[QUOTE="Will Doyle, post: 7716395, member: 6682161"] I love WFRP. One of the best descriptions of it I've heard is: "The bastard love child of D&D and Call of Cthulhu". It's classic high fantasy in a gritty medieval world threatened by the encroachment of chaos gods. Magic is powerful, but exposes the caster to chaos corruption and is quite rare outside cities. The medieval setting is more realistic than most; rich with poverty, disease and class politics. Published adventures often pushed roleplaying to the forefront, inviting players to expose cultists, solve murder-mysteries, or carry out heists. Perhaps as a consequence, combat was brutal and could result in lingering wounds (although it was also one of the first systems to feature Fate Points to modify events). Players also rolled for careers, starting as lowly boatmen, ratcatchers and scribes rather than wizards or paladins. I'd recommend it to anyone. Cubicle 7 have confirmed today on Facebook that this edition will be set in the Old World, not Age of Sigmar, and that the rules will be modelled on 1st and 2nd edition rather than a wholly new system. I'm really excited for it! [/QUOTE]
