[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9429730, member: 5142"] I believe that there is a fanmade classless version of FAGE floating somewhere on Green Ronin's Discord but I haven't given it a shot yet. There are pluses and minuses to both. I think that some of those additions in the latter were the result of negatives with the former. As I said, people seem to love it or hate it. I've rarely found people in between the poles. We don't need to say more about the Cypher System then. ----------------------- I would again take a look at Zweihänder by Daniel Fox, who is admittedly a divisive figure for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, I have found that people tend to find his Zweihänder a little easier for people dipping their toes into Warhammer Fantasy. I believe that his [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zweihander/zweihander-reforged-edition']Zweihänder Reforged[/URL] version is hoping to make it a bit more unique from WFRP. It also names Berserk, Castlevania, Bloodborne, Game of Thrones, and The Black Company as inspiration, and you are playing a survivor who had a brush with death. I do think that the crunch level is probably around the same as 5e D&D. I think that WFRP and BRP tend to have front-heavy crunch, but the roll under mechanic tends to speed things up in actual play. I have not actually played Zweihänder. That has more to do with finding games that my partner would also enjoy playing. Here is Professor Dungeoncraft talking about both the Zweihänder Starter Set and Warlock! [MEDIA=youtube]xom25wQAUfA[/MEDIA] Finally, I believe that there is a fan made project on the Dragonbane Discord for a Warhammer Fantasy conversion. I haven't really looked into it, but it's there.
