[QUOTE="Charles Rampant, post: 7230947, member: 32659"] When I ran WFRP 2e back in the day, I remember thinking that it was not all [i]that[/i] different from D&D in terms of how the turns worked, but with the classes totally changed into the (sometimes unconvincing) Careers mechanic. I've not run it for nearly a decade, but I wonder how it'd feel now. Either way, I also echo other posters - your changes are rather intense, and suggest that you're really wanting a different genre of fantasy adventuring than the one D&D can provide. WFRP is indeed closer to what you seem to suggest, and is a game that aims for a life-is-hard-and-enemies-are-dangerous vibe. (Though I remember that the enemies in it were also fairly unchallenging, like much of the 5e monster manual; Skaven Rat Ogres could barely hurt the Dwarven characters) I picked up that entire Humble Bundle, but mostly so I wouldn't feel sleazy for just putting $1 in to get the 30% off coupon for buying Adventures in Middle Earth books... :D [/QUOTE]
