Review of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

[Akrasia]

That change definitely improves the review!

(The review for the OWB, though, is still completely misguided IMO, as I think it's one of the best monster books ever produced.)

 

[The Shaman]

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game shares many similar design goals to D&D 3rd Edition, and uses a "basket" of mechanics and mechanical design choices that are clearly influenced by the design of D&D 3rd Edition.

What "basket" of 3e D&D mechanics are included in WHFRP 2e? The mechanics described in the review suggest that 2e is "clearly influenced" by 1e, not D&D.

Gents, Russ and I have already asked twice to be considerate. Next person to fire off gets more than a warning, and the thread gets closed.

I'm hoping this wasn't prompted by my question, above.

I owned but never played 1e WHFRP - too grim for my tastes. I'm asking because I genuinely can't tell, on reading the review, what 3e D&D mechs appear in 2e - from what I recall, everything that RD describes is similar to 1e.

This question is directed to anyone who's read 2e WHFRP, by the way - I wasn't expecting a reply solely from ryand.

Also, please note that I have deleted the latest offending post and one that quoted it. The rules are the same as usual, gang - be polite, or don't post. If you have a chip on your shoulder, this isn't necessarily the place to display it to the world.

Mods here are harsher than on RPG.net.

That is something of an understatement.

I guess Tim's (Rasyr) statement was considered a personal attack ?!?!?!?!

Hmmmm....

A partial summary of my opinion on this matter is the first portion of message #16.
