And although i own every supplement for Warhammer Fantasy, i have never played the game.  But it looks like a ton of fun, as if they spliced D&D and Cthulhu.  I was actually reading over the combat rules and magic in the core book last night and really wanted to play.  The combat is frigging lethal (expect characters to die frequently and bloodily) and the magic actually FEELS like magic, something wild and unpredictable and tainted with evil.  Casting a spell can potentially kill your character, or get him possessed, or open a rift to hell. Worse case scenario of course, but it makes you think twice before rolling a handfull of dice for your most potent spell. The only thing about Warhammer that doesn't jump out and grab me is the setting, although i love the grim and grittiness of it.  Maybe it's the pseduo-European words and culture, but i feel a disconnect when i start reading about it.  I would almost consider plopping the campaign in another world.</blockquote>
