My best guess is that they see a lot of gamers on the other side of the aisle. If you can keep the ones you have AND get some of those others (some of whom may have played DCCs in the past) it is a good move. It seems they are reacting to the schism and trying to make the most of it. Makes...

The adventures would definitely need to be "native 4e." The map scale, and movement requirements are greater, in my opinion, than previous editions. The 10 ft by 10 ft room died was already on its last leg, but it died with 4e.

Another vote for DCC World, aka Aereth.

Finally had the chance to run my first session last night. Dice pool was a breeze and very enjoyable. Locating rules continues to be a major hassle, though the living index helps (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/wfrp/support/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-living-index.pdf). I'm most...

In my opinion, the racial level limitations indicate a desire for game balance. As do differing HP by class and varying requirements for XP/level. Edit: If memory serves, there were class-specific magic items. While this might be a bit of a gray area, it also seem like an intent for a balanced...

Love it. Bookmarked.

Speaking of inane, I'm working on house rules for a game I haven't even played yet. Do you guys think it would be overly wonky to rule that PC crits on henchmen = immediate death? I like some of the dynamics that came with 4e minions, and I want PC crits to have a little more oomph. And...

The best thing about WHFR3e? It's keeping me from posting to all the inane edition war/sand box war/whatever war threads. I've actually won back hours that would have otherwise been spent in frustration, and this is now the one thread I read on Enworld. The worst thing about WHFR3e? The...

Pictures! We need pictures!

[/LIST] Exerting yourself risks fatigue, being conservative risks delay. Now this is starting to make sense. There is a lot of cool nuance, but it takes a little digging to get there. Thanks again for the help.

This is really helpful. Thanks guys. I hope to get a quick battle in before the parties tonight. Ah ... geekdom. It's all about priorities. :)

Do you have a sense of the scalability yet of the challenge dice? For instance, in a where it was straight math, I'd know what a -5 meant (give or take) and be able to judge its impact on the fly. I don't have that sense yet with the numberless dice. How significant is 1 challenge die compared to 3?

That last link was key. Thank you. It helped to see combat in action.

Awesome. Thank you for the links. And as for "workload," I'm hoping a lot of it is in my head. I feel like I could run any edition of D&D with my eyes closed. Hopefully just being new to 3e Warhammer is just that ... being new. But golly, it underlined for me how 4E spoils the DM.

Got my box last night. Super stoked to to open it up then ... darn. I read the "basic" rulebook and am still not really clear on how to run a basic combat. I'm sure it will just take the usual "test combat" to learn, but my enthusiasm is diminished. I want to have some friends over and crack...

What about Schrödinger's Setting? Where the DM doesn't really know what in that hex/cave/forest until the PCs decide to look? Does that qualify as "sandbox" ? You don't create in infinite world, just a virtual, penciled in world, filling in each next step, as the PCs decide what to do where to...

And it isn't overtly set in any of Wizards' worlds.

I wasn't around at the time, but I bet when D&D first picked up speed, a lot of wargamers turned up their noses at the Tolkien fantasy upstarts and their dumbed down, unrealistic rules.
