Sell the Book (Engineer) and buy a Blunderbuss ;)

Do you mean if characters bought a Skill multiple times in 2E?

I have been thinking that perhaps 4E should have changed from roll under the Characteristic to roll >= 100% i.e. Characteristic/Skill + roll must be greater than or equal to 100% for success. Then who wins becomes who rolled highest, SL is just the difference in the tens of each roll. But this...

Its merely a different way of capping Characteristics (and Skills). 2E controls it by the Career Advance Scheme, 4E controls it by making Characteristic and Skill Advances cost more in blocks of 5, and also limits Characteristic/Skill Advances to those specified by Career Level - but otherwise...

I was wondering why there was mention of the Discworld Roleplaying Game - it's been out for quite a while and I have a hard copy myself. But then I saw mention of print and pdf version available from Drivethrurpg mentioned at the end, almost as an afterthought. Now that's new.

I agree about proficiency. If you take D&D as an example (and perhaps this applies more to the older editions but the baggage still remains haunting the newer editions) a Fighter can wear any armour whereas a Magic-User cannot. The rules probably hand wave a lot of the explanation but a Fighter...

I meant in general as opposed to specifically targeting magic or magic-use. So a spell-caster wearing plate armor gets to walk slower than those with higher strength, and if you make use of fatigue points as mentioned above in spell casting, this resource also gets consumed by walking around...

Armor is heavy and requires higher strength to offset its penalties. Magic-users are not known for their prodigious might. So either fatigue and/or movement penalties. Or an armour-use skill/feat/talent to help offset penalties armor inflicts while worn, i.e. without training you cannot take...

Often Starter Sets are as you say. But others have a useful purpose once the core rulebook is purchased.

I have gotten the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4E Starter Set. Not just useful for people being introduced to the game.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound. Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of. Spire: The City Must Fall. Heart: The City Beneath.

Huh? What do you think pocketsssss are for? Gollum should have answered Bilbo's riddle with "nassssty dices" and he would have been right, because Bilbo was carrying his DND dice in his other pocket.

Red box D&D.

... "with console adaptations for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One following next spring, on March 1, 2022" is what the link says.

I'm likely wrong with the timing. Now that you mention it the attempt could have been after FFG lost the license.

I think Zweihander is based of WFRP 1E and/or 2E' system but a completely different setting. I think the developer had intentions to get the WFRP license to publish but was not successful so published the system with a "numbers scraped off plus new terminology" setting. If you're looking for...

Are you looking for a rules system that supports such games, or scenario ideas? Blades in the Dark is a game where the PCs attempt a single operation with a particular goal. That goal might be murder for hire, but also can include thievery, extortion, dark rituals, and smuggling runs. The...

My impression of Pugmire was that it's D&D with anthropomorphic animals as character ancestries, which made me want to ask about Squeaks in the Deep: "Who are the Mindflayers? The Rats or Mice?" :)

Looks like wikipedia has a definition of Urban Fantasy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_fantasy I think it matches what I thought of as being urban fantasy.

There is also City of Mist in the urban fantasy genre.
