You know, there's a lot going for what you state here, not just with these two cousin-rpg's but with any system. In my opinion the biggest thing people struggling with WFRP exhibit is a lack of creativity and ingenuity. The whole point of a modular system is that you can mold it to your table. Want a "portable" game? Run lite with books and dice only. Overwhelmed by "bits" or find things that don't flow well? Terraform the system as JH has. I have yet to read a single, negative point on this board that can't be solved with an hour of brain power and a glass of scotch. Some folks don't have the hour or the scotch, and that's totally cool. Not all games can be all things to all people. But frankly as a whole we won't benefit greatly if FFG follows the footsteps of Wizards and release multiple versions of the same game every 5 years that divide the community into little Dunning Kruger pockets. I hope the few folks intrigued with the idea of a WH4e port of Edge see what they're asking for there.
WFRP 3e can be an elegant, fantastic game that offers years of play for the right table. EotE can be a stellar, streamlined and casual narrative system that is also a complete and total blast to play. Two different games for two different demographics. They don't have to, or necessarily need to mix. But in a few cases, like my own, it's a real treat to GM both
For those of you who use your player's guide, here is a summary list of later careers and actions (it is only the list). This is for all the stuff later than the player's guide. Use it with my other summary of later talents and you can more easily plan the advancement of your character.
