Review of Lion & Dragon rpg by RPGPundit Print on demand, in soft and hardcover, through Drivethrurpg.com Please excuse random background bumps and bangs - new kitten in the house. 'Nuff said...
Great review, as always! Side note: I loved those sidebars in the 2nd Edition Players handbook too! Lion & Dragon looks great though, I dig the gritty more historically accurate/authentic style. When you play it you're going to definitely have to come back and give a recap. I'd love to hear how it plays! How the mechanics actually work in gameplay, especially as it relates to the magic system and magic users, summoning, alchemy and astronomy sounds awesome and dark, the way you described it reminds me a bit of LotFP. BTW... You can never have too much artwork. Who complains about too much art? Crazy!
I love the game, it's rapidly become my favourite (just beating basic fantasy) but the paperback I got from Amazon had a load of errors in the creature section, missing stats and such. Does the hardback have that problem and if not where can I get it because Amazons print on demand has let me down with crappy covers that fall apart way too many times now on way too many otherwuse good books.
I don't remember my copy having any errors, but let me check and get back to you. I also enjoyed some of the supplementary pdfs he put out for this as well, especially the one on Astrology and medieval magic.
I have Lion and Dragon, Dark Albion, Old School Companion, and Cults of Chaos by him. Arrows of Indra looks very interesting as well. His books are top quality, they really convey an authentic medieval setting.

Weird how so many players and GMs don't like art saturation...I guess I'm with you in the minority, I LOVE this kind of book. Great game too
I wonder if I can get our local leather worker to put a leather cover on a copy of this?
Sounds cool. Great review!
Do you all like this better than the newest edition of Chivalry & Sorcery?
Lion & Dragon is freakin' awesome! I might write some fan fiction for it.
Hi, thanks for your videos, do you have the link to the pdf? I can't find it for some reason...

@@questwise4077 thanks bro! For some reason the site search wasn't returning that result to me...
Mr Quest Wise I'm late for the train. But I really love your review. Calm and a lot of substance.
Thanks for watching!
Magic is based on real midieval magical theory, Cool!

Mine was the attack bonus for satyr and frogmen soldiers.
