[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9206353, member: 6879661"] I think you’ve missed the mark to be honest, possibly by not understanding the term Warhammer. Your poll seems to be about two completely different settings (Warhammer and 40k) and four completely different systems, made by four different companies. Wrath and Glory is to Dark Heresy as L5R Alderac (Roll and Keep) is to WotC L5R D20. Whereas including Dark Heresy with WFRP is like including Starfinder 2e with D&D 2e as if they’re similar and asking people to rate them as a whole. It’s led to a poll and subsequent thread with 20 different people talking about 20 different things. You’ve made it even more confusing with poll questions about 40k games but adding (Warhammer) in the title as if it covers the four very different editions of WFRP and it’s spin offs as well. How would a poll go down if you asked people to rate the D&D system including all the editions, and pathfinder 1&2, Dying Earth d6, Starfinder and D20 modern. Then you gave the summary that they were a collective C+. Would people be criticising the D&D system for not having non-weapon proficiencies in basic when they’re in all the later variants. Very bizarre. In my humble opinion it needs correcting one way or another. Make it clear it’s about the settings which do share some themes even though extremely different. Or make it a poll about systems - in which case pick one. Because WFRP has four different editions alone (one company even used cards and bespoke dice) Dark Heresy is a different system with two editions, while Wrath and Glory uses D6 and Imperial Maledictum is a different system again. Why not toss in Talisman as well for being made by Games Workshop and the Fighting Fantasy page turner books because Steve Jackson founded them? I get that you might not be into it, but it’s probably best not to try and put a grade on things then - particularly a poor grade if you’re not familiar with something, based on a poll that doesn’t make sense.
