[QUOTE="Metus, post: 3485435, member: 185"] I guess I'm obligated to post, simply to be the lone voice of criticism. I bought Warhammer due to the excellent reviews and comments it had received; it was my first experience with Warhammer. After buying the book along with a few supplements and the official adventure, I sold it all at half price as soon as I could. I love RPGs, and I love finding new ones, and out of all the RPGs I've ever checked out in my entire life, this was one of the two systems that I just absolutely could not stand whatsoever. I feel nauseous just thinking about it. In the reviews, people would put a cinematic spin on playing a ratcatcher and fisherman or whatever. After getting the books and reading the rules, I found it to be about as appealing as actually playing a ratcatcher or fisherman. The class system felt very haphazard and was a bit too wacky for my tastes. I had a hard time thinking about why classes like a knight, a peasant, a fisherman, an assassin, etc, etc, would all group together in a party. It'd be possible, but it would break the verisimilitude for me. It felt - to me - like the extremes of D&D that I don't like, where you have a mind flayer paladin and a warforged samurai and whatever whatever. I also hated the stat system, the rolling system, the way magic was handled.... pretty much everything about it. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And again, I stress that this is simply my opinion, but DO know that WFRP isn't just unequivocally awesome. [/QUOTE]
