[QUOTE="Beretta, post: 1521048, member: 12260"] I've seen this a couple of times now. I would imagine that those people making these comments would have been GMs of WHFP, not players. As a player I hated it. Your chances of fulfilling your initial character concept were sketchy at best (say, as a dwarf Troll Slayer andvancing to Daemon Slayer). As a player I think balance is important. It's no fun playing the fifth wheel because you were unlucky enough to roll crap. If random character creation is the main concept, I would be hoping to see an alternative that mirrors D20 point-buy. Lastly, I liked WHFP for the setting and the tie-in to the miniatures game. As a rules-set I was far from impressed. That said, I have seen Green Ronin's work and have been impressed time and time again. I just hope they rework the many elements in the old game mechanics that were just plain junk, and bring the rules-set into this millenium. It was an opportunity that Hogshead missed completely, and I wasn't sorry to see them give up the license because of it. Good luck GR! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. I really am hoping to see a 2nd edition of this game and not a V1.5, so to speak... [/QUOTE]
