An Overdue Review of the New Warhammer

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has always been one of my favorite RPGs (WFRP, D&D, and C&C are probably my top three). My wife got me the first three releases for my birthday last month - the main rulebook, the Plundered Vaults adventure anthology, and the Character Pack (the latter isn't really all that useful). A couple weeks ago I bought the monster book - the Old World Bestiary. All four books are very well-done, as you'd expect from WFRP.

I have yet to play the new version but overall it looks good - they kept the good features of the original game and changed or dropped the not-so-good. The magic system in particular looks intriguing. I also like how the Bestiary has an "in-game" section in the front and then the standard stat blocks in the back.

OK, this is a pretty crappy review; more of a fanboy gush. But, I don't care; I don't feel like writing an in-depth review. If you're interested in the game, check out the real reviews you can find elsewhere on the Web. Personally, I think it looks like a great choice for your main game or as an alternate to your standard campaign.
