All: Thanks, folks! Well, it looks like Facebook doesn't want me- seems to think I'm impersonating myself or some nonsense- so I guess you're stuck with me here! Though I am thinking about maybe setting up a blog or something...

@Saucy Jack: Let us know how the game goes!

PERFECT!

See it's not all evil, facebook did you a service and refused you. Well done!

Looks like we may have a 4 player game this Monday, if I can paint fast!

I had my first game the night before and it was great. I already played several Western rules and yours are simple and quick. DA will certainly stay with us for the genre, although we haven´t included the supernatural aspect yet. This will of course be only a matter of time...  I dug out more crates and barrels to paint for cover immediately after the game and I also have more than a few gunslingers in the lead pile to come. Time to finish the last of my Congo miniatures to get into Weird West again! 
Thank you for a good set of rules!

Played our first campaign yesterday and had so much fun - will post some pictures and more info in the next few days.

Another few questions came up during the games:

1) If your boss gets Laid Up is it possible to recruit new members?
2)Fearsome skill: When exactly are opponents supposed to roll the Nerve test, when they make a Fight attack and/or when they defend a Fight attack?
3) If a model becomes Downed and then falls from an edge and receives another Downed result, does he become a Casualty?
4) If you are in melee is it possible to make two Fight attacks in an activation?

@Dartfrog: Looking forward to hearing about your 4-player game- you'll find that the card mechanic really comes into it's own the more players you have!

@Michi: Thank you very much for the kind words! 

@Saucy Jack: Glad you're enjoying it so far- don't forget to post up those pictures and info!

1) If your Boss is Laid-Up then you can still roll for Recruitment using their Grit Die- it's not so much that the Boss is actively looking for new blood themselves (he/she has henchmen to do all the legwork, after all!), it's more a representation of their fame drawing in new recruits from far and wide. This should have been stated explicitly, so apologies for the confusion!

2) As stated in the Skill's description, the effects of Fearsome kick in every time an enemy model Fights you- in other words, the Fearsome model must be the Defender. Note also that this includes the 'free' Fight granted by a Charge. Just so we're clear, a model Defending against a Fearsome Attacker does not have to Test their Nerve, as they are too busy fighting for their life to have time for any doubts!

3) Oh yes indeed! You can make as many Fight Actions in one Activation as you have Actions available- though against a Fearsome enemy, each Fight you perform against them would require a separate Nerve Test.

Keep them coming!

For those that may not have seen the post on Facebook I did a pretty in-depth review of Dracula's America. The link is here:

Thanks.

I have played this game several times. Once with four players. Really am enjoying this system. Finally got to play a game where we tried our factions powers. Can't wait to start a campaign of DA!

[Paboook]

I have finished reading the rules and as the Dude says: "it's fun man!" Really looking forward to put DA on the table.

Fenrir, please join FB even with a nickname. It will be appretiated by members of the FB group and you will be certainly awarded by all those amazing pictures and battle reports. Author's presence on FB is quite useful and encouraging for the players, as proves Frostgrave Joe and others.

As promised some images from our game(s) on Friday.

Many many more images on my blog: http://londonbymidnight.blogspot.dk/2017/08/draculas-america-first-campaign-games.html

Saucy Jack, GREAT scenery and minis as usual, CONGRATULATIONS! 

[dartfrog]

Wow! Looking great there. Loverly board and figures. Nice to see what's happening elsewhere in the DA world.

Thanks for sharing, Saucy Jack.  Looking good!

Perhaps this was asked before, but I´d appreciate if anybody could help me:
The rules say that a re-roll of another die (that hasn't been re-rolled yet) is allowed on a die roll showing maximum result (e.g. 6 on a D6). Is it allowed to re-roll another die (if available) if the re-rolled result will show another maximum result?
