Shut up Brady.

I'm a little confused.  It's been widely established (no idea how accurate, just that I've heard this from multiple sources) that Warhammer Fantasy 1e directly influenced D&D 3e, which has also been reviled by the OSR for being waay to 'New School', so Kruggy's desire of not wanting any thing New School (whatever the fuck that means) is implying that anything WFRPG 1e is not what he wants.  Ergo, means he wants to go back further into the roots, which is the war game.

It is your natural state. Now stop trying to pick a fight with your little sparring partner and go talk about something that A) You give a shit about and B) You know something about. I realise that narrows the scope of your interaction with the forum to a tiny proportion of threads, but your spiel is starting to vex me.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;943318...any thing New School (whatever the fuck that means)...

I think it's pretty clear what he meant, because he tacked some details on to the end of the sentence - "with lots of OOC Thematic Story Mechanics (or really any at all)". Does that have anything to do with D&D3e, or the OSR, or a reverse-relationship between D&D3 and WFRP1? No. Then why bring it up? Because otherwise it just sounds like you're doing some ridiculous logic gymnastics to troll your enemies.

1. Make sure Jay Little is nowhere on the continent when they begin.

How the hell did Modiphius let WFRP slip through their fingers? I figured that they'd find some way to get their grubby mitts on it, and get Little to convert it to 2D20...

They have said that they had enough on their plate and didn't even bid for it. Apparently they have another big announcement in Spring 2017.

All i can say is thank God!

That makes sense. How many game lines do they have now in the early stages of development?

To answer the OP: I'm not sure I'd really care about a WFRP4e. I doubt I'd buy it unless it hearkened back to 1e/2e mechanics. I'd definitely go for pdfs of 1e/2e material, though.

Honestly its unlikely Cubicle7 will do anything with warhammer that interests me.

The chances of them returning to everything that made the first edition of the RPG special is astronomically unlikely.

They might come up with an interesting system, but thats what I've thought of each of the C7 systems I've read..."thats interesting", and then continue to using the systems I already use.

Worste case scenario they'l be basing the game on the  current Age of Sigmar fluff, rather than the Old World. And AoS has just incredibly retarded fluff, a nonsensical setting, and is focused on this over-the-top fantastical over-designed aesthetic so that the eponymous "ratcatcher with small vicious dog" that was so iconic of the 1st edition would be  nothing more than a stain on the heels of a Sigmarine trampling his way through the "Realms of Retarded Names".

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...

Geedubs is neeeeeeever gonna allow that dude.  They are the mid-4e stage WotC - but forever.  Unfortunately they're so goddamn popular they can keep pissing on the old guard until they leave and on the new guys and tell 'em it's raining and they'll line up to pay for it.

I want an Age of Sigmar RPG.

Why? I already have WFRP 1e. I checked on it last night and its still functioning just fine. Turns out the announcement of a new edition did not ignite my old books thanks to the sigil of protection I placed on their flesh bound pages which I earned from my many skull sacrifices to Khorne.

I have zero interest in a rehash of stuff I own.

My hope for Cubicle 7 is a multi-year very lengthy delay so Zweihander can establish and develop his retro-whatever in the marketplace.

Zwei's deserves that after all his 24/7 shilling!

Quote from: Spinachcat;943347I want an Age of Sigmar RPG.

To be honest, I don't know if I do.  The fluff I read... well, I got bored and put it down.  It's nowhere near as interesting as the old stuff, or the 40k stuff.

Quote from: Skywalker;943293WFRP2e with more explicit throwbacks to the vibe of 1e.

Yeah, pretty much this, though I also want 1e's setting and some of the rules.

Godbound?

Every 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?

Champions seems to have pulled it off for most fans.
