The Second Edition of The Sword of Cepheus refines and redefines the game, upgrading it for greater usability and playability by a wide variety of players with varying playstyles. Among the changes, you may find:
- All-new A5 layout for maximum portability and readability.
- The well-loved art of the first edition supplemented with new high-quality artwork.
- Mechanics are now 100% compatible with the bestselling Cepheus Deluxe: Enhanced Edition sci-fi rules. Add sorcerers and mythical monsters to your Cepheus Deluxe interstellar campaign! Add lasers and grav vehicles to your The Sword of Cepheus game!
- Both random and non-random character generation mechanics - your group can now choose whether it likes to trust its fate to the dice, or design the characters your players want.
- Brand-new sorcery rules. No more "shaded magic" and corruption; more frequent mishaps and mutations replace the old Corruption mechanic. No more weak spells! All sorcery is powerful and dangerous - as it should be in a sword & sorcery tale!
- No more digit-string "UPPs"; more readable NPC and monster stats.
- Much less "standard fantasy" elements among spells, monsters, and magical artifacts. More original and genre-appropriate content.
- Depending on stretch goals being met, non-human species and careers, expanded equipment, and superscience rules!

DeleteYet another S&S game that wants to make sorcerers into mutants. Something that didn't happen in Howard's work and makes sorcerer characters unplayable, especially the seductive sorceress archetype a la Tascela from Red Nails. I'm really unsure why game makers do this, Warhammer has a lot to answer for I guess.
