Divine Right classic collector's edition

We're now delving into board-and-counter wargames as well as computer games, as Divine Right Games is in the process of planning a crowdfunding campaign for a Divine Right RPG as well as the release of Divine Right 4th Edition.

However, since this will be our first board-and-counter game, we've decided to test the production waters by first releasing a Classic Collector's Limited Edition of the original 1979 TSR 2nd edition. No more than 500 copies will be produced, and it will be a straight reproduction of the rules, map, and counters. The reason we have chosen the 2nd edition (November 1979) over the original (March 1979) is that the difference between the two editions is little more than the errata fixes that were first published in Dragon #34 and subsequently incorporated in the November 1979 release.

We'll have to do a new cover for the box, but we intend to keep the counters and map exactly the same, although the blank counter spaces will allow us to add some additional counters, such as variant King counters and extra army counters. The manual will have a glossy full-color paperback cover and feature the signature of designer Glen Rahman. Watch this space for further developments.
