Comments on: WFRP3 – What’s the Verdict? http://www.zanysite.com/tabletoprpgfun/2010/02/wfrp3-whats-the-verdict/ Role playing game articles, reviews, humor, links, free downloads and more Fri, 12 Aug 2011 04:08:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: J P http://www.zanysite.com/tabletoprpgfun/2010/02/wfrp3-whats-the-verdict/comment-page-1/#comment-1444 J P Sun, 21 Feb 2010 07:19:05 +0000 http://www.zanysite.com/tabletoprpgfun/?p=409#comment-1444 Thanks for your continued attempts to post here - last WP upgrade trashed a few things. I know exactly where you're coming from with what you're saying, and I too think as far as *some* fans, WFRP 3E is indeed "Fail", overall - as I said, some ideas seem admirable, but overall, the whole concept of just gutting everything but the name was just ruthless and uncaring. I too haven't played 3E, and unless I happen to find myself at a con, which doesn't happen, nobody I know has the kind of money to keep up with buying new RPGs anymore, so I doubt I'll be playing it either, and my views are also based on what I've read on it.

I guess I'd like to qualify my FAIL statement since I was only just looking into the system and haven't actually played it as yet. Since most of my core group have moved on to WoW or similar a real play test is unlikely any time soon. It may have just been a knee-jerk reaction to how much had changed, but I agree with you that the cards seem like a good idea to keep pertinent info at the ready. You're also right about those being photo-copy-able and I imagine we'll see custom cards on the internet soon anyway. All the other little cardboard chits and the dice pools idea I don't like so much. The FAIL isn't so much from their perspective (ie: will they sell any), but from my perspective (ie: will I buy it) Hey there! I guess I’d like to qualify my FAIL statement since I was
