[QUOTE="thedungeondelver, post: 4669791, member: 34865"] [FONT=century gothic] I actually got to play (not GM) [B]WHFRP[/B] last night. We played 2nd edition, and after playing 1st I can say that the differences feel minimal. I'd prefer variable dice rather than d10 all the time but that's just because I'm a sucker for variable granularity :) We played the scenario out of the back of the book, and for those of you unfamiliar with it, [spoiler]in brief the characters have to escort a group of refugees out of harm's way, with the chief problem being that one of the (very friendly, very useful, very helpful) NPCs is a revenge-minded old witch who will distract the party close to the end of the scenario.[/spoiler] I don't like to brag (much) but we managed to get the refugees to the city with no party casualties and a minimum of casualties among the NPCs. My character, Manfred Kreuzwirth (yes, phpbb admins, there's a Chinese-based age-of-conan goldfarm spambot that has that as a login - but it's too cool a name to not use!), talked the [spoiler]witch[/spoiler] down without incident. We all gained one insanity point when we found a group of civvies that had been wiped out by Goblins, but that's about the worst we fared. Our party consisted of myself (watchman), my wife ("Jane Carey", an outlaw human), and my buddy Jason's human noble, Johan (his last name escapes me). My wife decided that, if she was able to continue to play (we've got kids and babysitting issues do arise), she wanted to go from outlaw to crime boss to courtier to noble, basically becoming a high-priced madam, insinuating herself into high society through various *ahem* contacts, and then buying/bribing/extorting her way in to the nobility. When she said all that and thought about it for a minute, she said "Holy crap, this isn't an RPG character it's a fantasy novel!" I think [B]WHFRP[/B] is our new (second) favorite game ever. :) [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
