Hi all,
This is a small review i hope some people find it useful.
Firstly as many have stated this product is of the best build quality i have ever seen for any role-play game in over thirty years.
Nothing else comes close...Its amazing!!!!!
The game mechanics are absolutely fantastic i now have no issues at this point with anything i love the various measures that in my view assist the game.
I was concerned that this would be a bean counter exercise i was wrong it totally makes sense. I dont think it thats difficult to do and i strongly belief it will not slow down the story or hurt the players unnessarily.I am referring to thing like stance stress ect...However i will report back once i have play-tested it further.....
I have one question to the designers how many hours of play testing went into this.....Its seems very slick
I personally did not mind that the box set does not come with much detail on the empire as i have a lot of reference material however i think a quality map should have been provided and more effort on the style of what makes warhammers world unique...But i know that will follow....
As they say a good woman never gives everything away on the first date if she wants to snag a man for the long term...And boy what a woman...
The character creation process is not difficult in itself but i think will be a little confusing if you are are a new dm...I think some more examples should have been provided..
However i think there are loads of options and the races really come of the page are are very distinctive..First time i have ever really felt anyone has ever managed to capture this so well in an rpg its so simple its fantastic...Each race really shines and the flexibility you get creating a reiklander (human) at the beginning cant be down played...
Combat looks fun and diverse again everything really shines here. Movement is abstract but again beautifully clear its old school in essence but with the cards provided and the chit system to show distance its eloquent...A real thing of beauty no more counting squares no more chess matches !!!!
I can see why others have complained that there is not enough stuff to support more than three players and one dm however i see no issues how difficult is it to photocopy and in my view once the players see this they will buy and there will plenty for everyone...To be honest i have already placed orders for everything else and i may well buy another core set but im just greedy like that honestly its not needed....
I could go on and on but i would simply say this buy it.....
My respects to the whole design team and play-testers and my thanks you have made my favorite hobby exciting again when things looked at there most bleak for the industry...
This has always been my favorite campaign world and for anyone unsure still sit in on a session have a look at the product read all about the old world and like me you will be hooked....
Happy role-playing
