I like boxed sets to have dice, rulebooks (GM’s book/player’s book), a starting adventure, a map if applicable, and a couple of character sheets.

Oh, and a decent price threshold. I appreciate some expensive boxed sets (I bought Castle Zagyg, after all) and what drives them to be made, but it ain’t my scene, nor do I see it as good for accessibility.

So, what does a boxed set entail, exactly? Besides, obviously, a box. I'm actually quite happy to see the WFRP 3e set. While I probably won't buy it, as the setting has never done anything for me, I think it is a strong, valid option for an RPG. It's not that different from Ptolus or World's Largest Dungeon. I think it was Rob Donoghue that made the comment I liked best though. The set would be 100% worth it if I could use it to run other games. From the reviews I've read, it's actually got some really neat utility for simplifying bookkeeping and making it visceral and obvious.

Not so, Jim. I want affordable, all-in-one boxed sets. I can see where you'd think that.

@daTrux: Gold: The Series would definitely get the Gamer Culture award, or Gamer Emmy Award.

I think your Silver Worst Trend and your Gold Trend I Hope to See in 2010 are at odds.

Silver: $99 RPGs with 30 specialty dice, cards, and special pieces I need to play. OK, Warhammer 3e, it isn't totally your fault, but that's not what I want in the hobby. Give me inexpensive books, OGL pdfs, and accessible games.

Q to the F to the T.

You can actually get WFRP3 on Amazon for something in the neighborhood of $65, but the last time I dropped 60+ bucks to try a new edition of a fantasy roleplaying game I felt completely burned.

How about a Gold medal for Gold: the series? that show kicks all kinds of ass!

The actual retail price for WFRP 3E is much lower than $99. It's cheaper or at least comparable to the PHB-DMG-MM 4E combo in price.

The game itself looks fantastic too. You should really check it out.
