    I think WHFRP is a great game - I have followed it through all editions and will continue to do so -

    I guess only time will tell how it competes against other fantasy systems although I do have a concern in regards to its accessability to new comers to the game - it is a daunting prospect to undertake the collection of all the different products available to buy - and some may find the D & D Red Box , Dragon Age or soon to be released Pathfinder Intro Box Set or New LOTR RPG a more realistic purchase both for access and affordability,

    Long live WHRFP.

    Hello All

    I was wondering if anyone had any sales info (or know where I could find it) on this edition of WHFRP and its supplements ? I am a massive fan and throughly enjoy the game - and so I am interested to know how well it is doing up against games such as Pathfinder and D&D ?

    IT STARTED LIKE THIS.......

    I over the years have played so many different games that my mind is at bursting point with rules, settings and great memories but out of them all ......

     

    I LOVE THE WARHAMMER SETTING ( and the WH40K Setting - but that is for a different forum on a different day !!!). My love of it starts eighteen years ago when I first started table top and roleplaying and it continues to this day.

    I have the original Games Workshop Edition (and all its supplements), the Hogshead Reprint and all the books relating to the Black Industries Edition. I have also played the card games, computer games, tabletop games BLAH BLAH BLAH !!!! So I suppose what I am saying is that I know a little about it all.

    The setting is an intelligent and engrossing work of developing non-fiction which has something for everyone and is something that everyone can contribute to and take part in by way of one format or another. It is an accessable setting .... and that is what I thing FFG are trying to do with this new edition.

    Games Workshop sells models to gamers like crack to an addict !!!! and if they can pull more people into that market then all the better for them ... and one way to do it is through the RPG back door. If they can pull gamers into there business by doing it through WFRP then they will.

    The new edition looks shiney, clean and well presented. It appears adorned with new art, glossey cards and custom dice - It screams out amongst the other products on the shelfs LOOK AT ME !!!! and NO I AM NOT DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS !!!

    I am all for pulling more people into gaming ( and diverting them for D&D) but I fear that my favourite RPG is going to suffer at the hands of FFG in the name of doing so.

    I have images of a dumbed down setting ( far from grim and perilous but bright and heroic) , a product line which requires purchase after purchase to keep up with (Box after Box of shiney cards and dice) a rules system which takes away all the stuff we love - No more percentage rolls, No more Critical Hits and finally a system which reduces the openness of the setting - Sorry you cannot be a Halfing Bounty Hounter I have not got the required cards and dice -

    I of course will buy the new edition and hope to be proved wrong but I have a feeling I wont be.

    FOLLOWED BY THIS.......


    I must admit that I have calmed down some after an initial rant (See-MY TWO PENCE WORTH OF COMMENT !!!) - I am starting to like what I see from the previews

     

    The dice system looks fun and different

    The party sheets give the group focus

    The careers and advancement system looks flexiable enough

    The product quality looks great

    I am still resistant because of the overall change to an established and successful system - but I love the Warhammer Setting and I am willing to give this a try - I might enough go as far to say I am looking forward to it.

    DW

    THEN THIS..........

    I am extremely excited about the forthcoming edition of WFRP - The system and presentation ( the art looks great !!) have me chomping at the bit and I cannot wait to get my grubby snotling claws on it.

    AND NOW FINALLY -

    I have recieved my boxed set and must say that I am blown away.

    The presentation of the rules and set contents are amazing - The system is fun and flexiable  and the whole product captures the essence of the warhammer world brillantly - I got my set for £65 from leisure games in the UK and believe it to be worth every penny. I believe that FFG have done themseleves, WFRP and roleplaying as a whole proud with this one.

    If I was to have one criticism it would be that I can foresee lots of expansions forthcoming to fill the gaps seductivly found in the core set e.g the rest of the wizard schools, the rest of the deity priest careers, the full bestiary Etc Etc - But FFG are a business and need to make there money so I understand it -

    In a nut shell - WELL DONE FFG - Any way enough said I have Skaven to kill !!!!!!!

    In my defence - I am a massive fan and will still get the book when it is released -  The point I am trying to make is that FFG need to be better with realistic release dates - they make high quality products and have a great website to support there business - but I feel that they just let people down with release schedules and dates.

    I have now cancelled my pre-order for Rogue Trader and picked up a SHADOWRUN 20th Anniversity Edition from CATALYST GAMES - It is great - Check it out.

    FFG really need to get a grip of customer service and realistic release dates.

    Having been a fan of Games Workshop IP for the past twenty years I think it is great that the WH40K universe is coming alive in FFG products. I believe that Dark Heresy was a great introduction to the universe concentrating on a single sector but Rogue Trader will hopefully blow everyone away allowing space exploration and hopefully space combat.

    If the third RPG based on the Marines is also done then the three product lines should open up and support every element of the WH40K universe which can only be a good thing.

    Keep up the good work.
