and paperback supplements!

    @Leo Donkersley: I believe sometime in January. And many thanks- glad you enjoy the game!

  5. Hi Jonathan, great game, congratulations. One design question came to my mind: Why have the players to roll of if they have, let's say, one 9 of spades and one 9 of clubs?

    Kind regards

  6. Hi Jonathan, I agree with Gerhard, it's a great game.
    I have a silly question, when the players are in the Hunting Grounds (red card and everything is a plane), how do the figures interact? Can they fire their weapons? Is it only for melee fighting? What is the interest to summon a creature if it's too risky?

    Best regards.
