Universalis Revised
More than just a third printing with corrected errata the Revised
edition features text that has been nearly 80% rewritten with the benefit
of three years of experience and player
feedback. Greater clarity has been brought to every section,
especially the chapter on Complications.
I’ve
also included some additional content. Universalis introduced the
concept of the Rules Gimmick, a formal process for introducing house rules
into your game to customize your own play experience. Some of the Gimmicks
that have been introduced by fans have become so widespread and commonly
used that they are practically standard at this point, so I’ve inserted
them as options in the appropriate chapters.
While
the rules have not changed significantly, there are enough changes to the
text to warrant calling this the Revised edition. If you already own one
of the earlier printings I think you’ll be pleased to add this version
to your game collection as well, especially if you had some difficulty
with the early presentation. If you are reading Universalis for the first
time, you can thank the current fans of the game for making this version
much more accessible to new players
On
the inside the layout and formatting will be updated and I'm very excited
to announce a brand new cover by Jari Tuovinen. See below for a low res screen
version (text is a place holder only).
