[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 3479785, member: 20239"] I've switched almost all of my gaming activity to WFRP 2e and I really like it. The system is innovative but still close enough to d20 that someone coming from D&D shouldn't have any problem picking up the rules fairly quickly. Combat is full of options without being overly complex. The setting is superb and provides lots of obvious avenues for adventures. I would highly recommend the [u]game[/u]. Chris Pramas and Green Ronin worked with Black Industries to create the core game. As far as I can tell, that was where Green Ronin's involvement ended. Black Industries is a separate entity that licenses the right to produce material for WFRP from Games Workshop. I WISH Chris and Green Ronin were more involved with the ongoing development of the WFRP line. The core book is excellent (more typos than I would like, but still, on the whole, excellent). Subsequent releases have been disappointing, both in the quality of their editing and the quality of their content. IMO, most of the supplements are about 20% "GREAT STUFF!", 30% "Eh, this is OK", and 50% "Ugh! My 10 year old nephew writes stuff that's better than this (and with fewer spelling errors)". The notable exception so far has been the Old World Bestiary, which I highly recommend. I love the game and still buy Black Industries supplements that I think will interest me or give me useful tools for my game, but I refuse to pay the full cover price for anything they print because IMO it's simply not worth it. I buy stuff used or at a heavy discount if I buy at all. If typos and contradictory fluff within the same chapter of a book don't bother you, then this won't be an issue. I would definitely encourage you to check out the core book though. It's got everything you need to run a WFRP game in one book (with Old World Bestiary, you've easily got enough to run many, many campaigns) so the initial investment to try it out is quite low.
