Press Release

7th February 2011, United Kingdom

Dragon Warriors, the classic 1980s dark-fantasy RPG recently re-released by Magnum Opus Press, is moving to new British publishing company Serpent King Games.

From 1st April the game will no longer be available from Magnum Opus, which had published Dragon Warriors through Mongoose Publishing’s Flaming Cobra imprint.

Serpent King Games will keep the existing Dragon Warriors books available, and will publish new supplements for the game. The first new release will be the Dragon Warriors Players Book, in July 2011, with another two releases planned for the first year.

Serpent King Games is industry veterans Gareth Hanrahan (former Mongoose Publishing writer and lead designer on the new edition of Traveller and the Laundry RPG), Jon Hodgson (art director at Cubicle 7 and cover artist for Dragon Warriors), and Ian Sturrock (ex-Mongoose writer responsible for the Conan and Slaine RPGs, but who also worked on most of the recent Dragon Warriors books).

“I’ve worked with everybody at Serpent King over the last ten years, and they are fiercely talented,” said James Wallis, director of Magnum Opus Press. “Dragon Warriors and the Lands of Legend are in the hands of amazing people who are going to take it in some very exciting directions.”

Dragon Warriors is SKG’s first project, but more great games are in the works. Check out www.serpentking.com for regular updates.

  2. Hi SKG, this is really good news! At the same time, eager as I am to see DW pick up again, I’m mindful of what has gone before. What are you guys going to be doing differently to ensure that DW doesn’t collapse again? How can the communities (Yahoo and Wiki) help and what will you be doing?

  3. Hello to all at the new home of Dragon Warriors. I’d like to take the opportunity to wish you all good luck with the franchise. I look forward to seeing good things for us all.
    Best,
    Tom

  4. Glad to see Dragon warriors has a new home with a new company, good luck and here’s hoping you grow into a nice sized company with many other great franchises under your scaley wings 🙂

  5. Many thanks for all the support!

    @Mike: We’re still working on our grand plan, but we’re going to aim for more frequent releases and try to bring more people into Dragon Warriors through the Legend setting.

  6. Glad to see Dragon Warriors has found another home!

    Any chance on getting softbacks, digest rulebooks, or maybe an introductory box set in addition to the existing hardback corebook? I often buy a copy for play and another sturdier copy for dis-play.(I don’t think I’m alone in this, but I could be wrong! :-)) And of course, an intro for new players is always a good thing, I’d say.

    Best of luck with the re-launch!

  7. Coolest news I’ve heard in a good while. Shit, I better get a wriggle on with stuff.;)

  9. Thanks for the answer Mytholder. Does the comment regarding setting mean that SKG is planning to offer Legend divorced from DW as a game setting then? Or even attached to another game mechanic? Just interested…
