Warhammer Fantasy Role play is much better. You start off a random something or other and eventually you will die in ditch somewhere and your corpse will be eaten by rats, or ratling or whatever,Now consider Sam Gamgee, in the fight at Balin's tomb Sam shows a couple of orcs what for, I don't have the books handy now so I am going from memory but he is specifically mentioned as wounding an Orc Captain that Boromir takes down. He does well enough to be commended by Boromir. Now I reckon that is his eight enounter that would have yielded xp if I was DM'ing  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The way I see the effects and manovers that are becoming part of the mechanics of the game is now instead of the to and fro of dice rolling we have named actions to represent the thrusts, feints and counters of a real fight. Stuff we would have imagined in the movie version in our heads.By the way after 30 years of that kind of game, is not time for a change?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
