[GenCon Video >> A Small But Vicious Seminar Now Posted!]

Jay,

Thank you very much for posting the seminar.

My question is this:  Will I have to buy the players vault to get updated versions of action cards that have been "fixed" since I bought the core set as soon as it was available?

Sorry if this has already been answered and I missed it.

[How would I know if I have a fortune die associated with my strength? How do I get one if I don't have one?]

You would have the fortune dice if you spent the advance on it, at which point I believe you check off the little white box next to the attribute.  Or write a number there if you can buy multiple, which I'm not sure you can.

Happy Gaming

[Are the extra dice available yet? My group is getting restless.]

I know that in my base set I got an extra bag of stance dice with a note about quality.

Perhaps them having to include those dice in some (or all) base sets slowed down them being able to sell the dice packs.  You can't sell what you don't have.

 

Just a thought

I just got the game from FFG and had the same catalog and same "been in this box way too long" smell from the tiles

They've been airing out on the table for a couple of days.

[Combat Training 101 >> Initiative, Rounds, and Player Turns in WFRP]

Long time reader, first time poster but I had a couple of thoughts I wanted to share.

This approach to initiative seems like it might lead to a lot of dice rolling, passing and sharing while everyone rolls initiative.  Of course you could always say that Agility -2 is your initiative.  Quick and no rolling.

Regarding the "sharing" of initiative spots.  As the GM you could always say that only party members in close range (or in contact range) could swap their turns.  In this instance the Wood Elf Hunter who is hanging back and firing into the enemies couldn't allow the dwarf to go at 4 instead of 2, but if the Hunter was standing right behind the dwarf he could.

I personally like the idea of players being able to talk and switch, seems like it would encourage playing as a party.  Of course I can do the same with the NPC's/monsters as well.  Smart NPC's can react to what the PC's are doing, and the fast reacting leader can direct his slow Trolls to go first also.

And off topic but while I am talking:  I've been enjoying RPG's since Basic D&D in the boxed set first came out.  Although I have never played Warhammer Fantasy I am very interested in the way FFG is developing this product.  It seems like a fresh take on things to me and I most certainly will be buying it and trying it out with my gaming group (mix of old and new).  I'm sorry Jay and his crew seem to be taking a beating on something that I think they have spent a lot of time and thought on.  Just though they might want to hear some encouraging words.  Back to lurking and waiting for 3rd edition to be available.
