I know that this is an odd question but I am not sure about this game.

My friends bought me the big core boxed set (the $100 box!) last year for my birthday (I run a game of Dark Heresy for them so they figured it would be a good gift) and I have to admit I have not really touched it.

It seemed that you have to play one of the pre-generated characters or what have you and I have never liked that. SOmeone has told me that I am wrong and before invest time I don't have - can people give me a better understanding of this game? It seems to be doing well but what will excite me about this game?

I know this is odd but if you are playining and like thsi game - help me out!

Thanks

Todd

PS I am not trying to pre-judge so if I got my initial assessmene wrong - tell me!

Cheers!

It's a traditional RPG with some new components. Those pre generated characters you mention are most likely career sheets. They are just used when spending experience.

If you'd like to get an idea of how the game runs (from character creation through an entire session) you could do a lot worse than listening to the Reckless Dice podcasts. Despite getting the occasional rules call wrong they do a great job of taking you through things with some live examples that will help you 'get' WFRP 3rd Ed.

Yeah reckless dice have some great podcasts.

Fistful of Misanthropes are also worth checking out. They have about 10 WFRP 3e session podcasts. You can google them or find their podcast on itunes.
