Dark Albion: The Rose War now available in hardcover

Apparently this is not Dark Ages as I thought (I had heard comparisons to Warhammer), but set in the War of the Roses, but with more of a fantasy twist. The PDF isn't available yet, but the hardcover can be bought at Lulu for $29.24 or in a variant cover with Tom Servo on it.

  1. Thanks for sharing this!

    To clear up: WFRP is not 'dark ages' either, it's actually a heavy-fantasy (more fantasy than Albion) version of the European Renaissance (similar to Germany in the 16th century). If anything, it's actually further ahead than Dark Albion, which is 15th century.

  2. And the variant cover is from a classic painting, called "Choosing the Roses". The original hangs today in the British Parliament. It's an allusion to the scene in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part I.
