Thanee Hobgoblin Soldier (Lvl 3)
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (New Game)

Link to Product Site (Fantasy Flight Games)

Looks a bit like WHFB meets D&D4E to me (a mix between RPG and boardgame, but not quite as much boardgame as something like Descent; it's also listed in the roleplaying section, not the boardgame section).

Comes with a lot of props right out of the box (cards and tokens and special dice and such).

Are the character choices really limited to the career sheets they offer, though (it looks like)? As in, you do not actually create your own character, but just pick one to play? That seems a bit weird for a roleplaying game.

Does anyone know a bit more about this?

Bye
Thanee

Wondering what the Dungeon Tiles are like? Take a look here (up to DU5 Sinister Woods).

We had some discussions on the 3E of Warhammer before.

Maybe this will help (courtesy of EN World Search function, available to all the cool Community Supporters*):
Warhammer 3E - Adventures?

WFRP - THIRD Edition Announced from FFG

WFRP 3E full Gen Con seminar movie (dice mechanic and character sheet)

Look out for posts or thready by Emirikol. He seems to be the resident Warhammer News gatherer.

I am not sure there is really much more specific information on the details of the characters or how to customize them.


*) Just in case you haven't noticed Morrus announcements regarding the need for more Community Supporters to keep this site running.

Is that even possible? Even with pretty much everything turned off here (ads, sidebar, notes, etc), it's really hard to miss.

Well, maybe with full ad-blockers and a great gift for selective perception.
