Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e Core

I played a lot of 2E (but not 3E, which is a completely different system); so I came into 4E with high expectations. I was actually surprised to see many of them met.4E is overall better designed and probably better balanced than 2E; which is not to say that there aren't some utterly broken things (you don't want to be on the receiving end of magic or gunfire... or, well, anything, really). But the design seems to be true to the setting and the mechanics an improvement (the fact that there's more scope for rolling Characteristic + Skill, even in combat, makes failure less of a problem than in 2E).There's also a basic system for "downtime" Events actions which smooths over a lot of issues that 2E had; between Adventures, you can get up to 3 Events, which can be used to do things like train into a new Career with a 100 XP reduction to the cost (a popular house rule in previous editions anyway; meaning changing from a completed Career is effectively free if you can spend an Event for it); or learn non-Career Skills; or even non-Career Talents, with difficulty. And so on. Elves are "balanced" somewhat by being forced to spend an Event on cultivating their Elvenness.This edition got a lot right, in my opinion.

The book came in amazing condition, but because I bought it second hand it did take a while to come

The media could not be loaded. This book is amazing. The new, fourth edition keeps what was the best in the second edition and makes some changes so that the gameplay would be more enjoyable... And it is! My favourite part are the changes to the career path. My players always struggled with levelling up of their characters and with the visualisations of advance schemes I feel like it's easier now for them.The book is very pretty, it has some amazing arts that the second edition lacked, the content also seems to be better structured. If you want to start your adventure with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, don't hesitate further, it's one of the best RPG settings I've ever played.

I was a fan or the original 1st and the 2nd edition WFRP games. Warhammer is one of the better fantasy settings, being dark and gritty and not shiny like a medieval faire. This edition keeps that up and with some rewriting that address some of the issues some players had with the earlier games. Character generation is still interesting and nicely done and much background material is promised to be released with already a library of older material still to be easily converted and used.The book is one of those nice hardback books that feels good in your hands and I will always prefer this kind of product over a pdf.That being said I do think a better editor or perhaps one with more RPG editing experience would of created a better book, as some of the rules are all over the place or poorly explained. However, this is just a small niggle and 95% of the book is very well written and laid out.No RPG is perfect, but this is quite close. Highly recommended, but if your still not sure listen to a podcast or two of actual play and see if it's for you.

When I was younger I loved Warhammer! But as I grew older I moved on and left it behind. Then recently I head about this RPG and bought it on a whim.I’m glad I did as this is incredible! The artwork used throughout is amazing and very evocative. The rules system is complex, but not hard to learn. Dramatic tests including varying degrees of success has lead to some great moments around the table!If you are looking for an RPG game where you don’t play the protagonist, but instead play someone caught up in the changing world and evil powers around them then you will not be disappointed by WFRP 4th edition.

Takes me back to the original rules and been hardback will last ages and full of easy to 7nderstand asic rules but in-depth too. Far better than many modern day rpgs

Dungeons and Dragons for the Warhammer Old World.If you don't know what that means, then you may want something else!Otherwise open the book and enter a dark, grim world of adventure.You will need a group of friends, paper, a pencil and some d10 dice!The rule book is very well written, clear and understandable. Highly recommended!

This book is so nicely done, amazing artwork and quality materials. The game is fairly complex compared to some newer RPGs but there are so many careers and options in such a deep, rich fantasy world it’s worth the effort. Happy to recommend.
