Review of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

[Jonny Nexus]

Funny, I'm one of the folks who feels the review is flawed, yet simply remaining civil has left me out of the 'elitist' umbrella of accusations.

I would posit that just trying to be nice about it will exempt you, at least largely, from such complaints.

I'm pretty sure I've been both nice and civil throughout the discussion. Certainly, if anyone has an example of something I said that they felt was out of order, I'd very much like them to bring it to my attention.

The accusations of elitism, and assumptions about motivation, were not ones that have been addressed to me personally. They were instead *blanket* accusations that appeared to be addressed at *everyone* who was criticising the review - i.e. both myself and yourself.

If you don't feel that they were addressed to you then that's fine, but please don't assume that by mentioning those accusations I was somehow confessing to rude and uncivil behaviour.

As I said, if anyone thinks I've have been either rude or uncivil then I'd be grateful if they would bring the offending text to my attention. (It could be that I said something that I didn't felt was wrong, but that someone else might think so).

We (the people who feel that the review was flawed) are repeatedly being told that we're "elitists" who are lying when we say we're simply arguing in favour of the truth and have no animosity towards the D20 system.

wait a second here! are you telling me that THAT was not our point?!?!?

I agree, I had the same feeling. I don't have any hate for d20; it's the only game I get to play at the moment. The only criticism I have is that I feel the workload for the GM is a bit high (but this doesn't belong into this thread). I'm not a WFRP2 'fanboy', either. I have the book and find the game quite interesting. I might give it some actual play if I can interest my players. But that's not a high priority. The discussion from my side was more to the point of giving credit where credit is due. I don't think that most critics of the review deserve the accusations made by some of the other posters.

I think I have to look at that Old World Bestiary, too, if only to be able to build my own opinion about that title. It wasn't high on my priority list, because many people told me that you don't really need the bestiary for WFRP, because the monsters play only a secondary role in that game.

Shush!

The first rule of the Popular Front for the Liberation of non-D20 Roleplaying is that we don't talk about the Popular Front for the Liberation of non-D20 Roleplaying!

Are you sure you don't mix that up with the People's non-d20 Roleplaying Liberation Front?

Well, I was disappointed with the limited selection of monsters in the main book. At the very least, if you have a Trollslayer career in the book, you should have the stats for a troll in the book so that said character can attempt to slay it and die heroically in the process...

But that was the only thing I was really disappointed with.

Splitters! We don't talk about them.

Cool.

Given the many warnings in this thread, you just earned yourself a week's ban.

Wow. You know, I never thought of banning as anything other than a permanent thing.

For the record, I hereby volunteer myself for similar, short-term involuntary cool down periods, should the need arise.

I mean honestly, if it's during the work day, a one-day ban is as good as a kick in the nuts.
