[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 7527170, member: 42040"] My history with WHFRPG is largely with 1st and 2nd edition. One of my friend's dads was a Baptist minister and wouldn't let him play D&D because of its poor position in the religious community at the time. (Yet, Warhammer was perfectly fine? Haha.) We had a bit of fun with it, but it never became an RPG of choice for me. I went all-in with FFG's 3rd edition. I read through it, made a few characters, played a few sample combats, and promptly traded it in. My problem wasn't necessarily all the chits, tokens, and "fiddly bits" - even though it was a lot to keep up with. And it also wasn't the weird dice - even though I'm still not a fan of non-numeric systems unless they're board games (they're hard for me to wrap around to create challenging encounters as GM). My main beef with 3rd was the lack of balance. I rolled up a crappy character at random - I think a ratcatcher. He got insta-killed by a goblin. Then I got a dwarven slayer, who was able to solo a dragon. Seeing this discrepancy told me my group wouldn't like it (remember this was during the era of 4e D&D, and character balance was an important goal.) I bought Shadow of the Demon Lord (but haven't played it) because I heard it was similar to WHFRPG. My knee jerk reaction is that I'm not going to like this edition, but I'm trying to read reviews and get familiar with it. [/QUOTE]
