We’re almost there. All hands are to the pumps making the final preparations for the Serpent King Games edition of Dragon Warriors to hit the e-stores, and the officially licensed product will be available once more.
We would hate to disappoint, so to be clear this is a “continuum” edition – the same books as you know and love (or are about to) from Magnum Opus, with a little further cleaning up of pesky persistent errata. An ongoing task with any rule book.
Just as soon as the books are available again we will let you know right here, so stay tuned!
And since we’ve announced that we shall also repeat that there are no current plans for a new reworked/revised/completely new system edition of Dragon Warriors, which we are often asked about. We’re full steam ahead on the Players Book (speaking of which I better start some artwork, eh? – Jon) and some new really cool supplementary material is beginning to take shape. And that’s our focus right now.
If you just can’t wait for something new, we’ve put up a brief history and description of the game, along with some useful links here: What is Dragon Warriors? which will hopefully be of use in spreading the word to those yet to experience the full thrill of a big dose of Legend right in the face.
And you saw this, right?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC50RVWi9nw
Exciting times!

So to confirm, you are not going to re-release (with errata) all the books that MOP have released, just new books or books exactly the same? I have all the books and PDFs so far, just wondering how much of a battering my wallet is about to take?
Looking forward to the Player’s Book… 🙂
@Machpants
I’ll come in again. 🙂 We are rereleasing all the MOP books. We are not currently making a new Dragon Warriors system, which is a consistent query whenever we mention releases. Which I have failed to pre empt with my confusing talk of new editions! 🙂
If you have everything already then we won’t take your money until the Players Book is released mid summer.
[…] Installing new company. Progress: 96.5% […]
I recently bought the Mongoose pack with the “revised” core book and all the other stuff, and I was very unpleasantly surprised by the “job” done on fixing the errata in the core book. Not only it was not fully fixed, but typos which were on the same page, some were fixed, and some not. I mean, whoever did the “fix” had the official errata document at hand! How is it even remotely possible that one fixes an error on page X and does not fix two other on the same page X?
Needless to say, I sold my revised copy and kept the old one; at least I had already annotated all the typos 😐
Anyway, looking forward to new releases from serpentking!
I have a question about the Player’s Book: will there be new class abilities for Barbarians and Knights at 1st level?
Cheers,
Antonio
Hi Antonio,
I think I read your post over on the Mongoose boards. We are currently completing some further passes of errata fixing as I type. It’s impossible to catch everything, but we will do our best to take it a step further.
As to the Player’s Book we will have some preview material as we get closer to release, and will be in a better position to answer questions then. There’s a lot of stuff in there, and the approach we’re taking overlays layers of stuff onto the existing rules. And that can make answering seemingly simple questions quite difficult! 🙂 Knights and Barbarians are both getting some love from rank one, though perhaps not precisely in the form you’re looking at here.
Thanks for the well wishes!
