Also, after watching this and the Runebound video, I've come to the conclusion that there's got to be a small carbon monoxide leak at FFG. These have to be the least excited people on the planet.

Or redid it. That image might be the old cover that no one liked because it looked too much like Ben Affleck.
I can't help but think that the minute someone read "Liberace" on the web they said, "damn, I knew he looked familiar. How come none of us noticed that before we published?"

Also what is the dude who make the board talking about. He looked at a bunch of maps...historical and modern and put the cities in the actual locations of cities? Am I missing something? The map portion, outside of changing the awesome sepia tone of the 2nd edition map to some gawd awful multicolored hue looks exactly the same. And while I'm on it? What game purpose does it serve or will it serve to have France, Germany and Italy different colors? The only border the makes a damn bit of difference is the Eastern/Western Europe boundary.

I think Mina's ability now pertains to revealing if Dracula is in her same "region" or not. Doubtless there will be a few other cards that care (or maybe the new rail system, that's been redone too? To eliminate dice? Ack, man, what the hell is going on with all the purging of dice)

It looks like the water territories are different.

Was reading the article on the new combat (diceless rps) and this section bothered me.
Now, more than at any other time in tabletop history, it is likely that when players take a game to the table, there will be one or more players that have never played the game before. So it has been a goal of ours to make games more accessible and create situations where a brand new player can compete on some level with an expert player. The expert player will still have more knowledge of the best strategies and all the possible interactions in the game, but the new player will have enough of an understanding to make informed decisions. With this mindset, we created what was essentially a complex version of Rock, Paper, Scissors to give the hunter players more knowledge of what their actions will do. I removed the dice entirely. I feel that, because you don’t know what your card opponent is going to pick, there is enough that is random and unknown.
The main thing that stuck out to me is wondering if this guy has ever played the game. Because its semi-cooperative and a single new player would most likely be working with the team of hunters.

I hope it's good. Whether you dig FFG's design philosophy or not you have to admit they've built some great systems and put out some great games. I just really hope this game is good. I don't want a re-imagined Games Workshop title to be the joke of the product line. That could happen in the Terrinoth setting and I wouldn't give a shit, but I don't want them to screw up the GW license.
EDIT: RPS mechanics need to stop. Just stop it. Stop doing that. It screams yes-man playtesting and makes the entire product suspect.
