Warcraft d20?

[The Other Librarian]

A friend of mine who's a big WC3 fan wants me to run a d20 game. Anyone played the S&S game? How did it go? Was the flavor close to WC? Recommend it?

Thanks

Well, forty-odd views and no reply. That must say something about the popularity if d20 warcraft?

It seems to be okay after a read through though I've never played.

A specific question, does the game world have any specific deities? When I say specific, I'm talking they lay out the name (and maybe divine level), alignment, portfolio, symbol, and domains (and maybe favored weapon)?

Nope. The night elves have a pantheon of gods they worship, but they aren't statted, nor are any favored weapons listed.

In respose to the thread starter, the Warcraft RPG is a very interesting setting that breaks away form many of the stereotypes in many other FRPGs. Be careful, however, since several of the races and classes are quite unbalanced.

Also, the Warcraft RPG is a D&D setting rather than an RPG that uses the D20 System. So really, this thread could have been started in General RPG Discussion.

Thanks for the info, guys. I was aware of the game, having briefly flipped through it once before, but hadn't really looked at it very closely. My immediate impression was similar to Crothian's; "it looks ok", but ehh. But a friend of mine is interested, all geared up for World of Warcraft, so I though I might look into it a bit more.

I'll definitely check out the forums. Thanks for the heads up CD.

I've played. My group thought it was very good. It was a nice change of pace. It's a great experiance if everyone in the group is into Warcraft. Some of the mechanics did seem a bit unbalanced but after playing we realized it really wasn't as bad as it looked initially. All in all we thought it was a good game.

As far as the gods and divine levels, I believe one of the next releases touches on just that. I think it's due out in November or something. (Shadows and Light)
