G.2:
Thanks for the heads-up. I am going to have a look at this.
Kera foehunter:
Thanks Wallacer you can find the cool stuff

I have several reservations on this as a long-time WFRP player, but they are lengthy. Ultimately, I’m waiting to see the product before I decide what to do.

I have all the 1st ed stuff as well. I’ll be quickly picking up the few 2nd ed books I’m still missing, waiting for my last coupple of issues of Warpstone to arrive (RIP) and then going to ground.

I played alot of WFRP in the early days in fact it lead me to Warhammer .I think i will give it a look ta :hat
GRNDL:
It looks like they are trying to follow the D&D 4e example (in terms of supporting materials - cards, etc), perhaps even mimicking the video game MMO template to capture today’s market. To an old D&D (and yes, WFRP 1st ed) grognard, its a bad move.
When playing 4e, I tend to throw out a lot of their “video game” mechanics and still with the old fashioned abstractions, which work fine and don’t bog the narrative down. Computer systems can be complex and possess depth because the computer is doing all the hard work, but in a P&P RPG you need to work fast and easy.
Still, I’m a sucked for accessories and aids for playing P&P, so I may end up with this in my collection.
Also, I’m not sold on the custom dice. Any break from normal dice, for me, is a bad thing - its a gimmick. That dice system looks very weird to interpret, IMO.
torn:
i am honestly shocked at this as me and my bro just got the newly released careers compendium for 2nd ed. in may. I wonder if everything is compatible from 2nd to 3rd. I love the d100 system WFRP uses i probably wont like it if it has changed too much.
I agree with GRNDL, in a roleplaying game you have to spend most of your time role-playing, not working out lots of dice rolls which are so complex they take you out of your character to do it.
wallacer:
I wonder if everything is compatible from 2nd to 3rd.I wouldn't bet money on it. It looks like a fairly significant departure to me.

And already there is a FAQ out :o

I may have to start stocking up on the 2E book… sounds like they have a lot of background material too.
wallacer:
I may have to start stocking up on the 2E book... sounds like they have a lot of background material too.They do. Sigmar's Heirs is particularly good. I thought Children of the Horned Rat was a good read as well.
Swissdictator
The only one I was actually vaguely disappointed by was Old World Armoury.
Swissdictator:
Is there a list of all the books available?
Children of the Horned Rat does sound very cool, as I love the Skaven. They’re my next project too, so I could probably be motivated by that book. Empire was my first army, and I will always like them, so Sigmar’s Heirs would be good. Sheesh, you know my tastes… or you’re a stalker. 
slev:
I have a list at home that I can post if needed.
torn:
the problem with 2nd ed books is the likes of children of the horned rat and realms of chaos will really set you back a lot of cash if you want one. last price i saw seige of nuln for was about £200. common books are fairly cheap but the rare books are priced out of this world!
Willmark:
Only just heard about this, shame.
I will play third or fourth Ed D&D but I will not DM it. Same will probably go for 3e WHFRP. I like what they did with 2e so it looks like it’s time start stocking up.
Hashut’s Blessing:
slev, I’d like to see the list please.
torn, I REALLY recommend having a look at Amazon: they still sell that for ~£15.
slev:
I’ll try & dig it out…
