[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 4024198, member: 27051"] WHFRP (the original edition - haven't checked out the recent version.) I played in two campaigns (one short, one not short) and a couple of one-offs. Great fun. Cool, gritty setting, simple and flexible mechanics and an omnipresent sense of threat that few other games have managed to capture out of the box imho. It also has room for a degree of gallows humour which manages to add to the feel of the game without becoming silly. Huge chunks ripped bleeding from Moorcock (and elsewhere) but worked into the setting in such a way that it works without feeling tacked-on. It has a great career system that allows for your character to grow and develop through play and a magic system that is genuinely unnerving. One campaign (essentially the Enemy Within arc) ran until the DM moved to university. Another ran until the DM decided that he wanted space marines and genestealer in the game - we objected and the campaign ended. The one-shots were all part of a third DM's ongoing game in which I cameoed from time to time. All good stuff. [/QUOTE]
