Dragon Rampant Review

[Brummie]

Great review!

I picked up my copy at work, (we've sold out of them already so glad I had one kept back!) and had a chance to have a gander through it. Very nice ruleset, and really looking forward to getting a few war bands on the table!

Great review! There's still one question I'm dying to find an answer to. Has there been any addition or alteration to the Leader Skills? I mean that table you rolled on to determine a random skill for your leader before each game of Lion Rampant.

Very curious to this myself.

I don't have the book with me but if i don't misstanke My self you in Dragon Rampant roll 3d6 to determin your leader skill. So you got some more options to get.

Yep, that's right. 3d6, so there's now 16 traits.

I'd never heard of Books Etc before. Just gone in got Dragon Rampant and Lion Rampant for £13, free delivery! Thank you very much, that one's gone in the Favourites file.

Eagerly anticipating.  I have a copy on reserve at the local game store.

Thanks for the review.  I will wait patiently to purchase Dragon Rampant from my local FLGS.  Time to dust off my GW Lord of the Rings miniatures.

That's it. My resistance has been overcome. I just ordered a copy from Book Depository.

I'm sure this has been explained elsewhere before, but could somebody give me some insight how the reduced unit size mechanic works. If you field a unit of 3 trolls instead of 12 men, do you simply keep keep some dice marking how many man would have been removed and play like they are fighting like that number of men? (taking away a troll for every 4 men killed I guess) or is there some more complicated mechanic, do these bigger creatures keep fighting at full strength until removed and is there some associated point cost?

Yep, exactly this.

The Dice Bag Lady/Bad Squiddo Games already has plenty of Dragon Rampant books in stock if you want them now!

Turn up at Firestorm Games in Cardiff and she might even give you a demo game, you never know! She works about ten yards from a plethora of gaming table and probably has a couple of armies to hand.

My gnomes are in it too!

Excuse the mass of face, took the photos for the Facebook page and for some crazy reason it reaches more people with my bloody face in it! Last time I tried telling people I had the book in (before pretty much anybody else!) only about 20 people saw...frustrating! Don't want to be a big spammer but also.. "look I have it!"




I'm dubious of mass discounters - because, well obviously. I am a retailer that sells at RRP - but selling it at less than I (or any other friendly local or online gaming store) buy it for, and THEN free postage, is insane. It's not always about price, remember to support small businesses in the hobby. I had a weird time with Lion Rampant as the review I put on my website went crazy with hits, and the sales were teeny, as everyone was reading the review I'd stayed up all night writing (and photoshopping silly images) replying "amazing, I'll get that!" and leaving my site to go to pay the mass discounters/Amazon! *waves fist comically* Luckily, I've already sold more Dragon Rampant than Lion, so hopefully the tide is turning (I noticed a tide turn after North Star Nick posted something similar regarding Frostgrave)

Didn't mean to detract, and not ranting, just thought I'd point it out!

Cheers Amigos!

(Also, I had a cheeky game a while back as Dan had given me it on PDF, Ralph wrote it up here - more sheeps! It's a bit rules vague on there as we weren't allowed to talk about it at the time http://ralphslittleworld.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/dragon-rampant-at-firestorm-games.html )
