Game Geeks  

I also noticed the little round chapter/section art pieces reminiscent of 1st edition in the new one. Liked it. I have fond memories of WFRP 1e from my late 80s childhood. The grimdark shock was wonderful!

Yup. In fact the entire concept of "grimdark" had its genesis with Warhammer.

Beat me to it

I would only play Troll slayers back in the day- producer Rob

Mohawks are for the most metal of Dwarfs

good one!

It's actually a trope that goes back to 1st edition (I believe). Someone described WFRP as "start out playing Dungeons and Dragons, and slowly realise you're actually playing Call of Cthulhu". 😉

@@VaughanCockell I never heard that back then, but hardly anyone knew about it in my area. Guess it was an obvious observation! Heh

Last video was two weeks ago. As game geeks goes, that's practically yesterday :)

Best one.

Grim and Perilous was WFRPs original tagline, not Zweihander's, so yeah.

Petty magic spells are literally cantrips. They require 0 SL’s to succeed.

Not if you're a game master who rules with an iron fist. ;) All kidding aside, I find that if you pitch an rpg or a setting well, players will usually be open to exploring new avenues. One of my current groups consists entirely of people who had only ever played 5E when we first started playing. We've been playing since 2017 and I've never touched 5E during that entire time. We have, however, played 2E, BECMI, Conan (2d20 system), Mutants & Masterminds 3, the Marvel Saga game, Slipsteam (Savage Worlds), Blue Rose, and Star Wars - Edge of Empire. My players have, themselves, moved on to other games as well: one of them is going to run a Star Trek game soon. It all depends on the pitch. And feel free to let them know you would enjoy running such a game. As game masters we tend to find it important that our players have fun - I think this is no different for the players themselves. They tend to want you to enjoy yourself too.

Looks like one of those electric belly muscle electric stimulators.

I was never too keen on the Old World setting, and for the same reasons as you give. It reminded me, but was not quite as bad as D&D's Known World of Mystara: a messy collection of unimaginative nations based on real world cultures from around the globe (all in close proximity to one another for some strange reason). As you say, it is probably best just to use another systems setting, or create your own. The world of Symbaroum might work.

I kinda like it, it maked the game feel more like a historical horror game than a bogstandard Forgotten Realms clone where things are shoehorned in because there are stats for them from other settings.
