Any interest in this sort of thing? Anybody in more convention play?

I was just looking over the Pathfinder Society and am pretty impressed with their support.

jh

Interest - absolutely!

However, doing a living campaign is a huge undertaking that requires a large amount of manpower, and thus large dedicated RPG companies are typically the only ones who can manage it.

While I certainly hope that WFRP becomes large enough to support that kind of staff, I doubt it would be cost effective for FFG to do so now.

Rather not, in large part to it just killing the roleplay aspect of the game. Games like Pathfinder and D&D which do it just promotes pure combat characters and nothing but combat encounters, this is not that kind of game. D&D and Pathfinder are much same in the style of theme, and have a heavy focus on combat game mechanics over narrative.

If you want to run games, just run games, almost no store will say no to you, and you have full control of the games and get to make them interactive and fun, instead of generic combat missions.

do you think doing a living warhammer would kill the roleplaying aspect of the game or are you just saying that games that get played in living campaigns don't lend themselves to roleplaying anyway?

I think this sums up why LARP is never a good idea:

thanks keltheos, i was sipping a coke and i almost threw up laughing.
