"Warhammer is just a standard Tolkienesque fantasy setting" is such a deliciously laser-guided provocation

I mean, if you can find something any two "standard Tolkienesque fantasy settings" have, it's also in Warhammer. Tolkienesque is a pretty vague adjective.

Trappings are not only the free starting kit. It is the kit you must own to start a career. To become a pistolier you need to buy a horse, pair of pistols etc. And to become a student you need a few books. Some careers require a lot of kit. There are careers for landed aristocracy with huge gobs of cash and luxuries and a piece of land required.

A few years ago I did an experiment and within a couple of months, I created characters and run adventures to different groups in all four editions of WFRP. That was a very interesting experience and I strongly advise anyone interested in the evolution of mainstream RPGs to do just that. As Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has been created as a direct response to the first D&D editions and then evolved in response to changing climate in the gaming community, the ruleset shows a lot of evolving philosophy of RPG design.

It's a lot like playing Warhammer Fantasy Battles around 3rd to 4th ed in RPG form. You could literally convert your WFRP PC into a WFB model. GW was already making RPG-adjacent wargaming that was not a clear RPG or wargame either.

You don't roll on the hit location table. You invert the digits for the attack roll. If the goblin rolled a 23, the hit is at location 32.

@SusCalvin 3 ай бұрын

Does the hit location matter for anything other than the armour of that location? A hit on the head or an arm adds nothing special?

@benedictrogers1478 2 ай бұрын

@@SusCalvinyes, at least in later editions it determines the effects of Critical Damage when you drop below 0 Wounds. Those Critical Damage tables being one of the things WFRP and it's derivatives are best known for, they get graphic (the 40k ones are actually toned down). It might seem complex, but the use of a flip-flop for hit location was actually genius and keeps combat moving quickly. Until you're dealing with Critical Damage, but that just makes it an event.

As a Fire Emblem fan, the career system in this game reminds me quite a bit of how those video games handle classes, while also taking it further and allowing players to really explore wherever they want, given a journey. I really like that, and I'll probably steal some of these ideas for a project of mine at some point.

1st ed WFRP characters are more than kinda like expanded WFB character; the systems were designed to be interoperable, as was Rogue Trader. There were rules for converting characters and weapons stat-lines between the systems and there were supplements published which contained material for all three systems. The most notable of these to my mind being Realms of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness as, because of this, it includes bizarre tables of chaos mutations and boons that can result in, for example, Khorne gifting the antagonist of a WFRP campaign a fully operational lascannon with infinite ammunition.

I'm so happy to finally see WFRP done, you make everything so much easier to understand!

As a player of WFR, I'm surprise your character didn't die during character creation, well done dawi.

The awesome thing about Warhammer Fantasy Role-play is that it's not just a great system for combat ( small scale & large scale ) but also a great system for political intrigue and mysterie investigations.

Oooh yeah, the start of the saga I was expecting, hope you do the rest of the editions

Armour is relatively simple. You have mail or plate or both for 1 or 2 armour. A shield adds a third, movable point. Leather armour does not stack at all and only saves against glances and scratches. A typical human has T3 which adds to this, but then an average human also has S3 which adds to damage. All weapons do d6 plus or minus a couple points. On the side of this is a shield. Dodging is an action, when dodging you are not doing other things. There was rules for carrying and cover etc.

This was a lot of fun to watch. I really hope you create a similar dwarf warrior in all 4 editions.

Considering Owlcat is making a Rogue Trader CRPG, a video on the Rogue Trader TTRPG would be interesting.

It'd be sick if they eventually do a WHFRPG game as well, but im hella stoked for Rouge Trader.

WFRP skills are an odd combo of skills and feats. They are not yet cleanly split into feats and talents. You might not roll a skill, you just do a thing or get a bonus. You have no skill level, you make all rolls against your profile.

I love the careers of this game.

@SusCalvin 2 ай бұрын

Any favourites?

@SusCalvin 3 ай бұрын

The careers are not classes or levels. They are a winding road where you are either trying to master your current one or looking for the next. You cann and will take weird sidesteps. Advanced careers are simply all careers not available to starting PCs. All careers have available exits, the next path. To qualify you simply aquire the trappings of the next career and conclude your old with mastery. There are many cheap goon careers, drunk blokes at the pub and failed students. This is the heroes the empire deserves.
