Yeah. It’s wild. I know they play the games they’re designing, but it almost seems like they’re in their own bubble with no contact from the wider community at all. One optimizer or power gamer on the design team could have pointed all this out. Same with the boss monster math / resting nova...

Love to. But there’s always far more interest for the shiny new thing than the dusty old thing, it seems.

That didn’t take long. I really should stop banging my head against that particular brick wall.

I absolutely love the setting. So far 2E is my favorite edition of WFRP. 4E is just way too crunchy for my tastes. Here's to hoping they've dialed that way back in the revision. If not, there's always The Old World RPG.

He's an "engineer."

I know it will end in disappointment. I don't know why I bother.

No, not using D&D 5E as the base. It's a revised WFRP 4E that's backwards compatible. Your books will still be usable with the new edition...wait...where have I heard that before? https://cubicle7games.com/en_EU/blog/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-fifth-edition-in-house-interview

Settings of Hope strike me as inherently unrealistic and break my suspension of disbelief. Settings of Despair are more realistic and are easier to suspend my disbelief. There's also more work to do in Settings of Despair. As Gradine and others have said, turning despair into hope is some of...

And I will do it again.

Are we still supposed to pretend it's about taste instead of money?

Speaking of malapropisms...

Yeah. You could easily switch casting times to costing X actions where X is the spell level. Fireball costs three actions, etc. It would help to drop things like bonus actions and switch to 2-3 actions per round.

Still true. 2001 is the single most overrated movie of all time. It’s the most boring film I’ve ever watched.

Malapropisms can be hilarious though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malapropism Such a great quote. Another, similar one from Doctor Who. “There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t act a little childish sometimes.”

Exactly. Mirth & Mayhem. You can have both whimsy and darkness. They're not mutually exclusive. I've always thought it more silly and childish to insist on the purest black grimdark without a hint of irony or glee than to have goofy elements like ducks and wolfkin and halflings.

Just have to add them all back in. Besides the awesome that is the system itself, a big draw is the races. Especially the ducks.

The much discussed scene starts around the 51:30 mark. If we‘re talking about escalation, Primus insults her teeth as the 2-3 thing he says to her and her response is a literal F you. It goes hot from there rather fast.

See also the JRPG inspired games like Fabula Ultima that did well over $1 million recently. Exactly. They‘ll sand off the rough edges and make it appeal to a modern audience, but they‘re also 100% trying for the nostalgia bait.
