Dragon Rampant Second Edition is official... Cover Inside!

[gibby64]

 It's finally here!! The hardback second edition! I had the joy of helping with photography and proofreading for this project. I congratulate Daniel on this fantastic achievement and urge everyone to pick up a copy when it comes out around October.

Nice cover art. Very much looking forward to this release.

Great news. Thought LR Second Edition was great. Really like the higher production and having a hard back copy of these rules.

We had another recent thread on this.

It looks like Dan has chimed in on why this is happening (when several of us thought it wasn’t) :

This is excellent news! I love the original version (even if I do not get to play often), and the added content sounds great. I will definitely be buying this!

Looking forward to this. I wonder, is the campaign system 1 vs. 1, or multiplayer? Having the luxury of 6-7 players showing up regularly, a one vs. one wouldn't be as useful.

We've been playing XR! and Lion Rampant lately, but haven't ventured into Dragon Rampant, yet. I have told everyone to hold off buying the blue book and wait till the 2nd Edition comes out.

I will watch out for the first reviews here. Is it known if there will be translations available at some point of time? It is a bit more difficult to find gaming partners otherwise due to people prefering to read and understand rules by themselves. I translated Ravenfeast into German, so that my brothers have it easier to get into the rules.

I think everyone is REALLY going to like the new magic in the game! Dan did a great job expanding it out.

Cool- I've never played Dragon Rampant but I'm always curious about rule systems. I've heard/read many people play this system, but don't know much about it. Will check it out.

I feel like the barbarian/warrior on the cover pays a bit of homage to the guy on the cover of the 3rd and 4th edition Warhammer Fantasy rulebooks.

3rd edition. I think it is definitely the case. They can't be too obvious, GW won't got for that, but several hints are there. Of course, we keep the red dragon from DR 1st edition.

Another Osprey rules set that I'm now an edition behind on.  Time flies.

Not yet you're not. You'll only be an edition behind in October!

can anyone point to a online depiction of actual game play that might explain some of the nuances of this particular game system?

[Rick]

There are a number of reviews, blogs and, indeed, youtube videos with examples of play - there is even a Youtube video entitled 'Dragon Rampant how to play'.
Was this thread your first (and only) port of call, or had you just missed those when searching?
Either way, a quick search should give you everything you need. Of the various sets of rules that use this system I think it works better, as a concept, with Dragon Rampant but that might just be me.

most of the reviews i looked at in the pastwere just a bit too general and more about selling the sizzle ( which tends to be a constant lately). i’ll admit hating watching videos most of the time.  it’s been a while since i last looked.
