DWARF TROLLSLAYERS FOR THE WIN!~

errm sorry, I hope theres atleast some parity of quality with wow and even eq2 and I’d be content to throw some money there way for a bash just to get back to the warhammer setting.

I loved the roleplaying game, I think i read the book like 100 times over as if it was a novel. I adored the baraque If i can describe it that way setting with politics, intrigue(as mentioned above) and gunpowder and all.

even tho i grew to dislike gw, i still have fond memoroes of whrp.

love n hugs!~

What exactly is that coming out of the beast’s stomach on the right? Maggots? His intestines?

Gross.

Soon, assimilation will be complete, and the world’s gaming press will all fall under the banner of the might of RPS once they bring them down from within. Resistance is Futile.

On one hand I am, like others have said, dissapointed that they haven’t gone for the grim world of perilous adventure of original WFRP.

But then I see a Great Unclean One (that’s the fat fellow in the picture) and start giggling with glee, like it was 15 years ago and I was just finding out about Warhammer.

(Though also dissapointed that no-one could just make a single player Warhammer RPG and I have to do this MMPORG crap instead)

Coincidentally, I’d just read your WAR preview in this month’s PC Format, along with Alec’s feature on classic gaming, Kieron’s review of Turning Point, and Jim’s review of C&C 3: Kane’s Wrath. Phew.

I’ve heard nothing but bad comments from various people from a variety of gaming backgrounds who are in the beta. I’m not hopeful.

I still wish they’d approached this in a fashion closer to the tactical game, by making the player “characters” entire military units rather than single heroes.
It does sound like there’s some potential in what they’re attempting, though.

Rook – you’re a right grumpy old sod, aren’t you? Do cheer up.

Amazingly Edge had never written anything about WAR since it stopped being a game made in the UK about 300 years ago. So this was an introductory preview, rather than a hands on. However, the correspondent has played a PQ, and some PVP, and tells me he found it to be very enjoyable indeed.

You really got my attention with those
futuristic robot races and their special Knowledge Tablets.
I was hoping to see more on this subject.
