Greetings!

I'm very intrigued by the WFRP 3e and will be heading to the event center Wednesday to learn more from Jay. I have no background with Warhammer RPGs and I'm burned out on Dnd 4e, so this looks really interesting to me.

I came across a review from a WOTC employee that liked WFRP 3e. It was nice to see comments from someone that actually has GMed the game. It's an interesting read as he has captured most of the things that I am looking for in an RPG that 4e does not have. Check it out.

Very interesting, glad to hear this game is getting some notice. I'd have to say I pretty much agree with most everything that was mentioned in that review, except for maybe the ease of GM'ing. But maybe that's because I haven't played an easy to GM game (from what I've heard) like D&D 4e.

Anyways, it's good to see other people taking notice at some of the improvements and mechanics FFG has presented in nWFRP.

I read the article a while back. While it's great that another company is giving props to WFRP 3e, the game system he works on is moving in a similar direction to a lesser degree. D&D 4e basically started using props with their new edition. The main difference is that WFRP 3e took that concept to the nth degree and went WAY overboard with the props and tools for game play.... IMHO, of course.

I wonder how long it will be before Rodney gets canned for touting another company in direct competition with D&D as a great game?

Next, they'll probably give a RAVE review of how Pathfinder really knows how to make a good product.

hehe

I totally respect Rodney and his work on Star Wars Saga. Wizards offers to download for free his project : a more than 300 pages full color campaign, 10 adventure, from level 1 to 20... called Dawn of Defiance. I'm juste finishing it after more than 1 and half year of weekly play... It was awesome.

Yups, Rodney was one of the few people that kept wizards of the cash just a little interesting, he is SO wasted on them after they closed down saga edition (the last product they made that was even vaguely interesting). Then again he used to be the webmaster of one of the biggest SW fan sites out there.
