This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What would you like to see in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e?

Quote from: AaronBrown99;944805Where did you mention them? Which volume has the talent and spell info from hero's call?

Post 71. The Talent and Spell info was charted in the Player's Guide: https://www.amazon.com/Warhammer-Fantasy-Roleplay-Players-Guide/dp/B004H9IP1G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486601510&sr=8-2&keywords=warhammer+player%27s+guide

That, along with the hardcover gamemaster's guide and Creature Guide contained all the info of the original boxed set and most of the major expansion boxes.

Quote from: Larsdangly;943366Every case like this that comes up firms up my belief that when people start talking about the 4th edition of some game, you should probably ditch most of the crap clogging up your bookshelves and just play the first edition. Can anyone name me a game that is actually better - as a game you play, not a collectable fetish objet - in its 4th edition than in its 1st?
Pretty sure it's the case with Earthdawn and maybe Fuzion, depending on how you count Fuzion "editions":).

Quote from: CRKrueger;943308Topic Creep!

First thing I'd like C7 to do with the license is make all the old stuff available through DTRPG.  WFRP1, 2 and 3 if they can.  

Sell All the Warhammers!!

After that, if they are doing to do WFRP4 they need to...
1. Make sure Jay Little is nowhere on the continent when they begin.
2. Don't make some kind of New School game with lots of OOC Thematic Story Mechanics (or really any at all)
3. Don't make it a TOR hack.
4. Don't make it a 5e hack.

As far as specific mechanics, more on that later...
As I expected, CRK speaks what I had in mind.
Unlike others, though, I'd want Cubicle7 to use either Mythras, or to come up with a system of their own for the setting, like the systems in Qin and Kuro which fit their settings like gloves;)!

Sixth edition of Runequest, 4th edition of Pendragon, and 5th edition of Call of Cthulhu I'd say are generally better than their first editions, respectively.

Well, if we go for "any edition past the 4th", that game gets too easy;)!

Quote from: RPGPundit;944045I'd just like to see that it wasn't complete and utter garbage like 3rd was.

They did have some very good adventures though, Witch's Song, the rebooted Enemy Within campaign, Edge of Night, those where pretty cool and very close to the 1st edition spirit.

But yeah I'd use Renaissance or LotFP to run them.

And yes, if someone could find an rpg project in Siberia for Jay Little that would be great (and not very nice for Siberians)
