The great Twin-Tailed Comet, a portent tied to both Sigmar and the Empire, has been seen in the sky. In response to this ominous sign, and sensing the fate of the realm is at stake, Emperor Karl Franz works tirelessly to protect the Empire. Will you answer his call and brave the perils ahead?

A new era in roleplaying dawns with the release of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay this Fall. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to present the Emperor's Decree Pre-release Event at your Friendly Local Game Store the weekend of November 13th - 15th.

Excellent! I've notified my FLGS and offered my services! Maybe 30 November release date isn't so far-fetched after all.

To those people who participate - please don't forget the rest of us, and share your experience after playing, ok?

I got a question about this demo adventure - will it be on FFG site for free download?

And I hope that the 30 november is the real release date , I can't wait to buy my copy of WFRP 3ed.

Maybe we will get lucky and someone will record it and upload it online somewhere so we can get the demo video of actual game play that many of us have been asking for.

That's the estimated date Amazon is showing ... so who knows for sure (other than FFG, of course). However, if the "pre-launch" event is 13-15th, I wouldn't expect the release to be more than a few weeks afterwards. 2 weeks is the 30th... so it actually seems a reasonable date.

Assuming my FLGS gets picked to run the pre-launch event, I'll try to take pictures during my games. Regardless, I'll certainly write up a review of my experience (good and bad) and thoughts on the system. I get to run it at least twice, which I think will be a good thing to get more familiar with it and get a better idea how things work.

I found this on the net and I must say - the game looks amazing. i can't wait to buy my copy of this.

Also I would like to see the demo adventure od the web page, I would like to read it and see it as soon as it's posible.

Let the game come to me as soon as FFG will release it. Can't wait to buy it and try it. Please FFG make the release as soon as You can.

NERDGASM!

Well, that seals the deal. I'm officially in.

LOOK AT ALL DAT STUFF!

Also note that there's still a bunch of stuff in the box. They didn't even lay everything out.

Necrozius said:

I wouldn't quite put all your eggs in the basket on this. They'll clearly have the airfreight copies on hand to send out to the stores by the 7th or so, but sea freight typically lags by at least a month, and sometimes much more. They could be pushing Christmas.

That said, it's entirely possible that they've had the airfreight copies for some time, and that this is a totally groundless concern.

looks awesome, I just had a talk with my FLGS (while buying my copy of rouge trader none the less!) and offered to run the demo, and if it runs half as successfully as the Galactica Demo we ran, it'll be awesome.

Expect me too if i get to play a game : )

Necrozius said:

yeah and the fact that they can give out copies already tells us one thing....they have the game....its ready boys and girls.....its ready....and so are we!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Farin said:

Yes, it ready I also think it is. We should write to FFG a letter so they would release it sooner the 30th november, I can't wait to buy it.

Please FFG release it now.

ffgfan said:

There is a huge difference between having a couple of advance copies and being able to release the game. Most likely the game is still at the printer or on the dreaded slow boat from China.

42! said:

LOL yes very true...but having copies of the game to hand out proves.....its ready.....we just need to get our hands on it....feels like Christmas!!!!

Yep, once early-to-mid-November comes around they are just waiting for the printing/production lines, and not development or QA.

No, I'm in the UK

Artaxerxes said:

sorry

Farin said:

It's not that bad.

i really cant wait to play test this.....i hope my FLGS gets a copy this would be great : ) Three cheers for FFG HIP HIP! HAZAW! HIP HIP! HAZAW! HIP HIP! HAZAW!

Well, this sucks! My big local game store (Games HQ: http://www.gameheadquarters.com ) said they have no clue if there is a demo, which means they did not know that they will have to buy a game to have a demo (unless I am missing something). So, no demo means I have to figure out another way to get a taste of the game before I shell out $100 to find out if I like it or not.

Any suggestions?

Dustin said:

i plan to record my session of it so you can watch that : )

If I can and if I'll be free that days I will go to my FLGS and see it, hoping even to play it.

I hope that FFG thinks about for all the other that can't or just don't have the oportuniy to take part in this event and they will release the demo adventure as a pdf on the site.
