Some new info? Seems Amazon has a title for Book 2 - Heart of Fire. Of course, since we haven't heard anything from Da Boss, I'm going to suggest speculation right now, or could be changed. Although, that is a neat title.

I found it from here: http://virtualfantasies.blogspot.com/2011/07/somethings-up-in-land-of-destiny-quest.html

@ metal dog podcast
I don't think I will try the drinking game or i'll need a stomach pump! ha ha

I like the idea the second book will be much quicker to get paths and careers. That is a good move! I can't wait!
Raids will also be v cool!

----They’re sort of the James Bond of the fantasy world, with all their insane weapons and gadgets, finely honed for the single purpose of eradicating evil in ever more imaginative ways---

Exactly. It makes you wonder how they managed to cock up the Van Helsing film as badly as they did.

I for one am looking forward to the return of a certain witchfinder! No mention of Spink? Let's hope he has finally found the blueprints for a holy water cannon hehe.

do you get 'dead gods' in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Technically no, Myrrth, I don't think so. I was paraphrasing a bit for effect - it was some ridiculously rare item that I don't think any player character should have been casually carrying round (Sigmar's Hammer or some other lore item). I don't think the group played the game that seriously. ;)

I'm liking the sound of book 2. But what I really want to hear about is the careers!!!

By the way, do you get 'dead gods' in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?!

Hey, just followed a link to the interview over on the UK Roleplayers site. Ward gives some exciting info away about the upcoming sequel. I thought I'd post some of the details. I'm so excited!! Factions and possible return of Eldias Falks. And zombies!

Re: size
You’ll probably need a wheelbarrow to carry it in – I’m fully expecting it to be bigger than Legion of Shadow. The reason for this is that there will be more potential paths and more replay ability. For example, Act 1 will actually have two different factions – and your choices will lead you to side with one faction for the climax of that act, determining the careers and items you will have access to. So that alone is a lot of writing right there. To be honest, there is so much cool stuff in DQ2 I don’t know where to start. As I have mentioned before, sales will determine the future of this series. Looking on the gloomy side for a moment (hey, I’m allowed to be emo, ok!) book 2 could be my swan song, so I want to definitely go out with a bang

Re: Eldias
For those who enjoyed ‘The count’s ball’ quest in The Legion of Shadow, well DQ2 has a sort of sequel to that quest. It should throw up a few surprises… and a lot of zombies. It was great fun to write, so I hope it proves the same to play

I have two favourite characters. The first relates to my previous answer: Eldias Falks, the witchfinder. I just find witchfinders/witch hunters cool full stop – the whole idea that you have these guys who risk their life on a daily basis to combat the very worst that the night can throw at them: demons, vampires, zombies… They’re sort of the James Bond of the fantasy world, with all their insane weapons and gadgets, finely honed for the single purpose of eradicating evil in ever more imaginative ways. They’re great!
