I have so far managed to resist buying WHFR3, but I know that resistance is futile...

Now, most of the time, the GM in my group gets home field advantage. But every now and then we shift location for various reasons. With only the handful of books required by most rpg:s, this isn't a problem. But WFRP3 has more stuff then a handful of books.

So the question is, how easy is it to carry WFRP3 around? Does everything fit in one box, or will I have to get a huge backpack if I'm to game at another location?

Everything released so far fits in the core box.

That core box of mine holds everything! Ive got Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay – Core Set, The Adventurer's Toolkit, Dice Accessory Pack, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Game Master's Toolkit and The Gathering Storm with some room for more to go.

With all of those items it is a hefty box, but its got it all.

What they've got out there now is bursting through one box. I find it hard to believe EVERYTHING fits in the current box right now, but others say it's so.

I see many boxes needing to be transported on the horizon. I see large box card carriers and dice containers and tackleboxes of tokens.

It will be glorious!!!

Its all in how you sort. Most folks can stick everything in the core box, but I find that its hard to navigate what I'm looking for on the fly when it's all jammed in there.

It all can fit in one box but if you want fast access to find stuff then organiztion is the key.

I get everything in the Core Box, with most of the books in the GM toolkit box. This includes some added FFG tokens (Blue, Red, Gold) I bought to (show my GM-coolness and) keep track of GM-stuff so all the Core Set token are for players.

That said, if I add much more I'll need to add another box or need to somehow reorganize. It still isn't unwieldy or feel like its any more than what I take to other RPGs.

I as well can fit everything in one box and have no limitation. I went to a DIY store and picked up little boxes for all the small cards (sorted them by type) a series of round, screw together bead containers for all the counters, and bought a 4x6 photo box to keep all the career cards, party cards and nemesis cards. I then, in five minutes, cut off the back of a notebook, divided the Adventurer's toolkit into four areas using the card board and keep my action cards in there, in the main box. Overall, I have no problem with storage solutions and can my box securely knowing my cards aren't getting damaged.

I do wish FFG would commit to making card boxes though. Hard, durable card boxes for their large and small cards. Just my two cents.

I prefer the thin card boxes for most expansions since the production costs can be focused on content which all ends up packed in the core box anyway. But 12 months down the track a nice box for all the books would be cool. Shifting the books out of the core box would free up plenty of space.

Mind you, other than travel by car, I wouldn't want to lug this game round public transport.

I played in a demo that dvang ran using his colored FFG tokens (as well as in a demo before he owned them). I must say, they are pretty spiffy looking - much better than using the fortune points as distance tokens, etc... I'm not sure about GM-coolness (I mean, is that really possible), but I know I'm going to buy them for my WFRP games.

I learned from the Magic the Gathering addicts that it's best to put the cards in photo album pages. I've heard some people are putting the cards loose in boxes. Ick! That's a hard way to reference them and a quick way to accidentally them on a windy day, scattering them all the way to the Chaos Hole at the north pole. Whoops! There went a $100 + $30+30+30+30 product.

I took the game to a convention..I firmly believe I will not do that again until they come out with the component-less version.

It's portable, but I make all my players either copy their cards onto their sheets or make a copy. I don't give out my original cards no-way, no-how for them to lose and forget at home.

When it comes to chits and little cards, I just use a screw-sorter/tackle-box for all that little stuff. I mostly just keep the dice and the books in the big box.
