Wow, then it makes absolutely no sense that you had a problem with F:AT showing support for an issue that directly affects people close to you and that you care about.

"Insufferable hypocrisy and unearned sense of superiority"...amazing! I'm going to add that one to "violent redneck", "doesn't add anything of value" and "pickled ham eater", the epithets I've collected over the years. Good stuff!

Do let me know when you're done trying to lock horns with me, would you? I mean, we know you have big giant balls already. Most folks here would much rather talk about games- and see honest, unfiltered opinions about the hobby- than see you crap all over a thread by trying to get into a battle with me.

You see Mad Dog, that's how you show you're not really a bad fellow after making a lame gay bashing joke. You thank a rainbow flag twice. It was all in good fun....right?

Quoted for truth and irony.

Back OT: I kind of like the new board. The whole thing has a reddish hue - which is accentuated by the red roads - that makes it look lurid and blood-soaked like something out of a Hammer film. I understand someone preferring the 2nd Ed. board but I don't think it's clearly better than the new one.

To be honest, the 2nd Ed. box art is a hot mess, too, it's just that Dracula is small so it's easy to overlook how crappy he looks. Plus the whole look is kind of muddy and indistinct from any distance greater than a couple feet away. I actually think the new box is an improvement... except for Dracula's head (Liberace by way of Pee Wee Herman) and hands (Deep Ones). I like the shade of green they picked and the bats are clever, but yeesh that face, it dominates the picture and overpowers everything else.

As for the combat, I didn't read anything that indicated it would be a significant departure from the 2nd Ed. card-based combat. I don't know if the 6 round limit they mentioned is a new rule but otherwise it sounds the same.

I'm looking forward to 3rd ed. I love the shit out of 2nd so I'm very curious about the new one.

The new character portraits are fantastic and I love the logo.

2nd ed's combat is very fun and tension filled, I hope the new one doesn't streamline those two elements out.

To each their own taste ... but in this case sucks to have your taste.

As for the combat, I didn't read anything that indicated it would be a significant departure from the 2nd Ed. card-based combat. I don't know if the 6 round limit they mentioned is a new rule but otherwise it sounds the same.

Then you need to read a bit more, try the combat example and card images here www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/fury-of-dracula/

I went to go look at the rules differences you were talking about and accidentally saw the cover art again and barfed in my mouth a little.

I did that but I was drinking computer cleaner at the time, does that count?

I've been wanting to get into this game for a little while. I'm sure it's been mentioned, but is there a release date for it yet?

Q4 of 2015

I read the description of the new night/day rules for the hunters and it seems like it isn't a big change. It sounds like each hunter gets one day action and then each gets one night action. Movement can only be performed as a day action, so the difference boils down to that if a hunter chooses not to move on his turn he can heal twice, or resupply twice, or heal & resupply. It also says something about it being more perilous to resupply at night.

I used this idea for my GW edition FoD. But I bought cheapo colored wooden chess pieces. I'd still like to do the weathering/stained look but haven't gotten around to it.

Either way, it's a fantastic idea.

Way too early to tell. Spectre Ops is hidden movement stripped down to its bare essentials. The result is refreshing and plays brilliantly, but I suspect its simplicity may count against it in the long run. Both editions of Fury of Dracula tell a story in a way that a simpler game never could.

Michael Barnes wrote: The original version had a couple of minor issues (and the whole "cheating Dracula" thing was possible), the FFG edition kind of gummed it up in an attempt to add more...FFG-ness.


I never quite understood this complaint. If your Dracula player is cheating then you have a serious problem with your players, not with the game itself.

If they have added some unnecessary new chrome to this edition, I totally want to be the "pickled ham eating violent redneck" hunter...

Everything about this new edition seems pretty good...except that damn box art. When you look at the actual in game art and overall graphic design it is even more baffling.
