What the GM is hearing is the Player refusing to engage in their campaign. In any case, one of them could always leave if they're not happy.

I disagree. The premise being "Game of Thrones" should mean they've already considered the possibility of "Lady Noble" and probably already decided on the system and maybe even worked out how to use System X to run the game. An elf character likely has not been accounted for and likely means...

Even if the Player initially misinterpreted the campaign's premise, they were corrected but still insisted that they wanted to play an elf.

Looks like the original was written for 3E. So I guess it's nice to get a conversion for 4E.

Game masters should not feel that they need to compromise the game they've spent some time organising. If the Player has a convincing argument as to why they should be able to, given the original post, "play an elf when human-only is the premise of the campaign" then the GM wouldn't have any...

He scrawled graffiti on an ancient mausoleum and was cursed by the long-forgotten dead god buried within. And the graffiti wasn't even very good.

WFRP has hit locations. So wear a helmet, even 1 AP from a leather skullcap is going to help prevent your noggin from getting caved in.

It depends. Complicated but familiar rules can be fun. Complicated and unfamiliar rules can be work. Poor presentation of simple rules can be work. Well presented rules, with clear examples and pieces of fiction can be fun. So I choose,,,, Fork!

if someone asked me what PbtA game I’d choose to play, then first on my list would be City of Mist because I like it’s free form “playbook” creation rules and urban fantasy setting. I think the second in my list would be Urban Shadows, again for urban fantasy and also world of darkness vibe.

I agree about the influence. A game that has Men, Dwarves, Elves (both Wood and High) and Hobbits... I mean Halflings as the primary species for characters is absolutely wearing Tolkien's influence on its sleeve.

Lord of the Rings is perceived as shiny and light because the story ends with Sauron overthrown and the beginning of a new age, despite the hardships the Fellowship suffered leading up to the beginning of the 4th Age. Warhammer Fantasy Role Play does not have such a happy ending, with the...

WFRP 4E character generation is no longer only random. You start by rolling, and if you accept the rolls you get extra XP. But you can always choose not to accept the rolls and just select your career/race/characteristics.

I love Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. I think it's the best fantasy roleplaying game. But I've always thought there was something better out there so only purchased the core book for 4E while looking for that "better" game. But recently I realized that I was a fool, and have committed myself to...

I too was puzzled at the move. My initial reaction to AOS was "Oh, its WH40K Space Marines ported over to a post-apocalyptic Old World" and dismissed it. My beloved WFRP was discarded and I didn't want anything to do with its replacement. But the roleplaying game has changed my mind. The...

I really like the changes made to character advancement that allow a character to remain in their current career but still advance. I like how 4th edition brought back the classes from 1E. I like how skills and characteristics both allow advancement. I like how social class is built into the...

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound have the Sylvaneth - "beings of nature, creatures of life magic whose flesh and sinew are crafted from the living boughs of the wyldwood".

Could have used “Wild Wizard”. Then it would also serve as a synonym of “mad” as in angry.

Cool cool cool. I can pre-order Righteous Blood, Ruthless Blades from Amazon now. Clickety click.

Now? At my age which is... ahhh, 21, yes, 21. I hate it. Too many new things to remember and likely the rules aren't presented in a coherent manner...... unless the game somehow makes me want to read it e.g. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound.

I'm going to be saying... Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition. $US110 pledge plus $US50 shipping.
