| Dec 7, 2011 at 9:14 | comment | added | OpaCitiZen | A quick check says both 1E and 2E are still available (in "used" condition) atm via ebay and amazon (from 3rd party sellers, of course.) And the prices aren't stellar either... yet. :) | |

| Dec 5, 2011 at 22:31 | comment | added | OpaCitiZen | In general I'm not a fan of "rpg literature", and had quite similar experiences with the WFRP novels (too) as you did - yet we found that we could breathe life into the setting itself the way we wanted, keeping what we liked and discarding what was silly. :) | |
| Dec 5, 2011 at 20:49 | comment | added | Maurycy | I will look into it if/when/should I have free time. I used to like some Warhammer books as a child so I have fond memories of the universe (though when I read them again as an adult the same books seemed silly and low quality). | |
| Dec 5, 2011 at 19:31 | comment | added | OpaCitiZen | @MaurycyZarzycki I'd considered recommending Earthdawn (its most recent edition) as well, but even though it's an amazing game, it has everything but a simple system. Anyhow, if you have a few spare minutes, reading up on a review or two about it can't be a bad idea. | |
| Dec 5, 2011 at 18:39 | comment | added | OpaCitiZen | :) A horrible GM can ruin anything, true - and there are aspects of WFRP that, if overdone and/or misrepresented, can be seen as rather hilarious. (But hey, what can't be caricatured?) | |
| Dec 5, 2011 at 18:17 | comment | added | Maurycy | Shucks, even if I wanted (I won't say I don't, I just don't have opinion) it wouldn't work - the players who I play with don't like Warhammer. Actually they ridicule it on each step, primarily because they once played through character creation with an awful awful GM, it's kind of traumatic experience for them :). | |
