[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 2197910, member: 20239"] Just got mine and I'm actually quite disappointed. Chris Pramas proves it's possible to write a d20 game without requiring the use of a d20. It would be easier to convert most 3e adventures to this game than it would be to convert them to another edition of D&D. It's got some good ideas, some good rules tweaks and a very unique magic system, but those advantages are offset by the bland, textbook-style writing I've come to expect from modern RPG books (was desperately hoping WHFRP would be different), a lot of uninspired fluff/flavor text which differs drastically from the gritty, dark atmosphere of the Old World established in the original WHFRP and a layout that stretches what is probably 200 pages worth of actual content to 250 pages of actual book (a far cry from the thoroughly-complete, densely-packed game found in the 350 pages of the original WHFRP). I'm glad others seem to like it, but at this point I'm seriously considering returning it and getting my money back, as I can say definitively that I'm never going to run it as-is or even close to as-is.
