I can't give you XP so: O.M.F.G.
Don't worry, I did it for you.

You guys just wait until the RIFTS movie is made and it is full of awesome borgian sword-swingers and techno-wizards flinging around radioactive poop. It will be like The Matrix meets Brain Candy plus Every Bad Sci-Fi/Fantasy movie from the '80's. With a soundtrack by Asia. Starring Nicolas Cage = Number one at the box office for ten months!
For me, my favorite Star Wars was d6.
I think that would be the best bet - seems to be the future of bigger RPGs. The SW name would make it an easy gift, too, especially if they could get it into bigger stores like the red box was able to do. Can't you see Grandma seeing some starwars box, picking it up, seeing cards maybe some cardboard tokens or a "sample" full miniature and putting it in the box for her grandson? Sure, they're pricy, but I think you could do a lot with it.
I keep hearing this. You really think an RPG/board game sells better than RPG books? I really liked Warhammer 2e, but I am not about to buy a $100 Warhammer 3e set. I am one of those gamers that reads RPGs far more than actually playing.
Granted I am not the target market for this. Maybe Games Workshop and FFG are rolling around in cash piles and laughing all the way to the bank with their decision, but color me skeptical.
Except it isn't a 'semi-boardgame' and definitely not 'Descent-like'.I really dislike WFRP 3E because it tries to replace the 2E RPG game with a semi-boardgame. A Descent like game could easily exist beside a traditional RPG book product. Something with miniatures that attract they eye...
