I totally agree with this and wish game covers went more in that direction.
Does anyone know why FFG changed CitOW to the new terrible cover with Nurgle? They had a great one.
I don't think the cover art is all that bad, but I loves me a bandwagon! Obviously trying to tie into the Cthulhu Mythos, by making Drac a Deep One with his webbed hand.
$60! That's nice. I am glad they didn't try to push the envelope here. As long as the older versions are playable, we know there's at least a ton of awesome gameplay in the box. Seriously, for folks that are trying to abide by the whole "No more than ten games" or "Play games a bunch a times" ethoses, this is one that can make the cut.
You know I was just sitting here thinking about bitching and complaining about this some more but then I realized that I'll probably wind up with a copy of Fury of Liberace...because it is one of the great games, one of the all-time classics and one I would seat in my top 10 favorites.
The board is OK-ish now I have seen a better view, nowhere near the 2nd Ed one while the rest of it is OK if you were buying it for the first time, similar to other FFG products. I was a bit unimpressed with the short description on combat (possible that it was not covered properly) as it sounds like the weapon vs weapon interaction, that I quite like, won't exist this time. And I can see where they are going with the Actions, bringing it into line with most FFG games (I suppose so people with other FFG games pick it up easier) and perhaps the Hunters having 2 turns to Dracula's one may make it more of a hunt rather than hide and seek.
Can't understand how people take 4 hours to play this, although our group doesn't run that much with Drac, but you'd think that Dracula would have won on VPs before then (say 4 days survived and eitehr a kill or matured vamp) - and if we are a couple of hours in, have Dracula either cornered of running from us and then he pulls the teleport card we will usually call it then as a win for Drac.
We play this often, probably contributed to by being very low on players these days and it is a great option for three players.
Why thank you for that show of support, Barnes. I'll pass it along to my lesbian step daughter, my bi-sexual younger step daughter, my good friend Brian whose wedding to his partner Eddy I gladly attended long before it was hip and trendy. I'll also let the many women with whom I often go motorcycle riding that you are one hundred percent behind their sexual orientation though I find it to be a non factor in how cool and hardcore they are. And any and all people I meet whose homosexual orientation becomes known to me for whatever reason.
Of course, that in no way justifies or excuses your long running pattern of dismissive and disdainful comments directed towards the enthusiasts of our hobby. Of course I suppose prejudice, such as you display with the blanket statement quoted above, is ok if it's directed at the "right" people. And how will we know who the right people are? I'm sure you'll tell us.
PS, if I recoil from anything it would be your insufferable hypocracy and unearned sense of superiority.
