Warhammer Fantasy 3 Trailer
In case you missed it, Fantasy Flight Games has released a new trailer for WFRP 3, the boardgame/RPG $100 experiment coming soon to a gaming store near you.
Interesting stuff (and cool dice), but I still don't think this is going to do it for me. Not my idea of design at all. Frankly, I think WFRP 2 was pretty great as is, and I think this is a risky departure for not much gain. Too pricey, too boardgamey, and too many specialty bits needed to play. I want my gaming to fit in with a book or two, some dice, and whatever I draw on a map. Pewter or paper minis are optional (we had a Klingon Bird of Prey dice from Star Fleet Battles or somesuch represent a player last Friday, and it just gave me a chance to use the Star Trek Fight Music on my playlist).
At this point, I suspect the game is as targeted at FFG's board gamers as it is anyone who enjoyed previous editions of Warhammer Fantasy, perhaps even more so given the radical departure we're seeing.
