Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 3rd Edition

I talked to Fulminata briefly today and I believe I will take a leap of faith and get the newest edition of WHFRP based on our conversation.

I'll have to see for myself if a huge mistake has been made with the new system or if it is totally awesome as most people who have tried it say it is.

I was very much a doubter when the first details about 3rd edition WHFRP came out. I was a big fan of both 1st and 2nd edition, and felt there was no need yet for a 3rd edition. I was especially concerned about the way they were integrating what sounded like board game components into the game with special dice and cards.

Since then, my old game master for a relatively long running 2nd edition campaign has been able to give the system a try and he came away impressed. Another gamer friend, who previously has stuck almost exclusively to D&D when it comes to RPGs, has also gotten a look at the game and decided he wants to try running it. These are people whose judgment I generally trust when it comes to games, and they aren't the only ones who have been impressed with what they've seen so far. As as result, I've decided I have to give the game a chance.

I'm hoping that after I get my copy I can give a demo some time at Castle House, but we'll just have to see when it arrives and what my schedule is like before setting a date.

I will have two copies of WHFRP 3rd Edition in on Wednesday. I will be buying one; the other is available.

I will check it out. I was a real big fan of 2nd edition's career setup. If a group was interested in getting together I could see if I could make it up there.
