| The comparisons I would make with WFRP would be Dying Earth, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Swordbearer.
A moonlighting ratcatcher and a junior temple initiate trying to plant a bomb in a cult hideout is about par for the course. Even if you manage to become like a knight or something, you'll probably end up challenging another knight to a rigged bout so you can sell his armor and buy a boat. Most wizards are basically full of it, since they're fond of learning spells they can't cast safely, and probably spend a lot of time avoiding casting spells unless they absolutely have to. Or they get sucked into the abyss by a chaos demon, and that's the end of that.
It kind of reminds me of the show Supernatural... you know, the two brothers going around putting down ghosts and slaying demons. But since they don't have financial or legal backing for their mighty quest, they subsist on credit card fraud, pool sharking, and theft, and regualrly impersonate everyone from the CDC to Homeland Security to state police. |
