By Storm Wolf, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

To be fair, it is very difficult ,maybe impossible, to know whether the complete lack of iinterest in WFRP by FFG, is down to FFG alone or down to FFG having trouble with GW. A combination of both I suspect.

Either way there is some great stuff in the pipeline from Liber Fanatica alone. However please remember we all have to work full time to keep the kiddies fed and a roof over our heads, so products do not arrive at the speed we would all like them to.

For the completionist I fear the Star Wars line is going to be a massive investment comparatively, and that will be for modules that repeat much of the same information. Talk about "scam". The illusion of "3 separate games" isn't working on anyone with a cerebral cortex.

I guess I don't have a cerebral cortex then. Must have left it in my other pants. Oh wait, this is the internet. I'm probably not wearing any pants. :)

FFG's approach to the 40k Universe works for me. The need there for multiple game lines is the Space Marines. If you respect the fluff, a Space Marine has to be a lot more physically powerful and healthy than an Imperial Guardsman or any civilian. Balancing those careers would be almost impossible... so they shoved the marines off into their own sub-set of the universe, with higher stats and better equipment, but also correspondingly harder monsters to face. Character creation and party composition in the various sub-sets is pretty divergent, but they share enough rules in common that things don't implode much if you use an item or NPC from Rogue Trader in your Dark Heresy game.

Star Wars has the same issue in the Jedi. Either you have to throw away all notions of play balance because the Jedi PC is so much more powerful than the non-Jedi's, or you have to disrespect the setting by downplaying the potency of The Force. I've had a lot of experience with the old d6 Star Wars and a bit less with the d20 Star Wars but it held true for both. If the game / campaign represented Jedi faithfully, then everyone wanted to be a Jedi. There's nothing worse than starting out the campaign as a Smuggler or Bounty-Hunter and discovering 3 sessions in that some other PC in the party can do everything you do, nearly as well as you do it, and they also get mind-control/levitation/telepathy/force-lightning on top of it.

That's the spirit!!

Force and Destiny is definitely going to be interesting. Edge and Age, from what I've seen and run, should blend together seamlessly for most GM's. The Force Exile in my current group has been really well balanced with the rest of the group, but I'm curious to see what's gonig to happen when 3-4 more white dice hit that pool.

They're probably trying to reign it in narratively with the timeframe that it's set in, and I'm sure "Rebels" will be a must watch to see how a force user might behave in between Ep. 4-5.

If I know my munchkin SW community though it will be the homebrew Old Republic crowd we'll hear from first, the second that lightning hits.

But I derail. And now I want to play Deathwatch. Because reasons.

We've spent $100 in cheetos alone. We definitely couldn't be playing at a pub table :)
