"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.

Quoted for truth and irony.

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.

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.

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 each their own taste ... but in this case sucks to have your taste.
Then you need to read a bit more, try the combat example and card images here www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/fury-of-dracula/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 did that but I was drinking computer cleaner at the time, does that count?

Q4 of 2015Tim Champlin wrote: 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?
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.
